Hobby Boss 84816 1/48 Scale Soviet KV-2 Tank Model  [HB-84816]

Introduction to the Hobby Boss 1/48 KV-2 Kit

The Hobby Boss 1/48 KV-2 kit models the tank's imposing turret and heavy hull in a small-scale format. It aims to provide a faithful representation for modellers interested in Soviet armoured vehicles from the early 1940s.

Context and Real-World Notes

In service the KV-2 carried a 152mm howitzer within a very large turret, a configuration that made it effective against fortifications but prone to mobility limitations and slow turret rotation on rough ground. Those trade-offs are part of the vehicle's historical interest and are visible in the model's silhouette.

Model Features and Presentation Options

The kit supplies detailed plastic parts so builders can reproduce the KV-2's key features and finish it with paint and weathering. At 1/48 scale it fits with other small-scale armour models for grouped displays or focused diorama scenes.
