Tamiya 32535 KV-1 Heavy Tank 1/48 Scale Model Kit  [32535]

Accurate Small-Scale KV-1 from Tamiya

The KV-1 was notable in WWII for its heavy protection and effective armament. Tamiya's 1/48 rendition captures those hallmark elements, such as the 76.2mm main gun and the characteristic square welded turret, making it a faithful small-scale subject for shelves and displays.

War Era Context and Model Fidelity

First fielded in the late 1930s, the KV-1 offered substantial battlefield resilience against the weapons of its day. Even after production changes around 1941, its influence persisted. This kit mirrors the 1940 specification to ensure period-accurate representation.

Build Features and Accessories

The Tamiya 32535 package includes a diecast chassis for added realism and ballast. Tracks are formed as straight single-piece sections for simpler assembly, and three marking sets are included for variety. Consider pairing the kit with the Tamiya 1/48 WWII Russian Infantry and Tank Crew Set to populate a vignette.
