Trumpeter 07236 KV Big Turret Variant 1:72 Scale Kit

This 1:72 plastic model accurately depicts the Soviet KV heavy tank outfitted with the oversized seven-sided "Big Turret" (Model 1939), presented as a compact subject for display and modelling study.

Conceived to overcome hardened defensive positions, the KV-2 carried a 152 mm M-10 howitzer inside its large turret to deliver powerful high-explosive strikes on bunkers and emplacements. While potent in firepower, the enormous turret raised the vehicle's profile and hindered manoeuvrability during early Second World War actions.

The model recreates the turret's high profile and the relatively compact hull proportions at 1:72, with the separate turret and hull forms aiding staged painting and weathering. Builders should check turret-hull junctions and align roadwheels and tracks carefully to preserve the intended stance. Studying contemporary photographs will improve believability when applying paint wear, chipping, and grime.

A compact representation of the KV Big Turret variant that captures the distinctive high silhouette, ideal for small display bases or focused reference collections.
