Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 1/35

Tamiya welcomes a new addition to 1/35 Military Miniature Series ? this time, the Russian Heavy Tank KV-2, a heavier variant of the KV-1 (Item 35372). The Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 was developed as the combination of the KV-1 chassis and a massive, boxy turret equipped with a 152mm howitzer. Although its weight caused frequent machinery failure during the early of the German-Soviet War from June, 1941, it?s also recorded that one KV-2 single handedly held up one German division for a few days. The KV-2 concept also played a role in the development of heavy self-propelled guns such as the JSU-152.
