Historic Scale Replica: Tamiya 56027 KV-1

The Tamiya 56027 1/16 RC Russian Heavy Tank KV-1 appeals to modellers who enjoy accurate military replicas. This full-option kit recreates the wartime KV-1, famous for heavy armor and the wartime nickname "Monster".

Authentic Styling and Components

The model mirrors the KV-1s angular turret and welded bodywork, and includes small details like tow cables and toolboxes for a period correct finish. Metal reinforcements in the chassis improve long term strength, while the torsion bar suspension gives convincing movement across rough ground.

Recoil, Lighting and Radio Control

The KV-1 model provides simulated barrel and hull recoil during firing sequences and a muzzle flash for the front machine gun. The 4-channel control lets you switch lights and manage other functions for realistic running displays.

This KV-1 kit suits scale modellers and experienced RC hobbyists who want a solid, historically faithful model with operational effects.

Yes, the model uses pre-assembled resin tracks so track fitting is simplified, though final tensioning and alignment will still need care.
Regular inspection of screws and a light application of lubricant to moving joints will keep the metal chassis performing well and reduce wear.
Hobbyists commonly replace motors, batteries or radios to change performance. Check component sizes and connectors before buying upgrades.
