Trumpeter 00356 Russia KV-1 (model 1941) / KV Small Turret Tank in 1/35 scale is a unique plastic model kit that faithfully reproduces the details of the Russian heavy tank from World War II. This model represents an early version of the famous Soviet KV-1 tank with its characteristic small turret, used on vehicles manufactured at the turn of 1941, during a key moment in the fighting on the Eastern Front.

The KV-1 version with the small turret had a huge impact on the course of the first years of the war. Its armor was virtually impenetrable for most German anti-tank weapons of 1941-1942, making the tank one of the most resilient vehicles of the early fighting on the Eastern Front. The Trumpeter model replicates not only the overall shapes perfectly but also unique details such as the grilled engine covers, suspension elements, and details of the turret and armament.

The set includes finely cast plastic parts for segmented tracks, realistic surface textures, and a multi-part turret. All of this allows you to build an impressive, true-to-original model. Thanks to the clear and detailed assembly instructions, the kit is intended for modelers with moderate experience, though perfecting the iconic details of 1/35 scale armored models may still be a challenge.

Trumpeter 00356 KV-1 (model 1941) is dedicated both to collectors of Soviet armored vehicles and to enthusiasts of World War II dioramas. The model is ideal for intermediate modelers who value high build quality and good part fit. Build difficulty: 3/5. We highly recommend this kit if you want to expand your collection of Eastern Front armored vehicles or create a faithfully reproduced historical diorama.
