Hobby Boss 84816 1/48 Scale KV-2 Russian Tank Kit  [HB-84816]

Overview of the Hobby Boss 1/48 KV-2 Tank Model

The Hobby Boss 1/48 representation of the Russian KV-2 recreates the tank's bulky silhouette and distinctive turret in compact form. This kit highlights the vehicle known for its large howitzer turret and delivers a focused build that appeals to hobbyists interested in mid 20th century armour.

War Era Background and Authenticity

Built to reflect the KV-2's role in early World War II, the real vehicle carried a 152mm howitzer inside a large, boxy turret that dominated its profile. That design gave the KV-2 formidable firepower but also led to challenges with mobility and turret handling in rough ground, details that the model aims to represent faithfully.

Assembly Interest and Display Potential

This Hobby Boss kit provides well defined components that let builders reproduce the KV-2's complex layout. At 1/48 scale the finished model fits with other similar builds for shelf display or diorama work, making it a solid choice for collectors who want a striking centrepiece or to expand a Soviet vehicle lineup.
