Based on thets produced a variant model armed with a short-barreled 152mm howitzer mounted in an impressively large turret. The so-called KV-2 heavy assault tank was developed as a more heavily armed tank, intended to target bunkers and other enemy strong points. The tank carried 36 High Explosive rounds for its main gun, and featured a machine gun for secondary armament. Like the KV-1, the KV-2 featured thick armor that rendered it immune to everything but artillery and aircraft fire, and was capable of posing a formidable threat to the invading Germans. However, it was also handicapped because of its heavy weight, which reduced speed and maneuverability and contributed to a higher number of breakdowns than the KV-1. 334 KV-2 units were built between November 1940 and November 1942, before production factories were captured or forced to relocate due to the German advance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Detailed 1\/48 assembly model kit of the Russian KV-2 Heavy Tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Includes diecast chassis for added weight and realism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Model accurately replicates 152mm howitzer and large size turret.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Gun and turret can move, and hatches on top and rear of turret may be opened or closed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Assembly type tracks come with straight parts made of single pieces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Includes 3 types of turret slogan decals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ippys Hobbies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51384676843815,"sku":"TAM32538ED1954A","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/7544\/2471\/files\/TAM32538ED1954a__58747.1605815179.1280.1280.jpg?v=1778548149","url":"https:\/\/www.ippyshobbies.com\/products\/tamiya-32538-1-48-russian-kv-2-heavy-tank","provider":"Ippys Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
