The resin grille over the engine compartment of the KV-1 and KV-2, version 1 in 1:35 scale replaces the blind relief on the rear deck of an injection-molded kit. An accessory for a model, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin grille over the engine compartment for models of the Soviet KV-1 and KV-2 heavy tanks in 1:35 scale. On the real vehicle a screen covered the intake and exhaust openings of the engine, and on an injection-molded kit this is the area where simplification shows up first: plastic manages it only as a blind relief, whereas a resin print holds thin ribbing. The version 1 designation points to one of the variants of the grille.
The KV heavy tanks were built from 1940 in Leningrad and, after the evacuation, in Chelyabinsk, and individual plants as well as production batches differed in detail. The KV-1 with its 76.2 mm gun and the KV-2 with its 152 mm howitzer shared the chassis and the twelve-cylinder V-2 diesel engine, and it was the cooling of that engine which called for the large grilled openings on the rear deck. The shape and the division of the grilles are among the most reliable recognition features of the production versions. The upper surface of the engine compartment is also clearly visible from above on a finished model.
Small resin prints break off easily, so cut them away with a scalpel only at the moment you glue them. Level the mark left by the support with a fine file under water; resin dust is not to be inhaled. Wash the surface with warm soapy water before painting so that no uncured print resin is left on it. Make the joint with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and key the part with primer.
This is an accessory for modifying a model, not a kit of the vehicle. The parts are supplied unpainted; the base kit, the glue and the paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Check the exact contents on the box.
