Tamiya 1:35 Russian Heavy Tank KV-2

In December 1939, the Soviet army formalized the KV-2 as the next-generation flagship heavy tank, incorporating a good deal of modern equipment such as diesel engines and torsion bar suspensions. The KV-2 is a heavy tank for breaking through positions that further enhances the attack power of this KV-1. The body is based on the KV-1, and the main gun is replaced from a 76.2 mm gun to a huge 152 mm howitzer. The turret has become an extremely tall box to ensure internal space. Handing over to the military began in July 1940, and more than 200 vehicles were completed. The KV-2, which struck the German invasion in June 1941, suffered from troubles such as breakdowns due to excessive vehicle weight. Nevertheless, it became an important force during the German invasion.
