KV-1E in 1/72 scale

 

Name Heavy Tank KV-1E (Item No. 72016)
Producer  PST, Belorussia
Packing pasteboard box, with action drawing of average qualities on foreside
Type of kit Plastic (Snap-It)
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.
