Trumpeter 07236 1:72 KV Big Turret Scale Model  [TP07236]

Trumpeter 07236 1:72 KV Big Turret Tracked Tank Model

This 1:72 scale plastic kit presents the Soviet KV heavy tank fitted with the large seven-sided "Big Turret" (Model 1939), offered as a compact model that reproduces the vehicle's characteristic high turret massing.

The KV-2 concept aimed to provide heavy high-explosive capability to suppress fortified positions that outgunned standard KV models. Its signature feature was the oversized turret housing the 152 mm M-10 howitzer, designed to defeat bunkers and field fortifications. That large turret produced a pronounced silhouette and compromised mobility in early World War II operations.

The kit renders the tall turret and compact hull at 1:72 with separate turret and hull components to assist staged painting and weathering. Builders should focus on turret-seat seams and precise track and roadwheel positioning to retain the intended hull attitude. Reference imagery from early-war KV-2s will guide authentic chipping, grime, and rust patterns.

A concise 1:72 depiction of the KV Big Turret variant that underscores the tall turret profile, suitable for compact displays and focused collections.
