Plastic model kit of a Soviet WWII tank with 150 parts. Length built 96 mm. According to the results of combat tests of the KV tank during the Finnish War in 1940, the Military Council of the North-Western Front decided to equip the vehicle with a 152 mm howitzer. The troops needed the tank to destroy the defenses of the Manergheim Line. Already in February, three KVs with the "large" MT-1 turret, manufactured at the Leningrad Kirov Plant (LKZ), arrived at the front, where they received positive reviews from the military. In August-September 1940, the "large lowered" turret of lightweight construction was manufactured at the LKZ. From autumn 1940 to June 1941, 180 tanks of this type were assembled at the LKZ. This is the KV-2 tank of 1941, which this model recreates. Almost all KV-2s went into heavy battles of 1941, but at least one tank of the Leningrad Front managed to fight at the "Nevsky Pitachok" in the winter of 1941 and then took part in the Krasnoborskaya offensive of 1943, where it had a chance to meet German "Tigers".
