1/72 KV-1S Ekhranami
Trumpeter 1/72 KV-1 Ekranami is a plastic kit of the Soviet KV-1 heavy tank fitted with bolted-on appliqué armour. According to the manufacturer, the kit contains 106 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The KV-1 was a Soviet heavy tank named after Marshal Kliment Voroshilov. In 1941 some vehicles received additional armour plates bolted to the turret and hull to better withstand German anti-tank weapons; these are known as the KV-1 with ekranami (screens). It is not the lightened KV-1S, with which it is easily confused because of the similar spelling.
According to the box, the Trumpeter kit in 1/72 scale consists of 106 parts and the finished model is about 90 mm long. The appliqué plates with their prominent bolt heads give the turret and hull sides the angular look that distinguishes this variant from the standard KV-1.
The 1/72 scale suits collections of Eastern Front armour as well as smaller dioramas. The single-colour Red Army green comes alive with subtle weathering and highlighted bolt heads on the added armour. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
