So you are essentially looking for breech blocks. SFAIK there are no correct and ready-to-use breech blocks for those guns mounted in tanks readily available. I will look in my kits tonight to see if Hobby Boss gives you them, I do not know right now, but I know for certain there is no proper turret interior available for the KV-2.

For the KV-2 you could use the breech from a D-1 howitzer to start with, since it was essentially the same gun mounted in the turret (the d-1 was made using the carriage of the M-30 122mm howitzer and the gun of the M-10 152mm howitzer. As for mounting it, etc...that may take a bit of work.

Yeah, unlike aircraft, AFVs suffer from out of sight out of mind since they are enclosed, and besides being a mess of wires, tubes, bars, plate etc. Hey you aftermarket people where is my breech assembly?

Oh, sorry, I thought you just meant the turned barrels.

I figured I would misunderstood. HB T35 arrived today, with two Alpine 6' tankers. Man that is three breeches right there!

Eduard's photoetch updates for several older Soviet tank kits included parts to make the breech from photoetch--the block is easy enough to fold into a box, though folding it onto a small block of styrene would give it more strength. Rolling PE into a cylinder to make the rear of the gun tube is silly, though, and a piece of styrene tube is a better bet. Go to Eduard's website and look at the pdf files of the instructions for their BT and T-26 updates to see which ones have the parts you need. Rummage around in their other updates, and you may find the other weapons you need. Brass will require more effort than a resin kit, but it's better than nothing.
