This kit faithfully replicates one of the prototypes of the Kliment Voroshilov tank – the KV-2, also known as the "Big Turret" due to its characteristic massive artillery turret, capable of mounting large-caliber armament.

Historical Information

The "Big Turret" model (commonly identified as the KV-2) entered service in the years 1940–1942.
