Trumpeter - Trumpeter - Pending KV-1S Release?

Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - 10:25 AM UTC

Announced sometime ago was the KV-1S from Trumpeter, well there seems to be some detail behind the rumor.

There were rumors once upon a time of a new Trumpeter KV-1S. Well it seems that those rumors may be coming true. Trumpeter recently updated their site with images of the kit, and adding a May release date. Well May has come and gone, and no KV-1S yet. A little research has shown that some online vendors are having a pre-sale of the kit for a July release. So with images on site and pre-sales occuring, maybe the KV-1S will be available soon.

01566 - Soviet KV-1S Heavy Tank

The kit is said to have 440+ parts, a metal barrel, and 1 fret of PE. Let's hope we see this beast soon.

I checked both, Lucky Models has the 2006 release, and HLJ has listed as out of stock, Tower Hobbies is listed as coming in July.

Was actually slated as a June release for the North American market....mind you June is almost over, so who knows, however none of the June releases have come out in NA yet.

It's out for a while now in Europe, for example here in Germany: http://www.modellbau-koenig.de/Militaermodellbau_135/Panzer/Panzer_WKII_-_Alliierte/KV-1S__i11_30997_0.htm Trumpeter did a rework on the hull and didn't take the old KV-1/2 hull..great
