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.
