Hobby Boss 84815 1/48 KV 'Big Turret' Tank Scale Replica Kit  [HB-84815]

Hobby Boss 1/48 KV 'Big Turret' Tank Detailed Model

The KV 'Big Turret' Tank is notable for its large turret and heavy silhouette, and this Hobby Boss 84815 1/48 kit recreates those proportions for collectors and modellers. It offers a compact representation of a striking World War II heavy tank.

Service Role and Turret Characteristics

The KV series was intended as a breakthrough platform, and the 'Big Turret' variant mounted a 152mm M-10 howitzer to improve firepower over the L-11. The 1939 KV-2 type is distinguished by its seven-sided turret, a design that earned the vehicle the informal nickname "Mobile washroom".

Model Building and Display Considerations

With well-defined parts, the kit allows modellers to tackle the structural quirks of the KV and present a convincing finished model. Completed examples work well in small dioramas or as standalone pieces that draw attention to the turret form.
