IGKent Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hi, gentlemen! My last tank in 1/100 scale. A small information The Soviet heavy assault tank KV-2 was developed at the Design Bureau LKZ (Leningrad Kirov Plant) in January 1940. Due to the urgent need for the Red Army to fight in a well-protected tank with powerful weapons, which participated in the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-40. It was widely used to combat the fortifications of the Mannerheim Line. At the beginning of the Second World War, there were a small number of them, but they were able to shock the advancing enemy. With their 152-mm cannon, they destroyed any armored vehicles of the Germans at that time. The only danger was the 88 mm anti-aircraft gun. They were produced at LKZ until October 1941. A total of 204 copies were issued. Frontal armor of the tower - 75mm, hull - 75mm. Gun mask - 110 mm. Engine 12 cyl. V-shaped liquid-cooled diesel (600 hp) Speed on the highway 34 km / h. Cross-country - 16 km / h. Power reserve 150-250 km. Tank howitzer M-10T cal. - 152 mm. (B / c 36 shells). 3 machine guns DT cal. 7.62 mm. Combat weight - 52 tons. Crew - 6 people. The model, as usual, is made with some changes: - was drilled a hole in the barrel of the gun - added all handrails on the tower - course and stern machine guns from needles - added headlight and front towing loops (rear, modified) and other Painting - AKAN enamels (6th series), glossy varnish - FUTURE and matt TAMIYA Washing MIG (dark), "dirt" - pigment MIG, toning - "metal" pencil. I present KV-2 by one of the tank divisions of the Red Army Happy viewing! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
