Russian KV -1 Model 1942 Lightweight Cast Tank

Description

Product Description: The model of the Russian KV-1 tank, Model 1942 Lightweight Cast, reference 84814, offers a meticulous reproduction of this iconic World War II tank. Designed as a heavy breakthrough tank, the KV-1 Model 1942 was adapted to overcome the shortcomings of its L-11 main gun, which struggled against enemy bunkers and fortifications. In response, a version of the heavy tank was created with a larger turret, featuring the powerful 152mm M-10 howitzer, often nicknamed KV 'Big Turret' or KV-2 Model 1939. However, due to the bulkiness of this large turret on the standard KV hull, the tank quickly earned the amusing nickname of "Mobile washroom" due to its limited maneuverability.
