Early KV-1 Heavy Tank Kit - Trumpeter 01561 1/35 Scale KV-1M1939 Model Kit  [TP01561]

Trumpeter 01561 KV-1M1939 Kit Overview for Model Builders

The Trumpeter 01561 1/35 Scale KV-1M1939 Model Kit gives hobbyists the chance to reconstruct an early Soviet heavy tank with attention to historical shape and armor layout. Favoured for its heavy armor and wartime role, the KV-1 is rendered here with parts that capture the vehicle's distinctive silhouette and structural details.

Origins and Key Model Details

Named after Kliment Voroshilov, the KV-1 was a major step in heavy tank design when introduced in 1939. This kit represents the early hull fitted with the L-11 76.2 mm gun that was later superseded in some vehicles by the F-32. At 1:35 scale the model balances display presence with manageable bench build size.

Assembly Notes and Display Potential

Containing 249 plastic components, this assembly offers intermediate to advanced builders a detailed project with rewarding finishes. A single photo-etched part is included to boost fidelity in fine areas, and once completed the model is well suited to tabletop displays or squadron collections of World War II armour.
