Miniart 1:35 - Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. C - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35166
The Panzerkampfwagen III, widely known as the Panzer III, was a German medium tank produced by the Daimler-Benz AG in the 1930's. According to the Army Weapons Department plans, the Panzer III was aimed to serve as the main battle tank of the German Panzer divisions. It was meant to fight enemy tank forces with the support of the Panzer IV which was intended to neutralise anti-tank guns.
The Panzer III was able to reach speeds up to 40 km/h by road and 20 km/h off road. Its armament included one 37 mm KwK 36 L/45 cannon and two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns. Compared to its successors, the Ausf. G and Ausf. J, the Panzer III featured a relatively thin armour (15 mm). It had space for five crew members.
When the Soviet T-34 first appeared on the battlefield, the Germans saw the urgent need for a more powerful anti-tank gun. The decision was made to redesign the Panzer IV as it had more potential for further development. The Ausf. C soon became outdated and its production ended in 1943. The tank was deployed in several German campaigns of the early war period including the September Campaign in Poland, the Fall of France and Operation Barbarossa.
The kit contains 1047 plastic parts. It is the first plastic model of the Pz. Kpfw. III Ausf. C.

Miniart 1:35 - T-54-1 Soviet Medium Tank
£44.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - T-54-1 Soviet Medium Tank - Plastic Figure Model Kit #37014
The T-54-1 was the first battle tank of the T-54 series developed on the basis of T-44 prototypes after the end of the Second World War. Its production started with 3 vehicles built in 1946. By 1948 the output volume grew significantly, however production was stopped due to poor factory conditions. After a year it was relaunched, but already with an improved T-54-2 version.
At the final stage of the war Soviet engineers sought for replacement of the T-34 and T-44 lines with a vehicle which could carry a 100 mm gun. Their attempts resulted in a new model designated T-54. It was widely deployed by the Soviet Army and the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries throughout the later part of the 20th century. Experts estimate that during that time over 80 thousand of units were issued which makes the T-54 the most extensively used tank in military history.

The Soviet T-54 main battle tank was introduced after the Second World War with the first prototype built in 1945. Production started in 1948 with the T-54-1, and in 1949 the Soviet Union launched the modernised version of the tank, the T-54-2. It had a modified turret inspired by the heavy IS-3 tank, the tracks were expanded to 480mm which helped reduce ground pressure, and the thickness of frontal upper plate was decreased to 100mm. In 1949-1951 the Stalin Ural Tank Factory No. 183 had built over 1200 T-54-2's before the next modernisation phase took place.

The T-54-3 belonged to the T-54 family of Soviet main battle tanks issued right after the end of the Second World War. Having taken parts in many conflicts during the latter half of the 20th century, the T-54 became the leading tank of the Soviet Army, armies of the Warsaw Pact countries and others. The T-54 series was later replaced from Russian service by the T-62, T-64, T-80 and other tanks, however it is still used by the armies of up to 50 other nations.
The T-54-3 was an modified version of the earlier T-54-2 main battle tank. It featured an improved turret without side undercuts and the new TSh-2-22 telescopic gunner's sight. The tank was also equipped with the TDA smoke-generating system.

The production of T-55 started in January 1958 at Uralvagonzavod. Compared to the T-54, this tank had a number of differences, the main ones being NBC protection and a new engine. Overtime the T-54's were modernised and together with T-55's they formed the T-54/55 series. These tanks became the most inexpensive MBTs which together with their reliability led to the highest number of exports among any modern tanks in history.

Miniart 1:35 - T-60 (Plant No. 264) Stalingrad w/Interior - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35219
The T-60 was a Soviet light tank produced in 1941-1942. The production of the T-60 started just after the German invasion of the Soviet Union. This scout tank was armed with a 20 mm TNSh cannon which later proved to be inefficient against new German tanks. In 1942 it was attempted to substitute the cannon with the 37 mm ZIS-19 but this did not happen due to the shortage of 37 mm ammunition. The T-60 was then replaced by the new T-70 light tank.
A total of 6,292 T-60 tanks were built. 1186 of those were produced at Plant No. 264 located near Stalingrad in 1941 and 1942.

