Tamiya 35372 1/35 Russian KV-1 Heavy Tank Early 1941 Model Kit - Scale Armour for Dioramas  [35372]

Iconic Soviet Tank, Recreated in 1/35 Scale

The KV-1 entered service around 1939 and earned a reputation for heavy armour during World War II. The early 1941 variant carried the 76.2mm ZIS-5 gun and used a welded turret design with armor up to 75mm, giving it strong defensive capability in the battles after June 1941.

Historical Notes and Diorama Elements

German units sometimes used rudimentary wooden and paper KV-1 silhouettes to aid unit recognition. Reflecting that history, the Tamiya kit includes a small replica suitable for dioramas, allowing builders to depict identification drills or forward-area scenes with period detail.
