Rye Field Model 5056 KV-1 Reinforced Cast Turret Tank Model 1942 1/35 – plastic model kit

Rye Field Model 5056 is a high-quality plastic model kit depicting the legendary Soviet heavy tank KV-1 in the version with the reinforced cast turret from 1942. The model is made in the popular 1/35 scale, ensuring perfectly reproduced details and realistic proportions of the historical vehicle.

KV-1 is one of the most famous Soviet heavy tanks of World War II. It owes its name to Marshal Kliment Voroshilov. The Model 1942 is an improved, late version of the vehicle, equipped with a reinforced cast turret, which provided greater resistance to anti-tank shells. KV-1 tanks were extensively used by the Red Army from 1940 until 1944-45, particularly during key engagements on the Eastern Front, such as the Battle of Leningrad and in the fighting at Kursk.
