History of the original: The KV-1 was one of the most important tanks of the Red Army in the early phase of World War II. It takes its name from Marshal Kliment Voroshilov. The 1942 Model version was a modernization of earlier variants, introducing a simplified turret and side skirts to streamline mass production and increase the vehicle’s resistance to anti-tank rounds. KV-1 Model 1942 tanks were widely used on the Eastern Front, especially in the battles of Moscow, Leningrad, and Kursk (1941-1943).
