Trumpeter 07233 KV-1 M1942 Lightweight Cast Tank Summary

The KV-1 M1942 is historically significant for its heavy armour and service role in World War II. This Trumpeter 07233 1:72 kit reproduces the distinct silhouette and turret details, appealing to wartime armour enthusiasts.

Background and Key Visual Features

The KV-1s were famed for protective plating that increased vehicle mass to around 47 tons, while the unchanged power unit limited speeds to about 28 km/h. The lightweight cast turret was adopted to help with production and operational constraints and can be spotted by the prominent cast ring near the rear machine gun position.

Scale Modelling Notes

With 94 plastic components across seven sprues, the model balances small-scale manageability with fine surface detail. The assembled piece presents well on limited display space and integrates smoothly into WWII collections.
