Tamiya 26526 1/48 KV-1 Finished Display Model  [26526]

Tamiya 26526 - 1/48 KV-1 ready-finished model from the 1/48 MM Collection

This finished 1/48 scale representation of the KV-1 heavy tank is offered as a pre-built display item in the 1/48 MM Collection, equipped with a die-cast chassis and factory-applied finishes.

The KV-1 was a Soviet heavy tank introduced before and used during the early years of the Second World War. Recognised for thick armor and a 76.2 mm main gun, it served largely on the Eastern Front where its protection and weight challenged contemporary German medium tanks. The design prioritized armor and survivability rather than speed, giving it a distinctive tactical role in early wartime engagements.

Producer notes describe a finished paint job with single-color painting and factory weathering applied. The miniature includes a die-cast chassis for added weight and stability, pad-printed markings applied at the factory rather than separate decals, and a small display pedestal for presentation. An overall length is listed as 141 mm. These features make the piece ready for immediate display or a practical starting point for experienced modelers who wish to add extra detailing.

A display-oriented 1/48 KV-1 finished model that offers convenience for collectors and a solid base for hobbyists aiming to enhance detail work.
