IGKent Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Hi guys! Short information The Soviet heavy tank KV-1 (Kliment Voroshilov for short) was mass-produced from 1938 to 1942. From the first days of the war, it proved to be a reliable and slightly vulnerable vehicle due to its good armor. Even the enemy used them after being restored. And despite this, by the end of 1941, it was decided at an accelerated pace to shield most of the produced vehicles with additional armor plates (30 and 25 mm). These works were decided to be carried out at the Kirov and Izhora plants in Leningrad. The turret and hull of the tank were shielded, and fastened with 48 mm bolts. A simplified version - only a tower. For all the time of work, about 130 pieces were produced. Engine V-shaped, liquid-cooled diesel (500 hp) Front of the tower - 75mm, gun mantlet 90mm. Frontal armor of the hull and sides - 75mm. F-32 gun with a 76mm rifled barrel. Three machine guns DT - 7.62 mm. Crew - 5 people. The combat weight is about 48 tons. The model, as usual, is made with some modifications. - simulated armored screens with bolts on the turret and hull -machine gun barrels replaced with needles (forward and turret) -made handrails on the tower of wire -changed cannon to correct size -added headlight and front towing loops (rear modified) - Improved caterpillars, etc. Painting - AKAN enamels (6th series), glossy varnish - FUTURE and matt TAMIYA Washing MIG (dark), "dirt" - pigments MIG, tinting "metal" pencil. Presented KV-1E from the 1st Mechanized Corps of the 2nd Tank Division of the Leningrad Front. Happy viewing! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
