Getting almost back on our weekly schedule, we'll begin this week with the 1:72 scale Hobby Master Russian KV-2 Heavy Artillery Tank Kalinin Front from Trinkets to Treasures for $17.95.
From Hobby Master Diecast this is a 1:72 scale model of the Russian KV-2 Heavy Artillery Tank, Kalinin Front, Russia 1942. Measures approx. 3.75 inches in length. Hobby Master model number HG3004.
Limited Edition 1,200 pieces worldwide.
The Russian KV-2 heavy tank was known for its size and 152mm gun. It was named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. The KV-2, designed as a slow-moving bunker-buster. It was reported that the KV-2 could withstand over forty enemy hits and none penetrated its armor before the use of the German Flak guns. One challenge of the tank's design is its large turret which stood out as an east target for the enemy. It was also heavy and had a high rate of mechanical failure. A total of 334 KV-2s were produced during the period from 1940 to October 1941. The Russian words 'For Stalin' was inscribed on the profile of the turret.
Hobby Master replicates some of the greatest military tanks in history in 1/48 and 1/72 scale die cast models. Hobby Master tank models have movable gun barrels, turrets and tracks. Best of all, Hobby Master models arrive fully assembled and ready to display right out of the box!