Miniart 1:35 - T-60 Early Series with Interior - Plastic Model Kit #35215
The T-60 was a Soviet light tank of WWII aimed to replace the T-38 amphibious tank, outdated by that time. The prototype for the T-60, the T-30B, was built at Moscow Factory No. 37. It had the T-40's chassis and was equipped with heavier armour, yet it was easier to construct overall. The T-30B was commissioned to production under the name T-60 in 1941 and was produced until 1942. During the year of production over six thousand T-60 tanks were issued.
Initially the T-60 was armed with a 20mm TNSh cannon (a tank version of the ShVAK aircraft auto-cannon) which could pierce 15mm armour at the distance of 500m. That range was insufficient against contemporary German tanks so the 37mm ZIS-19 cannon was offered as a replacement. However, it turned out to be impossible to re-arm the tank as 37mm ammunition was scarce in the USSR at that time.
During the war, the Germans managed to capture several T-60 tanks and used them under the name Panzerkampfwagen T-60 743(r).

Miniart 1:35 - British Tank Mk. III Valentine V - Plastic model kit #35106
The Mk. III Valentine was a British infantry tank produced during World War II. The tank had many variants, and over 8000 vehicles of this type were produced. There are several versions of why the tank was called "Valentine", most popular being that the design was presented to the War Office on the 14th of February.
Initially Vickers produced 10 tanks per month, rising to 45 per month, and peaking at 20 per week in 1943. Production of the Valentine and vehicles based on the Valentine stopped in 1945. A total of 2,515 vehicles were produced by Vickers-Armstrong, and 2,135 were manufactured by Metropolitan. The Mk. III Valentine was also built under licence in Canada, with 1,420 vehicles produced. Most of these tanks were sent to the Soviet Union.
The British Army used the Valentine in the North African Campaign. As for the Soviet service, the tank was used from the Battle of Moscow until the end of the war.

Miniart 1:35 - German Jagdpanzer SU-76(r) w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35053
It was common for the German army to use captured vehicles in battle. The SU-76 was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during and after World War II. Its German designation was Jagdpanzer SU-76. The SU-76 was based on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 light tank chassis. Its simple construction made it the second most produced Soviet armoured vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.
The SU-76M virtually replaced infantry tanks in the close support role. Its thin armour and open top made it vulnerable to antitank weapons, grenades, and small arms. Its light weight and low ground pressure gave it good mobility.

Miniart 1:35 T-44 Soviet Medium Tank
£46.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - T-44 Soviet Medium Tank - Plastic model kit #35193
The T-44 was a Soviet medium tank first produced near the end of the Second World War. Compared to its predecessor, the T-34, this model had greater armour and improved ride and cross-country performance. By the time the T-44 was fully tested, the T-34 was equipped with the same 85mm main gun. Therefore the main focus of the Soviet Union was to increase the production of T-34's rather than introducing the T-44. Overall less than 2,000 T-44's were built, and although these tanks were available by the end of the war, they were not used in combat. During the war the Soviet Union started working on a slightly enlarged version of the T-44. This newer design entered production in 1947 as the T-54/55 - one of the most-produced tanks in military history.

The Sturmgeschütz IV, shortened to StuG IV or Sd.Kfz.167, was a German assault gun designed on the basis of the Panzer IV in the last years of the Second World War. The main role of the StuG IV on the battlefield was the same anti-tank role of its predecessor the StuG III. The use of StuG IV guns was a considerable support to the weakening German forces on both fronts.
The StuG IV was practically identical to its predecessor, however it was a bit lighter, which in view of the limited resources was a great advantage. Its armament consisted of a 7.5cm StuK 40 L / 48 assault cannon and 7.92mm MG 34 machine gun. In the period between December 1943 and May 1945 over a thousand of StuG IVs were built. The gun was proved effective against both Soviet and Allied tanks.

