Hobby Boss 84818 German Pz.Kpfw KV-1 756(r) Tank Kit Overview

The Hobby Boss 1:48 kit recreates the German-modified KV-1 756(r) with solid period detail and accurate proportions. This model reflects the changes made to captured Soviet KV-1s, presenting the tougher armor layout and altered fittings seen after German refit.

Background and Authentic Detail

The KV-1 was notable for its heavy armor, with turret plating around 75mm in critical areas. German conversions fitted a 75mm L/43 main gun and a German-style command cupola, and this kit depicts those historical alterations. Finish choices include deep sand yellow or the tri-color camouflage seen in service.

Build Process and Display Appeal

Model builders who focus on historical accuracy will appreciate the parts breakdown and surface detail. Assembly calls for patience on small components and careful painting to reproduce camouflage, but the completed model makes a strong display in any military collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:48
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Paint: Required for camo and detailing
  • Assembly: Glue required
Use model acrylics or enamels formulated for plastics; deep sand yellow is a base option and tri-color schemes can be layered with masks or freehand techniques for authentic results.
This kit leans toward intermediate to advanced modellers due to small parts and detailed painting requirements, so newcomers should expect a learning curve.
Basic modelling tools like fine cutters, sanding sticks, precision glue, tweezers and a good brush or airbrush will make assembly and finishing much easier.
