Hobby Boss 84815 1/48 KV 'Big Turret' Tank Scale Kit  [HB-84815]

Hobby Boss 1/48 KV 'Big Turret' Tank Scale Replica

The Russian KV 'Big Turret' Tank made a heavy impression on the front lines, and this Hobby Boss 84815 1/48 model captures its bulk and silhouette for dedicated builders. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who want a faithful small-scale study of an unusual World War II heavy tank.

Origins and Turret Layout

The KV heavy family was developed as a breakthrough series capable of tackling fortified positions. The 'Big Turret' variant carried a 152mm M-10 howitzer to address the earlier L-11 gun's limitations. The 1939 production run, commonly called the KV-2, is recognised by its seven-sided turret and the awkward profile that earned it the nickname "Mobile washroom".

Build Interest and Presentation

This Hobby Boss kit provides finely moulded components that let builders explore the machine's structural peculiarities. Once assembled and painted, the model makes a compact and interesting display piece that highlights the KV's distinctive turret and heavy silhouette.
