Zvezda 1/72 KV-2 (5084)

Today we are going to check together Zvezda 1/72 KV-2 (5084). Kit comes as yet another tank model from the famous brand. I already reviewed the previous version, so it is interesting to see what is new in today's one. Well, one thing is visible straightaway - ugly updated design of the box. Now it looks like some noname brand from China, and that is really weird change of direction to be honest. Inside you will find all frames sealed into one plastic bag. In total there are 150 parts which should assemble into a model with 9.6 cm length. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.

By the way, here you can read review with KV-1 from the same brand.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.

First frame is dedicated to hull parts. Here you will find separate panels both for the top and bottom sections of this tank.

Top panel has some features premolded, but all hatches are molded shut unfortunately. Note also track sections on the photo.

More tracks come on two separate frames. Here you will find roadwheels, drive sprockets and even some external elements.

Big turret should be glued out of separate panels. Here we get at least several separate hatches, but manual shows them as shut. Main gun barrel is molded as one-piece, what is also nice.

Decals sheet is not that big, but you get all necessary symbols. Printing quality looks nice out of the box. Marking guide is printed in colors as you can see on the photo below.

Rear side of the box also shows assembled and painted model.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. You can check all pages in the video-review.

New tank should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice for modelers, who don't have space for bigger project. You get nice plastic with great molding quality. Assembly should be easy as well, so it is just paintwork which you will have to do nicely. Several marking options will come handy for this, so you will definitely find something interesting to replicate.
