A third Russian armored vehicle is rolling our way Trumpeter, this time a heavy tank. Here is a first look at what to expect in the box.
Trumpeter continues to release some great looking Russian AFV’s, and the next heavy release is almost upon us, the KV-122. The KV-122 was another tank in the long KV line, destined to replace the KV-85 and mounting the D-25T 122mm gun. There was one KV-122 made, never entered service, and the tank did enter mass production and service with some slight changes as the IS-2.

01570 – Soviet KV-122 Heavy Tank

Expected delivery is listed on a few sites as mid-March 2013.

Any idea what type of tracks it will have?

Cool! Hopefully Trumpeter will keep it up and release the entire KV line

But, Trumpeter may have changed that, as the sprues were not brown in color.

Cool, I will pick this one up. Now, could someone for the love of God convince Trumpeter to do a KV-3 next? Pretty please?

I've got a few of their newer KV kits and they are indeed indy links. Put me down for a KV-3 too. Quite a few things one could do with a lengthened KV hull.

The price compared to the first serie of KV-1 and KV-2 doubled... and still no PE grilles for the top of the engine bay. Why?

+100000 for the KV-3. I've seen screenshots of KV-220-2 (it is KV-3 with the usual KV-1 turret) last summer,but no updates since. I wonder if this KV-122 has correct early simmetrical turret pattern? If not,it is bad flaw, because only JS-2 had it, and not initially.
