1/48 Tamiya 26526 KV-1 Pre-Finished Scale Model  [26526]

Finished 1/48 KV-1 overview — Tamiya 26526 from the 1/48 MM Collection

This is a pre-built 1/48 scale interpretation of the KV-1 heavy tank, supplied as a finished display piece in the 1/48 MM Collection and fitted with a die-cast chassis and factory-applied surface treatments.

The KV-1 entered service in the period leading into the Second World War and was used extensively in the early campaigns on the Eastern Front. It was valued for its robust armor and a 76.2 mm main gun, traits that made it stand out against contemporary enemy vehicles and shaped its role in early combat operations.

According to the producer, the model is delivered with single-color painting and factory weathering already applied. It includes a die-cast chassis to add weight and improve stability, pad-printed markings applied at the factory, and a small display pedestal for presentation. The listed overall length is 141 mm. These points make it suitable for immediate shelf display or as a starting point for additional detailing by modellers.

A compact, finished KV-1 in 1/48 scale intended for collectors and hobbyists who want a high-quality display piece that can also be customised further.
