Trumpeter 01561 Detailed 1:35 KV-1M1939 Overview

The Trumpeter 01561 1/35 Scale KV-1M1939 Model Kit recreates an early model KV-1 with parts crafted for realistic surface detail. The kit highlights the tank's heavy profile and offers model builders the parts needed for an authentic finish.

Design History and Kit Highlights

Introduced in 1939 and named after Kliment Voroshilov, the KV-1 brought increased protection to Soviet armoured forces. This kit models the early L-11 gun configuration, with later historical upgrades such as the F-32 noted in references. The 1:35 scale provides room for fine detailing while remaining a practical bench project.

Build Experience and Presentation Notes

With 249 plastic parts and one photo-etched component, the build is rewarding for modelers who enjoy precision assembly and paintwork. The completed model presents well on a shelf or as part of a larger World War II collection.

Build time varies by skill and finishing: expect several evenings for assembly plus additional time for painting and weathering to reach display standard.
Track type depends on the kit's sprue design; this kit uses assembled plastic track sections that are suitable for static display and some posing during assembly.
Use washes to bring out panel lines and subtle dry-brushing to highlight edges; mud and dust pigments help convey operational use on a diorama base.
The single photo-etched piece improves a small area of detail but is optional; it does add a crisp, realistic finish when fitted carefully with CA glue.
Yes, many builders swap in metal barrels or extra etch for finer details; check fit and drilling points before installing to avoid damaging original parts.
