Historical Information

The KV-122 was an experimental modernization of the well-known KV-1 heavy tank. It was equipped with a powerful 122 mm gun and a modified turret, which was a further development of the solution used on the IS-2 tank. Prototypes of the vehicle were built in 1944 in response to the growing need to counter German Tiger and Panther tanks and surpassed their predecessors in firepower. As a prototype, the KV-122 was used for crew training but never proceeded beyond the experimental stage—however, its legacy contributed to the development of post-war Soviet designs. Trumpeter's model allows you to recreate the silhouette of this unique machine, presenting its characteristic, massive chassis and intricately detailed turret.
