Trumpeter as most of you will realise by now, are bringing out four
different KV kits which are.

KV-1 model 1942 Heavy Cast Turret Tank

KV-1 model 1942 Simplified Turret Tank

KV-1(model 1941) KV Small Turret Tank

KV-2 Tank

So far it seems, if my reading is correct from the forums, only the Kv II and the Kv I (simplified) turret are available - with the latter in very short supply. Is it my imagination or is only the KV II actually available in any numbers?...Jim

both KV-1-simplified turret and KV-2 are available overhere,
i did not see the other KV-1 variants overhere.and there not anounnced in the near future......strange....will check it with my local dealer

Hi, Here in Ohio, only the KV-II is around.

I also read someplace or other on the Net. that Trumpter was also going to do the KV-II B as well. Anybody heard anything on this one way or the other? Just curious.

Take care, Sgirty

Jim,

The KV-1 model 1942 Heavy Cast Turret Tank (kit 00359) and KV-1(model 1941) KV Small Turret Tank (kit00.56) were released first but only in Asia for some reason and then the other two (00312 KV-2 kit and 00358 KV-1 model 1942 Simplified Turret) were released world wide.

The first two are being released world wide some time this month, I have no idea why this happened this way.

I actually received the first two kits at the end of June from RT in Japan but as mentioned are only now becoming available in the rest of the world.

Cheers

As of 2 weeks ago only the KV 2 had arrived.Thats the one I just finished building.I am waiting for any of the others
(++) (++)

Seen the KV1 simplified turret and the KV2 in London, in about equal numbers.

I have only just managed to order the Kv - 1 (Small turret) Mod. 1941 from Lucky Models. Previously I had only seen the Kv - II in Britain and in Poland. That is what was annoying me...Jim

We're swimming in all four versions here in Japan.

I have the Trumpeter KV-2 kits in stock here at my shop, but have yet to get any of the KV-1 kits. I do, however have all 4 KV-1 kits on pre-order.

Jim, there is 1 more Trumpeter KV-1 kit coming out, #00357 KV-1S Ehkranami. With this KV-1S hull, Trumpeter could also do a KV-85, but this is unknown at this time.

Cheers !!

Robert, thanks for that, I'm hoping they do the Kv-85 and (hope beyond hope) they might go further and do a Kv -220 or Kv-9...Too much to hope for?..Jim :-)
