Trumpeter 07230 Soviet KV-1S Ehkranami: Compact Kit Showing Bolt-On Turret Armour

The Trumpeter 07230 Soviet KV-1S Ehkranami presents the wartime fix of bolting extra plates to the turret to reach around 75mm thickness. This 1:72 scale kit captures that practical modification so modellers can study and display the altered silhouette accurately.

Model history and collector interest

The KV-1S Ehkranami reflects a field-driven upgrade to improve survivability, and the model highlights those visual changes at a manageable scale. It sits well in mixed collections or as a focal point in a small diorama where the bolt-on plates are a clear visual feature.

Parts, fit and final display

Featuring 106 plastic parts on seven sprues, the kit provides a rewarding build for modellers who enjoy fiddly assembly and crisp detail. It does not include metal or resin extras, but the plastic parts are well detailed and allow a realistic finish with the right paints and weathering techniques.

Some modelling experience helps due to the number of small components. Novices can still tackle it by taking time, following instructions and using fine tools.
Use plastic cement or CA glue for quick fixes. Plastic cement gives stronger bonds for stressed joins while superglue is handy for tiny fittings.
Remove mould lines, wash parts to remove release agent, and apply a light primer before colour coats. Careful masking helps preserve the bolt-on plate edges.
