Tamiya 32535 KV-1 1/48 Heavy Tank Scale Model  [32535]

1/48 Scale KV-1 Replica by Tamiya with Diecast Chassis

The KV-1 stood out during WWII for its thick armour and capable armament. This Tamiya 1/48 kit recreates the vehicle's key elements, including the 76.2mm main gun and the square welded turret, providing a faithful miniature for display collections and historical builds.

Historical Role and Authenticity

Introduced in the late 1930s, the KV-1 was among the most heavily armoured tanks of its time and remained in service even after production changes in 1941. The model represents the 1940 version, offering collectors a period-correct example.

Assembly Notes and Kit Contents

The Tamiya 32535 kit features a diecast chassis to replicate structural weight and stability. Tracks are supplied as straight, single-piece parts for easier fitting, and three marking options allow different historical liveries. Pairing with Tamiya 1/48 WWII Russian Infantry and Tank Crew figures enhances diorama realism.
