Zvezda 1/72 KV-1 (5070)

This article will tell you more about Zvezda 1/72 KV-1 (5070). New tank comes as yet another small scale release from the well-known brand. Note that this time we don't get any easy assembly or else, and also plastic itself is compeltely new. Overall packaging is typical, so all frames come in several bags. There are 149 parts which should assemble into a model with 9,2cm length. Let's open everything and take a closer look together.

By the way, here you can read review with a modern vehicle in the same scale.

Watch this video if you would like to see all parts even closer.

First frame is one of the biggest as it carries hull panels.

Tracks are molded as plastic sections which will have to be assembled around drivetrain parts. Overall details look good and should be easy to install.

Turret should be glued out of separate panels, hatch is molded separately. Main gun barrel is also molded out of plastic.

Decals sheet is not that big, but printing quality looks fine. You can check markings on the photo below.

Rear side of the box also shows pictures of the finished model without paint coat.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.

New small tank should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it might be an interesting option for modelers who don't have space for a bigger scale build. You still get nice details out of the box, and small size might be more fun to build a diorama around. Overall quality looks fine and should be easy to work with.
