Trumpeter 01566 1/35 KV-1S Heavy Tank - Product Brief

The Trumpeter 1/35 Soviet KV-1S Heavy Tank model kit reproduces the silhouette and major details of a prominent World War II Soviet heavy tank. The kit is aimed at modellers wanting a faithful scale representation with scope for detailed finishing work.

Context and Accuracy Notes

The KV-1S was a lighter, more manoeuvrable development of the KV-1 that retained significant armour characteristics. This model reflects the variant's changes, showing correct hull lines and turret adjustments alongside realistic surface detailing.

Parts Quality and Assembly Guidance

High-quality moulding yields defined parts, but expect a number of small components that need careful handling. Test-fitting and careful sanding will help achieve precise joins and a cleaner overall build.

Collecting and Presentation Tips

Assembled, the KV-1S model stands out in a collection for its wartime profile and scale accuracy. It suits displays both as a standalone piece or grouped with other WWII armour to illustrate period formations.
