Trumpeter 07231 KV-1 1942 Heavy Cast Turret Tank Model Kit  [TP07231]

Trumpeter 07231 KV-1 1942 heavy cast turret scale replica

The Trumpeter 07231 kit captures a precise miniature of the 1942 Russian KV-1 fitted with the heavy cast turret. The text reflects the tank's dense armor profile, which reached up to 95 mm in places, and notes the fitted ZIS-5 76.2 mm main gun that defined its battlefield role.

Role on the Second World War Front

The KV-1 became well known during World War II for combining heavy protection with effective firepower. The 1942 cast turret variant represented a shift toward stronger defensive profiles, and this kit aims to replicate that detail for historians and diorama builders.
