Hobby Boss 84810 KV-1 Model 1941 'KV Small Turret' Tank - Modellers Summary

The Hobby Boss 84810 1/48 scale KV-1 Model 1941, known as the 'KV Small Turret', lets modellers study an early Soviet heavy tank form. The KV-1 design took first place in a 1939 heavy tank competition and was produced by the Kirov plant. This kit mirrors the early production configuration fitted with the L-11 76.2 mm gun.

Context and Battlefield Role

The KV-1 stood out in WWII for its thick armour and solid firepower. Early mounts used the L-11, later replaced on many machines by the F-32 76.2 mm gun, which improved overall performance. This kit captures the transitional phase of the KV series that interested historians value.

Modelling Notes and Presentation

At 1/48 scale the model offers crisp detail without demanding an oversized workspace. The small turret is faithfully recreated and the finished model makes a neat addition to any WWII collection or display shelf.
