SOVIET KV "BIG TURRET" TANK

The KV heavy tank was designed and used as heavy break-through tank. To a tank of this task, the shortcomings of its L-11 main gun, which is not good at dealing with enemies’ bunkers and fortifications, could be fatal! So a heavy tank carrying a much bigger gun to better do the job was created along side the 76.2 mm gun tanks. The first of this type uses a new big high turret of 7 sides that mounting the 152mm M-10 howitzer. This version, which had many detail differences to the later standard type was usually dubbed KV ‘Big Turret’ or KV-2 Model 1939. As such a big turret on the usual KV hull proved to be very un-maneuverable it soon earned a funny nickname of “Mobile washroom”! _x000D_ Item No 07236_x000D_ Item Name Soviet KV “Big turret” tank_x000D_ Bar Code 9580208072364_x000D_ Scale 1:72_x000D_ Item Type Static Armor_x000D_ Model Brief Length: 97mm Width: 46.3mm Height: 48.4mm_x000D_ Total Parts 82pcs_x000D_ Total Sprues 6pcs sprues, lower hull_x000D_ Paint Schemes n/a_x000D_ Rele
