Historical model – KV-8S tank in 1/35 scale

The Soviet KV-8S was a special version of the KV-1 (Kliment Voroshilov) heavy tank, created in response to German tanks and the need for incendiary fire support. This model was equipped with the ATO-41 flamethrower mounted next to a 45 mm cannon, making it a dangerous weapon during urban and positional combat.
