Trumpeter 07234 Russia KV-1 Model 1942 Simplified Turret Tank - Scale Replica

The Trumpeter 07234 KV-1 Model 1942 Simplified Turret Tank gives modellers a compact 1:72 scale study of a key World War II heavy tank. It highlights the thicker armor and wartime production changes that defined later KV-1 variants while remaining approachable for hobby builders.

Why this KV-1 appeals to modellers

The KV-1 was noted for heavy armor, with some sections up to 120 millimetres thick, and the 1942 examples adopted a simplified turret to speed production. This kit recreates those features at scale and lets builders explore construction tradeoffs from the wartime period.

Build size and display notes

The finished model measures 96.8mm long by 46.3mm wide, with a height of 39mm, making it a neat addition to a display case. The kit contains 94 plastic parts across 6 sprues, providing a satisfying assembly and painting process to match Soviet winter camouflage or overall green finishes.
