Trumpeter 05553 KV-220 Russian Tiger Super Heavy Tank 1/35

The Trumpeter 05553 KV-220 Russian Tiger Super Heavy Tank plastic model kit in 1:35 scale is the perfect choice for advanced modelers seeking a unique project from World War II. The model replicates the Soviet super-heavy tank KV-220, which was a prototype developed in early 1941 as the Soviet Union's response to the need to modernize its armored forces. The KV-220 was based on the KV series tanks, but in contrast, it featured an extended hull, stronger armor (up to 100 mm), and a new turret with an 85 mm cannon. The prototype was powered by a V-2SN engine with 850 hp, which, despite weighing over 62 tons, was intended to provide satisfactory mobility.

The KV-220 tank was built in only one exemplar and was extensively tested in the second half of 1941 during the defense of Leningrad, where it served as a command tank. Ultimately, it never entered serial production due to technical problems and complex maintenance. This vehicle gained legendary status in armored warfare, symbolizing Soviet experiments with heavy combat vehicles, making it a unique addition to any armored history enthusiast’s collection.
