History and context of use

The Soviet KV-2 heavy tank was one of the most powerful tanks of its era. Designed at the outset of World War II, it was distinguished by its massive turret fitted with a 152 mm howitzer. Between 1940–1941, it saw action primarily on the Eastern Front during the German invasion of the USSR. Its hefty silhouette and thickly armored hull made a big impression on German armored troops during the battles of Smolensk and the defense of Leningrad.

Why choose this product?

The E.T. Model E35-301 set allows you to significantly increase the realism of the Trumpeter model with faithfully reproduced details not available in the basic set. Ultra-thin photo-etched parts enable you to replicate even the finest features such as handles, locks, or protective meshes. It is the ideal choice for advanced modelers and those who wish to transform their KV-2 model into a unique, highly realistic miniature of this historic vehicle.

Who is it for?

This product is especially recommended for advanced modelers who already have experience assembling tiny, precise photo-etched elements. It requires both precision and patience, but enables results unattainable when building a model only from original plastic parts.
