Tamiya released their first 1:35 scale KV-1 kit in 1972. This was followed by a KV-II (sic) in 1975. These were typical kis of their day with motorisation options and full length vinyl tracks.
In 2005, Trumpeter launched their Kliment Voroshilov family with a KV-2, quickly followed by around ten variants of the KV-1/2/85 family, both mainstream and rare. These were some of Trumpeter's best ever kits.
Tamiya’s brand new 1:35 scale KV-2 owes nothing at all to the 1972 release The turret parts are completely new while the tracks and running gear are based on the excellent 2020 KV-1 release.
Tamiya's 1:35 scale KV-2, kit no. 35375, comprises 319 parts in dark green plastic, two parts in clear, a length of string, eight polythene caps and markings for a single vehicle.
