The KV-1's Bigger Brother
In December 1939 the KV-1 was officially adopted by the Soviet military;
it was followed by the KV-2,
a heavier design based upon the KV-1 chassis, but upgunned to a 152mm
howitzer with the intention of breaking enemy strongholds;
in order to accomodate the larger gun, the KV-2 was given a remarkably
tall turret.
Around two hundred were produced, and supply to the military began in
July 1940.
The following June, Nazi Germany invaded and the KV-2 - while suffering a
number of breakdowns - took part in Soviet resistance against the
invaders,
their 152mm guns and impressive survivability enabling some amazing
feats, helping stem the tide.

Packaging
This model captures the mammoth KV-2 form in style, from the tall, boxy turret to realistic surface textures and detailing.
A marking option is included to recreate a KV-2 captured by the German Wehrmacht and given a winter camouflage makeover.
This image shows the massive 152mm gun, which includes rifling detail in the muzzle section for that extra layer of realism.
