Trumpeter 07234 KV-1 Model 1942 Simplified Turret Tank - Compact Heavy Tank Model

The Trumpeter 07234 KV-1 Model 1942 Simplified Turret Tank captures the essence of the late-war KV-1 in a 1:72 scale format. The kit emphasises the thicker armour and simplified turret that helped speed wartime production, presented for the modeller who likes neat, accurate builds.

Model history and construction notes

Known for heavy plating in places up to 120 millimetres, the KV-1's 1942 updates balanced protection with the need for faster output. This kit conveys those changes and gives builders a chance to replicate wartime engineering choices in miniature.

Scale, parts and display guidance

The assembled model measures 96.8mm by 46.3mm with a 39mm height, compact enough for a crowded shelf or small diorama. Containing 94 parts on 6 sprues, the kit rewards tidy assembly, careful masking and paintwork to match either winter camo or a green finish.
