Hobby Boss 84815 1/48 KV 'Big Turret' Tank Model Kit  [HB-84815]

Hobby Boss 1/48 Scale KV 'Big Turret' Tank Model

The KV 'Big Turret' Tank is noted for its unusual proportions, and this Hobby Boss 84815 1/48 kit brings that character into a manageable size for collectors. The assembly highlights the tank's bulky turret and wartime role without taking up a large shelf footprint.

Service Background and Turret Features

The KV series was created to punch through strong defences, and the 'Big Turret' mount fitted a 152mm M-10 howitzer to overcome the shortcomings of earlier guns. The 1939 KV-2 production run is easy to spot thanks to its seven-sided turret, a design that led to the "Mobile washroom" nickname on the battlefield.

Why Builders Choose This Kit

The kit's parts layout and detail give modelmakers the chance to study construction challenges from the period. Finished builds show off the tank's striking turret and are well suited to small dioramas or standalone display shelves.
