Hobby Boss 84818 German Pz.Kpfw KV-1 756(r) Kit Introduction

The Hobby Boss 1:48 kit represents the German-adapted KV-1 756(r), combining moulded detail with parts that reflect the wartime conversion process. It reproduces the visual changes made to captured Soviet tanks under German use.

Historical Notes and Scale Fidelity

The KV-1 was built with heavy armour, and turret thickness reached about 75mm in some areas. German rebuilds fitted a 75mm L/43 main gun plus a German-style command cupola, details modelled in this release. Finish options include deep sand yellow or tri-colour camouflage typical of the period.

Building Advice and Display Outcome

This kit rewards careful construction and patient painting; attention to small fittings and camouflage blending will lift the final appearance. Finished models make excellent additions to a military modelling display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:48
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Paint: Required for camo and detailing
  • Assembly: Glue required
The kit supports a deep sand yellow finish and variations of tri-colour camouflage; choose reference photos to match a specific theatre or unit pattern.
Out of the box detail is good, but some modellers prefer photo-etch or brass barrels for enhanced realism; these are optional based on desired finish.
Use thin washes, drybrushing and pigment powders sparingly to suggest grime and edge wear while keeping main paint tones faithful to scale.
