Hobby Boss 84815 1/48 KV 'Big Turret' Armoured Model  [HB-84815]

Hobby Boss 1/48 KV 'Big Turret' Tank Assembly Model

The KV 'Big Turret' Tank stands out for its hefty profile, and this Hobby Boss 84815 kit reproduces that presence at 1/48 scale. The model is aimed at hobbyists who appreciate compact but characterful military subjects.

Development and Gun Fitment

Designed as a heavy breakthrough vehicle, the KV family included the 'Big Turret' to mount a 152mm M-10 howitzer, addressing the limited punch of the L-11. The late 1939 KV-2 builds are recognised by the seven-sided turret that led crews to dub it the "Mobile washroom".

Construction Notes and Display Impact

Parts in this kit let builders recreate the turret bulk and hull form with attention to period detail. When finished, the model reads well on a shelf or as part of a small vignette, highlighting the unusual turret geometry.
