Hobby Boss 1/48 KV-1 Model 1942 Heavy Cast Turret Scale Replica

The KV-1 Model 1942 stands out for its heavy cast turret and thick armour, traits that made it a notable opponent in early conflict engagements. Hobby Boss has modelled the tank in 1/48 scale with attention to the external contours and primary features such as the 76.2 mm ZIS-5 gun and substantial armour plating.

Model Build and Display Considerations

This scale offers a balance between small footprint and visible detail, making the kit a good choice for modellers who like tidy assembly jobs and realistic finishes. The heavy cast turret is the star of the kit and, once complete, the model presents well on a shelf or as part of a compact diorama.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part count: Not specified
The kit contains fine parts and accurate shapes that are best handled by modellers with some prior kit building experience, though careful novices can also achieve good results.
Use subtle stippling or textured primers and light dry brushing to bring out the uneven surface typical of cast metal, then apply washes to define panel seams and recesses.
This kit is designed as a static scale model; converting it to an RC platform would require significant modification to the hull and internal structure and is not covered by the kit components.
