The Hobby Boss 84819 German Pz.Kpfw KV-2 754 (1/48) model is a unique offering for World War II history enthusiasts and modelers looking for uncommon subjects. It depicts the German version of the captured Soviet heavy tank KV-2, designated by the Wehrmacht as Pz.Kpfw KV-2 754(r). The model is made in the popular 1/48 scale, which allows for good detail while keeping the final model at a moderate size.

Historical information

The Soviet KV-2 tank, originally produced by the USSR, was one of the heaviest combat vehicles at the beginning of World War II, characterized by a massive turret and powerful armament – a 152 mm gun. During the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, some KV-2 tanks were captured by the Wehrmacht, which put them into service and designated them as Pz.Kpfw KV-2 754(r). These vehicles were used by German units mainly on the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1943, until they were worn out or destroyed, most often employed as support vehicles or in combat against Soviet fortifications.
