product description
The KV-1 was the first in the series of Soviet heavy tanks, developed during WW2, named after the Soviet defense commissar Kliment Voroshilov. The KV tanks were known for their heavy armour protection during the early stages of the war, which was practically immune to the mounted guns of the early Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks fielded by the invading German forces. However, the tank was no longer on par with the emerging Panther and Tiger tanks to be later replaced by the IS-1 and IS-2 tanks in 1943.
Manned by a crew of 5, the KV-1 was armed with a 76.2 mm main gun in addition to 3 machine guns.
