Ark Models 35021 KV-9 Russian heavy tank (1/35) is a detailed plastic model kit representing a Soviet heavy tank from World War II. The model has been faithfully reproduced in the popular 1:35 scale among modelers, allowing for extremely realistic detail replication.

The KV-9 was one of the prototype variants of the well-known KV tank series, developed by the Soviet Union in 1942-1943. It was tested as a direct infantry support variant – enhanced with a 122 mm M-30S howitzer, housed in a newly designed turret. Although the KV-9 was not mass-produced, it represents an interesting development episode in the armament of the Red Army during the intense fighting on the Eastern Front in World War II. It was used in combat trials, and the experience gained from its operation contributed to the development of other vehicles better suited to contemporary support requirements.
