Hobby Boss 84811 - 1/48 KV-1s Ehkranami Tank Model Kit  [HB-84811]

Hobby Boss 84811 1/48 KV-1s Ehkranami Plastic Tank

The KV-1s Ehkranami represents a wartime fix that added bolt-on plates to strengthen turret protection. This Hobby Boss 84811 kit recreates that practical armour solution in precise 1/48 scale, giving modellers a faithful look at the engineering choices made under combat pressure.

Design Origins and Armour Details

Developed as an evolution of the KV-1 Model 1941, the Ehkranami version addressed weaknesses in turret protection by fitting 25mm bolt-on plates to reach approximately 75mm of frontal turret armour. The kit reflects those structural changes with parts that show how the extra plates were mounted.

Assembly Feel and Display Potential

This 1/48 scale assembly delivers a satisfying build for those who enjoy straightforward plastic modelling. The included details and bolt-on armour elements offer good display value once painted and weathered to match period finishes.
