Hobby Boss 84816 KV-2 1/48 Scale Military Model Kit  [HB-84816]

Hobby Boss 1/48 KV-2 Model Summary

The Hobby Boss 1/48 scale KV-2 kit captures the tank's iconic boxy turret and hefty stance for modellers interested in Soviet armour. It reproduces the key visual traits of the original vehicle while remaining manageable in a small display footprint.

Operational Role and Design Notes

Historically the KV-2 was fielded to deliver heavy artillery support, mounting a 152mm howitzer in a prominent turret that stood out on the battlefield. That same turret made the tank powerful against fortifications but affected mobility and turret rotation under difficult terrain conditions, elements reflected in the model's shape.

Build Experience and Display Uses

The kit includes detailed plastic parts that allow careful assembly and painting to bring out the KV-2's character. At 1/48 scale the finished piece works well on a display shelf or in a small diorama, offering both standalone impact and compatibility with other 1/48 vehicles.
