[Product introduction]
TAMIYA 1/35 Military Miniature Series No.375 Soviet heavy tank KV-2.
[The high wall that stands in the way conveys the horror of the “monster”]
In December 1939, the Soviet Army adopted many modern equipment such as a diesel engine and torsion bar suspension as the next generation main heavy tank. The KV-1 was formalized. The KV-2 is a heavy tank for breaching positions that further enhances the attack power of the KV-1. The hull is based on the KV-1, and the main gun has been replaced from a 76.2mm cannon to a huge 152mm howitzer. In order to secure internal space, the turret was extremely tall and box-shaped. Delivery to the military began in July 1940, with over 200 vehicles completed. The KV-2s that fought against the German invasion in June 1941 were plagued by troubles such as breakdowns due to their excessive weight, but some of the vehicles were able to take full advantage of their robust defenses and the power of their 152mm howitzers. Make the most of it and fight alone. It stood in front of the rapidly advancing German troops and became an important force until preparations were made for a counterattack.
