Tamiya 32535 1/48 KV-1 Heavy Tank Kit - Collector Scale  [32535]

Detailed 1/48 Scale Tamiya KV-1 for Modelers

The Russian KV-1 heavy tank earned a reputation in WWII for its thick armour and punchy armament. This 1/48 scale kit from Tamiya reproduces the tank's defining traits, including the 76.2mm main gun and the square welded turret, giving modellers an authentic small-scale representation for display or diorama use.

Period Accuracy and Battlefield Presence

The KV-1 entered service in the late 1930s and was noted for its heavy protection against period anti-tank weapons. Although production changed after 1941, the KV-1 remained in frontline and support roles through much of the war. This release reflects the 1940 configuration to complement historical collections.

Construction Details and Customise Options

The Tamiya 32535 kit includes a diecast chassis to add weight and a realistic feel. Tracks are supplied as straight, single-piece components for straightforward assembly. Three decal sets let builders represent different field markings, and the kit pairs well with the Tamiya 1/48 WWII Russian Infantry and Tank Crew Set for action scenes.
