Hi Everyone,
Has anyone seen or heard of the Finnish using KV-2s during the war? I think that it would look pretty cool in the Finnish three tone cammo with a big "hakaristi" on the side.
I would appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks in advance.

I have not seen any reference to the KV-2 being used by the Finns. They did have a couple of KV-1's, several T-34's, a couple of ISU 152's (one very briefly), and some T-28's. They also cobbled together some BT-7's with some WWI vintage British howitzers (BT-42) that Eastern Express put out a kit of.
