Ark Models 35033 KV-1 Russian heavy tank, model 1941 late version (1/35)

The Ark Models 35033 plastic model kit depicts the Soviet heavy tank KV-1 in its late 1941 version, made in the popular and detailed 1/35 scale. It is an excellent choice for historical modelers interested in the World War II period and authentically recreating Soviet armored vehicles on the Eastern Front. This kit does not include glue or paints—however, it allows for unlimited personalization of the finished vehicle according to your preferences and requires your own finishing touches.

The model represents the KV-1 tank (Kliment Voroshilov)—one of the most famous armored vehicles of the Red Army during World War II. Its late 1941 version was distinguished by improved armor (in places up to 75-90 mm thick) and a modified turret providing better crew protection. The KV-1 participated in the heaviest fighting on the Eastern Front, including the defense of Leningrad, the Battle of Moscow, and battles around Kharkov, where its resilience commanded respect among German tank crews. The vehicle was used by the USSR from 1940 to 1943, mainly in the early years of the war, with its combat debut taking place in the Soviet-Finnish conflict (the so-called Winter War), although it appeared on the front in significant numbers in the summer of 1941.
