Tamiya 32545 Detailed 1/48 KV-1B Model Presentation

Tamiya 32545 renders the KV-1B in 1/48 scale with a focus on the appliqued armor plates and heavy silhouette. The kit balances fine surface detail with a compact size that fits well into dioramas or cabinet displays.

Significance of the KV-1B in Service

The KV-1B mounted a 76.2mm gun and carried substantial frontal armor near 75mm, and later field modifications added extra plates. These traits made the KV-1B a notable frontline vehicle during the 1941 operations on the Eastern Front.

Build Notes and Visual Features

The model includes a diecast chassis to provide weight and realism, and applique armor parts that show bolt and seam detail. The turret hatch is made to be fitted open or closed, and the track assembly creates a natural-looking sag for display authenticity.
