Voyager Model PE35069 KV1 / KV2 Fenders PE Update 1/35

Voyager Model PE35069 is an advanced photo-etched fender detail set designed for Soviet heavy tank models KV-1 and KV-2 in 1/35 scale. This set offers precise photo-etched components that allow for advanced upgrades and faithful reproduction of fender details, in line with the real units used during World War II.

Historical background – KV-1 and KV-2 tanks

The KV series of heavy tanks (from the Russian “Kirovets-Voroshilov”) were used by the Red Army during World War II, particularly from 1939 to 1943. The KV-1 and its turreted version, the KV-2, featured formidable armor and became icons of the early years of conflict on the Eastern Front. The first encounters of German troops with these vehicles at the onset of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 caused surprise due to their exceptionally difficult-to-penetrate armored protection.

This set enhances models of these machines with details essential for maintaining realism and an accurate appearance in historical recreations, especially the fenders, which in model kits are often simplified or susceptible to damage during assembly and painting.
