The upgrade set Panzer Art RE35-146 Fuel drums for Soviet KW-1/2 tanks (Early Pattern) in 1/35 scale is an excellent choice for demanding modelers seeking high-quality reproduction and authenticity of details for their dioramas and armored vehicle models. This product is designed to faithfully represent early pattern fuel drums used on Soviet KW-1 and KW-2 tanks during World War II.

The set includes highly precise fuel drums cast from resin, featuring extraordinary detail that significantly exceeds the standard plastic elements available in basic kits. Carefully selected resin allows for the replication of even the smallest features—such as joints, closures, or delicate embossing present on the original Soviet transport drums.
