Soviet Heavy Tank KV-122. TRUMPETER 01570

Assembly plastic kit of a Soviet Heavy Tank KV-122. The kit contains more than 440 pieces, including a metal barrel gun and photo-etched parts.

The KV-13 program's KV-85 prototype was accepted for production as the IS-1 (or IS-85, Object 237) heavy tank. After testing with both 100 mm and 122 mm guns, the DT-25T 122 mm gun was selected as the main armament of the new tank, primarily because of its ready availability and the effect of its large high-explosive shell when attacking German fortifications. The KV-122 replaced the KV-85, and began mass as the IS-2.
