The model is made in the popular 1:72 scale, making it an excellent choice for both collectors and modelers interested in armored vehicles from the 1940s.

Please note that glue and paints are not included – these accessories must be purchased separately.

The KV-9 heavy tank was designed in the Soviet Union in early 1942 in response to the need to eliminate heavily fortified defensive positions and counter enemy armored vehicles. The model was based on the well-known KV-1 platform, but distinguished itself by the use of a short-barreled 122 mm howitzer and exceptionally thick armor up to 135 mm. Thanks to this, the KV-9 was one of the most heavily armored tanks of its time, surpassing its predecessors both in firepower and crew protection.

The KV-9 remained at the prototype stage and was used mainly during tests in 1942. Due to the limited number of units produced, the vehicle did not enter mass production nor did it take part in front-line battles of World War II. However, it plays an important role in the history of Soviet military technology as an example of modernization efforts and the search for new solutions on the battlefield.
