1/285 KV-1 (1939)

When the Kliment Vorošilov tank first appeared, it was an unpleasant surprise to the Wehrmacht. Although armed with a 76,2-mm main gun and no more powerful than the T-34, the KV-1 was so heavily armoured compared to anything else on the Eastern front that the most powerful gun on German AFVs at the time, the 75-mm cannon, was rendered ineffective. The Wehrmacht responded with the Tiger I, armed with the now-famous 88-mm cannon, although the Tiger could not be delivered for almost a year. While the KV-1 was quickly displaced as the most powerful tank on the battlefield, it served as the prototype for an entire line of Soviet heavy tanks that gave the USSR the edge in land battles for decades.

This model is the 1939 variant of the KV-1, and therefore different from my 1/100 scale model of the KV-1.  This version has the earlier rounded turret and shorter main gun, which it shares with the SMK.

Ordering the small variant will give you a single tank.
Ordering the medium variant will give you two tanks.
Ordering the large variant will give you five tanks.

Too expensive?  Want it in a different colour or slightly larger scale?  I sell this exact same model on my website.
