Trumpeter - KV-1 Model 1942 Light Tank 1:35

The superior armor protection of the heavy cast turret on the KV-1 model 1942 tank has its cost! The weight of the tank now reaches 47 tones and this weight is considered heavy even for a modern tank standard! The KV series utilizes the same engine without major changes and the more and more added heavyweight drops the maximum speed from 35 Kilometers/hour to 28 kilometers/hour. Off-road performances are even worst and hard to operate. To solve the problem, a lightweight cast turret was born. One feature helps to identify turret of this type –-A large cast ring around rear machine gun mount.
