Trumpeter 05553 1/35 KV-220 Russian Tiger Super Heavy Tank Model

The Trumpeter 05553 1/35 KV-220 Russian Tiger Super Heavy Tank model presents a faithful scale study of a rare Soviet prototype. Sculpted to reflect the tank's heavy armor and distinctive form, the kit is a good match for modellers interested in period vehicles and prototype variations.

Prototype background and modeller appeal

Designed as a super heavy breakthrough vehicle, the KV-220 demonstrates Soviet experimentation with extreme armour in the early 1940s. Its limited development makes it an attractive subject for modellers who enjoy researching variants and building historically informed displays. The kit captures the basic engineering intent and external features of the vehicle.

Construction tips and display potential

The 1/35 scale provides room for refined detailing but requires care during assembly. Accurate alignment of tracks and turret parts is important for a scaled appearance. Completed builds work well on base dioramas or as part of a collection focused on WWII armour.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Detailed parts for realistic assembly
Intermediate to experienced modellers will get the most from this kit due to the number of small parts and fitting needs.
The kit is detailed out of the box, but advanced builders sometimes add brass or resin upgrades for finer details like grab handles or textured surfaces.
Start with a neutral primer, then use layered painting and gentle weathering to reveal panel joins and casting texture without losing detail.
