Hobby Master 1/72 Russian KV-2 Heavy Tank Model (HG3004)
The Russian KV-2 was famous for its enormous size and the gigantic 152mm gun. Along with deploying these monsters in small numbers the KV-2 was a victim of its own design. Tremendously heavy and prone to mechanical failures these tanks were doomed from the start. One Tank Division lost 22 of their 33 KV-2s with only five being attributed to the enemy the remaining 17 were abandoned because of a lack of fuel or ammunition. Only 334 KV-2's were produced when they were cancelled in October 1941. Crews referred to the KV-2 with its large turret, 152 mm gun and massive weight as the Dreadnought. With For Stalin inscribed on the high profile turret this KV-2 like all others stood out and became an easy target. Despite the increased weight the same hull and chassis as the KV-1 were used. Before the use of Flak 18s and 36s there are records showing a KV-2 withstood over forty hits and none penetrated the armor. Size and lack of re-supply were the main downfalls of this giant
