1/100 KV-85

One of the rarest tanks of World War II, the KV-85 was introduced as a stop-gap measure in 1943 to combat heavy German vehicles such as the Tiger I and Ferdinand/Elefant, using the same main weapon as the SU-85 tank destroyer.  A functionally identical tank, the T-150, had already been built, but the prototype was destroyed while defending Leningrad.  The intent behind the KV-85 was to overhaul the KV tank series, and the first 200 consisted of a totally redesigned turret slapped on a modified KV-1S chassis, with the later production model having a different hull and tracks.  However, Kliment Vorošilov fell from political favour in the same year, resulting in this particular tank to be last bearing his name.  Its successor, using the same turret but a different hull, was called the IS-1, after Stalin himself.
