The tank was introduced into production in the autumn of 1943, and its main innovation was a rotating turret with a powerful D-5T 85 mm cannon, the same as in the early IS-1 versions. Only 143 units were produced in total, mainly due to the rapid development of newer, more advanced tanks from the IS family. The KV-85 replaced earlier KV versions in Soviet heavy regiments as a transitional unit. It took part in battles in the late stage of World War II, including fierce fighting on the Eastern Front, particularly during the winter offensive of 1943\/1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eAdvantages of the PST 72008 KV-85 model:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003ePrecise details in accordance with the original vehicle's blueprints\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eLow-profile panel lines, realistic armor appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eThe model is perfect for World War II historical dioramas\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eGreat choice for both beginners and intermediate modelers (difficulty level: 2\/5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eDecals allow you to create models representing various Soviet armored units\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho do we recommend it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003ePST 72008 KV-85 Heavy Tank 1\/72 is the ideal choice for World War II military enthusiasts, collectors of Soviet armored vehicles, and those beginning their adventure with 1:72 scale modeling.
