Quality
Castings from varicoloured
polystyrene are layed-out into five frames. Most of them are
common with models of another KV type tanks from identical
producer. New parts are above all parts of additional armor
“applique” type. Quality of castings is above-average,
with fine and trustworthy details. Outlines faith of model
is very accurate. Extra pretty they are tracks from hard
plastic. Like negative of kit I consider, that open is made
only turret hatch, whilst driver's one is molded closed.
Another mistake of this model is taht it contains no tools
and accessories.
Instruction
sheet
Instruction
in russian and english is very well made, detailed and well-aranged.
Decals
Decalcomania
is also very pretty, with good register and for two versions, but it’s
varnish is somewhat glossy..
General Impression
& Note
Very nice looking model of this less
wide-spread version (only about 100 tanks, operating only on Leningrad’s
front) of glorious heavy tank.
