Trumpeter in the Box with a KV-122

¹⁄35

Thursday, February 14, 2013 - 09:37 AM UTC

A third Russian armored vehicle is rolling our way Trumpeter, this time a heavy tank. Here is a first look at what to expect in the box.

Trumpeter continues to release some great looking Russian AFV’s, and the next heavy release is almost upon us, the KV-122. The KV-122 was another tank in the long KV line, destined to replace the KV-85 and mounting the D-25T 122mm gun. There was one KV-122 made, never entered service, and the tank did enter mass production and service with some slight changes as the IS-2.

01570 – Soviet KV-122 Heavy Tank

Expected delivery is listed on a few sites as mid-March 2013.

Cool! Hopefully Trumpeter will keep it up and release the entire KV line

But, Trumpeter may have changed that, as the sprues were not brown in color.

Cool, I will pick this one up. Now, could someone for the love of God convince Trumpeter to do a KV-3 next? Pretty please?

I've got a few of their newer KV kits and they are indeed indy links. Put me down for a KV-3 too. Quite a few things one could do with a lengthened KV hull.

The price compared to the first serie of KV-1 and KV-2 doubled... and still no PE grilles for the top of the engine bay. Why?

+100000 for the KV-3. I've seen screenshots of KV-220-2 (it is KV-3 with the usual KV-1 turret) last summer,but no updates since. I wonder if this KV-122 has correct early simmetrical turret pattern? If not,it is bad flaw, because only JS-2 had it, and not initially.
