PST 72016 KV-1E Heavy Tank 1/72 – Plastic Model Kit

The PST 72016 KV-1E Heavy Tank model in 1:72 scale is an excellent option for modelers interested in historical armored vehicles from the Second World War. This kit allows you to recreate one of the most recognizable Soviet heavy tanks – the KV-1E, which stood out for its increased armor, designed in response to the growing effectiveness of German anti-tank weaponry during battles on the Eastern Front.

The presented model has been rendered with great precision by PST – a highly regarded manufacturer of small scale armored models. The KV-1E was a distinctive version of the earlier KV-1A model, in which, in July 1941, the mounting of additional armor plates on the hull and turret began. This unique solution improved resistance to fire and made the KV-1E a true giant of the Eastern Front. Production of this version amounted to just over 200 units; the vehicles were actively involved mainly in the battles for the besieged Leningrad, becoming a symbol of Soviet defense in that region.

The PST 72016 KV-1E Heavy Tank plastic model kit is made of high-quality material, enabling precise rendering of construction details, characteristic welds, rivets, and extra armor. The set includes sprues, decals for historic markings, as well as a clear assembly instruction. The kit does not contain glue or paints – we recommend selecting model accessories separately to achieve the highest level of realism.
