Tamiya 35375 - 1/35 KV-2 Heavy Tank Special Edition Kit  [35375]

Scale Model: Tamiya 35375 1/35 KV-2 Heavy Tank

The Tamiya 35375 captures the distinctive KV-2 heavy tank in 1/35 scale, with careful attention to the tall turret and rough cast surfaces. This kit is suited to hobbyists who value faithful detail and a hands-on build experience.

The KV-2 on the Battlefield

Introduced in December 1939, the KV-2 was built on the KV-1 chassis but fitted with a larger 152mm howitzer for stronger anti-fortification performance. Only about two hundred were made, yet the KV-2 proved influential during early World War II operations.

Precision Moulding and Options

Tamiya's moulding reproduces turret texture and weld lines accurately, and the kit provides options to assemble hatches in different positions. These choices let modellers tailor the finished piece to a particular historical reference or display idea.

Collecting and Display Considerations

The finished KV-2 makes a bold display model due to its unusual silhouette and textured surfaces. It sits well in mixed collections or as a focal point in a Soviet armour grouping, and the included figures add narrative potential.
