Trumpeter 05553 KV-220 1/35 Super Heavy Tank Scale Kit  [TP05553]

Trumpeter 05553 1/35 KV-220 Soviet Super Heavy Tank Scale Model

This Trumpeter 05553 1/35 KV-220 Russian Tiger Super Heavy Tank model kit gives scale modellers a close look at an unusual WWII prototype. The kit recreates the heavy armor silhouette and distinctive lines of the KV-220, a one-off Soviet design from the early 1940s that never reached mass production.

Origins and modelling interest

The KV-220 was conceived as a super heavy response to battlefield threats, prioritising armor protection. Its prototype status makes it a compelling subject for historians and builders who enjoy researching paint schemes and field modifications. The Trumpeter kit reflects that heritage through carefully moulded components and part layout.

Assembly and display notes

At 1/35 scale this kit rewards careful assembly and painting. Builders should expect detailed sprues and a need for patient fitting to achieve realistic gaps and panel lines. The finished model makes an impactful display piece that highlights the tank's bulk and profile.
