Trumpeter 1:35 Soviet KV-1S/85 Heavy Tank

The Trumpeter 1:35 Soviet KV-1S/85 Heavy Tank recreates one of the Soviet Union's experimental heavy tanks developed during the transition from the KV series to the IS family. The KV-1S/85 combined the lighter KV-1S chassis with an enlarged turret mounting the powerful 85mm S-31 gun, serving as an important step in the evolution of Soviet heavy tank design before the adoption of the KV-85 and IS-1. Although it never entered mass production, the KV-1S/85 represents a fascinating chapter in Soviet armored vehicle development.

Trumpeter's kit features finely engraved surface detail, a multi-slide molded lower hull, a newly tooled cast turret, individual-link tracks, and a turned aluminum gun barrel. Photo-etched parts, clear components, braided copper tow cable, and optional open hatches provide an excellent level of detail for modelers looking to build this rare Soviet prototype.
