Historical Information and Context of Use

The KV-1 heavy tank was an icon of the Soviet armored forces in the early phase of World War II. Its E version, the KV-1E (Ekranirovanny, or 'up-armored'), featured additional armor intended to improve protection against anti-tank projectiles. These vehicles stood out particularly during defensive battles in 1941, including the Battle of Moscow and the fighting at the Kursk Salient. They served in the Soviet Army from 1941 to 1943. The decals allow for a faithful recreation of historical painting schemes and markings used on Soviet armor units during this period.
