Tamiya 35375 - 1/35 KV-2 Heavy Tank Kit for Modelers  [35375]

Tamiya 35375 - 1/35 KV-2 Heavy Tank, a Detailed Scale Re-creation

The Tamiya 35375 kit recreates the Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 in 1/35 scale, offering precise plastic parts that capture the tank's massive turret and distinctive silhouette. This kit is aimed at modellers who appreciate historical accuracy and fine surface textures that reflect the vehicle's wartime appearance.

Why the KV-2 Was Notable

Introduced in December 1939, the KV-2 used the KV-1 chassis with a much larger turret to carry a 152mm howitzer. Production was limited to roughly two hundred machines, yet the KV-2 became well known for its ability to assault fortified positions during the early stages of World War II.

Kit Highlights and Build Options

This 1/35 scale release from Tamiya includes finely moulded components that reproduce the turret's rough-cast texture and visible weld seams. Builders can choose to assemble several hatches open or closed, giving options for diorama scenes or display variants.

Display Potential and Collection Fit

When finished, the model presents an accurate silhouette and texture that make it a strong centrepiece in any armour collection. It works well beside other Soviet vehicles or as a standalone display, and the included crew figures help bring the scene to life.
