Historical description: The Soviet heavy tank KV-2 was developed at the end of 1939 as a response to the need for a breakthrough tank capable of assaulting fortifications. It was equipped with a powerful 152 mm gun mounted in a characteristic tall turret. From 1940 onwards, it was intensively used by the Red Army, but during Operation Barbarossa, many of these vehicles fell into German hands—often due to technical failures or lack of fuel. The Wehrmacht used the captured KV-2s as Pz.Kpfw. 754(r), employing them both with minimal changes and sometimes with an additional commander’s cupola. They were used most intensively between June and the end of 1942, mainly on the Eastern Front.

Model features: The PST 72037 kit allows you to reproduce this armored colossus in German service, offering accurate surface details, tracks, turret, and specific German modifications. The model does not include glue or paints—these components must be purchased separately. All parts are made from high-quality plastic, which is easy to work with and paint. This is an excellent choice for modelers interested in Wehrmacht captured vehicles and unusual Eastern Front military hardware.

It is perfect for dioramas, individual displays, or recreating specific episodes of World War II. The PST brand guarantees high detail quality and precise fit of the parts, making assembly a real pleasure for every historical model enthusiast.
