Trumpeter 05553 1/35 KV-220 Historical Super Heavy Tank Model

The Trumpeter 05553 1/35 KV-220 Russian Tiger Super Heavy Tank model kit recreates a notable Soviet prototype with attention to exterior form. The model reflects the tank's heavy armor concept and provides a platform for accurate finishing and detailing.

Historical notes and modelling interest

Developed during an era of heavy armour experimentation, the KV-220 remained a prototype and saw very limited development. Its rarity makes it appealing to modellers and historians who specialise in prototype and limited-run vehicles.

Assembly considerations and final presentation

Expect a detailed build process that rewards careful preparation and painting. Proper seam treatment and subtle weathering will enhance the model's realism. The final assembly presents an imposing subject suited to museum-style displays or battlefield dioramas.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Detailed parts for realistic assembly

How long does the average build take?

Build time varies with experience and chosen level of finishing, but expect several evenings to a few weekends for a well finished model.

Are decals included and are they accurate?

Decals depend on the kit box contents; if included they represent typical markings, but some builders prefer aftermarket decals for specialised markings.

What storage or handling advice helps preserve the finish?

Keep the finished model out of direct sunlight and handle by the base or lower hull to avoid stress on delicate parts. A dust cover or display cabinet will protect paint and weathering work.
