Overview
Soviet Union KV-2 Upgrade Edition 1/16 Scale Heavy Tank RTR from Heng Long - HLG3949-001
A heavy assault tank using a 152mm main cannon, the Soviet KV-2 was produced at the same time as the KV-1. Due to the size of its heavy turret and gun, the KV-2 was slower and had a much higher profile than the KV-1. Due to an increase in turret weight from the expanded dimensions and a heavier gun, the turret traverse mechanism could work only on level ground. In service between 1940-1945, the tank was named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Klim Voroshilov who operated with the Red Army during World War II. The KV tanks were known for their heavy armor protection during the early stages of the war, especially during the first year of the German invasion of the Soviet Union. In certain situations, even a single KV-1 or KV-2 supported by infantry could halt German formations. The German Wehrmacht at that time rarely deployed its tanks against KVs, as their own armament was too poor to deal with the Russian weapon. The KV tanks were practically immune to the guns mounted on the early Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks fielded by the invading German forces.
This Upgrade version features steel gears and plastic tracks for an economical balance between durability and weight.
