Aber 35212 German heavy tank Pz.Kpfw. 754(r) KV-2 - vol.1 - basic set (1/35)

The Aber 35212 set is an advanced photo-etched parts kit dedicated to the German heavy tank Pz.Kpfw. 754(r), based on the captured Soviet KV-2, prepared in the well-known and popular 1/35 scale. This product is an exceptional offering for modelers who wish to replicate every conceivable detail of a historical vehicle seized by the Wehrmacht during World War II.

The designation Pz.Kpfw. 754(r) refers to Soviet heavy KV-2 tanks captured by the Germans—“(r)” stands for “russisch” (Russian). The KV-2s became highly coveted after German successes in 1941, with several incorporated into the German army and used on the Eastern Front, mainly between 1941 and 1943, primarily as fire support vehicles and in combat tests.

The Aber 35212 is a basic set dedicated for the plastic model KV-2/Pz.Kpfw. 754(r) from renowned manufacturers (e.g., Trumpeter, Zvezda, or Tamiya): it offers top-quality, thin elements made from photo-etched stainless steel, allowing for highly accurate replication of details which are impossible to achieve with standard kits. Among its contents are, for example: visor covers, handles, air intake grills, crew tool details, hatch locks, and armor components.

This product dramatically raises the realism of the completed model, especially in the area of the superstructure and turret details—something highly valued by advanced modelers and enthusiasts of WWII armored vehicles. However, the use of photo-etched parts requires basic skills working with this type of accessory—the assembly is rated at 3/5 difficulty.
