Hobby Master KV-2 Heavy Artillery diecast model tank HG3002 1/72

The Russian KV-2 heavy tank was famous for its enormous size and the gigantic 152mm gun. It was named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. The KV-2, designed as a slow-moving bunker-buster , was built using the same hull and chassis as the KV-1. It was reported that the KV-2 could withstand over forty enemy hits with none penetrating its armor before the use of Flak 18's and 36's by the Germans. However, the KV-2 was a victim of its own design because of its large turret which stood out as an east target for enemy firepower . It was also tremendously heavy and had a high rate of mechanical failure.A total of 334 KV-2s were produced from 1940 to October 1941. The Russian words "For Stalin" were inscribed on this tank's high profile turret.
