Trumpeter 01566 Soviet KV-1S Heavy Tank (1/35) – plastic model kit

Trumpeter 01566 Soviet KV-1S Heavy Tank in 1:35 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit intended for modellers with intermediate and advanced skills. The model represents the Soviet KV-1S heavy tank, which was at the forefront of USSR armoured forces during World War II. The KV-1S (meaning "Skoryj", or "fast") was an improved version of the original KV-1, featuring lighter armour and a new, enhanced turret, which translated into increased mobility and maneuverability for the vehicle.

The KV-1S tank distinguished itself on the Eastern Front, where it was deployed in some of the largest battles, including the Battle of Kursk – one of the most important armoured operations of the conflict. It was recognized for its lighter weight compared to the base KV-1, which improved its battlefield performance.
