likes the look of the Soviet KV-1 tank, and plunges into a project to paint three of them - plus a spare KV-2 turret!
Now for a Russian heavy to give your early-war Eastern Front Germans some headaches.
To fill some gaps in our Russian range, JTFM Enterprises/Die Waffenkammer releases the KV-1 Model 1940.
Modified from our existing SU-152 hull, and with remastered, up-detailed tracks and a machined turret.
The model 1940 was the main production version at the time of Germany's invasion of Russia, and was more than a match for the opposing Pz. Is, IIs, and IIIs of the time.
When Operation Barbarossa began, the Red Army was equipped with 500 or so of the new KV tanks. Its armor was so effective that the Germans were incapable of destroying it with their tanks or anti-tank weapons, and had to rely on 88mm anti-aircraft or 105mm guns to knock them out.
The KV-1 Model 1940 is available in our webstore.
The model retails for $32.00 CAD, and comes with a crew figure and our usual assortment of stowage.
More Russian heavies to come, I'm still not done!
