Tamiya 35375 - 1/35 Russian KV-2 Heavy Tank Model Kit  [35375]

Tamiya 35375 1/35 KV-2 - Accurate Heavy Tank Model

The Tamiya 35375 model kit recreates the Soviet KV-2 heavy tank at 1/35 scale, emphasising the tall, boxy turret and rugged surface finish. It is intended for modellers who prioritise scale accuracy and historically minded detailing.

Significance of the KV-2

Entering service in December 1939, the KV-2 combined the KV-1 chassis with a much larger 152mm howitzer to tackle fortified targets. Production numbered roughly two hundred, yet the design made a lasting impression during early World War II actions.

Detailing and Assembly Choices

Tamiya has modelled the turret's coarse cast texture and weld seams with fine moulding techniques. The kit permits different hatch arrangements and includes parts that let builders configure the vehicle to match various period photos.

Suitability for Collections

Once assembled and painted, the KV-2 model presents a convincing wartime presence. It suits display cabinets, museum-style layouts or battlefield dioramas, and the included crew figures help convey scale and activity.