Revell 1:35 - Sd.Kfz. 184 Tank Hunter "Elefant" - Plastic Model Kit #03254
The Elefant was a heavy tank destroyer produced by the Porsche car company in 1943. The initial version was named "Ferdinand" after its designer Ferdinand Porsche.
The Ferdinand was modified after its debut in the Battle of Kursk during which a number of flaws were revealed. The improvements mainly concerned the construction of the tank and its armament. The vehicle was supplemented with a commander's cupola and a layer of front armour. Also, it was additionally armed with a MG 34 machine gun and covered with Zimmerit. The advanced model was renamed "Elefant". Officially it was known as Panzerjäger Tiger (P) or Sd.Kfz. 184.
Today one of these vehicles is on show at the Kubinka Tank Museum in Russia, and another belongs to the United States Army Ordnance Museum. These two tanks are the only samples of the series that survived the war.

Revell 1:35 - Tiger II Ausf. B (Henschel Turret) - Plastic Model Kit #03249
Tiger II was a German heavy tank of the Second World War officially designated the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B. Based on the Tiger I, the Tiger II combined the thick armour of its predecessor and the armour slope of the Panther medium tank. The maximum thickness of its front armour was 185 mm and the weight reached 70 tonnes. The armament consisted of the long barrelled 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun which proved to be efficient against all Allied tanks.
The initial design of the Tiger II was developed in 1937 by the Henschel company. It featured a hull with sloped armour, a rear-mounted engine and overlapping steel-tired road wheels, 80 cm in diameter. Another design was developed by Porsche in 1939, but it was declined due to large production costs.
The Tiger II first saw combat during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. On the Eastern Front it was first used by the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion. Fortunately for the Allies, German plants suffered great losses because of the Allied bombing, so a relatively small number of Tiger II's were built. Mass production ran from 1944 to the end of the war and only 492 units were produced during that period.

Takom 1:35 - British 'Whippet' Mk. A WWI Medium Tank - Plastic model kit #02025
Designed during WWI, British medium tank Mark A was intended for use in assaults that required fast speed and high mobility. It was nicknamed 'Whippet' for its ability to travel at the speed of 14 km/h which was two times faster than the speed of its predecessor, the Mk. IV. Protected by 14 mm armour and armed with four Hotchkiss M1909 machine guns, the Mark A's weight reached 14 tonnes. After the war, the Whippet was deployed during British military actions in Ireland, Northern Russia and Manchuria, but it was soon replaced by the Mk. B and Mk. C.

Takom 1:35 - British Mk IV Male "Tadpole" with workable tracks and wheels - Plastic model kit #02015
The Mark IV was a British tank of World War I issued in 1917. Derived from the world's first tank, the Mark I, the Mk.IV was considerably improved in both structure and armour, it was also easier to transport.
The Mark IV was introduced in two variants, a "Male" and a "Female". The Mk.IV Male was powered with three Lewis machine guns and two QF 6-pounder 6 cwt guns. The Female carried five machine guns, two of which were operated by the gun loaders.
Over a thousand Mk.IV-s were built in wartime, including Males, Females and utility vehicles, thus the series was the most produced British tank of WWI. It first saw combat at the Battle of Messines Ridge and continued to serve with British forces throughout the entire war.
During that period several attempts were made to improve the tank performance. In order to enhance its trench-crossing ability the Mk.IV was supplemented with the so-called "tadpole tail", an extension to its rear track horns. However, the tail lacked rigidity so the innovation was dropped. No Mk.IV "Tadpoles" were used on the battlefield.

Takom 1:35 Chieftain Mk.2 British Main Battle Tank

Takom 1:35 - Chieftain Mk.2 British Main Battle Tank - Plastic model kit #02040
The Chieftain was the main battle tank of the British army between the 1960's and 1980's and is still in service today with Iran. Due to its powerful armament and effective armour the tank quickly became known as one of the most formidable tanks in the world (Source: Janes Defence). Based on the Centurion, the Chieftain design was remarkable for the supine (upward facing) driver position which allowed for a heavy slope of the hull resulting in reduced height of the vehicle. The tank road speed was 48 km/h which was higher than the speed of its predecessor.
The Chieftain Mk.1 was the initial model of the series. It was used as a training vehicle by both the 1st and the 5th Royal Tank Regiments. The next, the Mk.2 became the first service version.
The Chieftain front armour was 388 mm on the glacis (sloped armour plate) and 390 mm on the turret. The turret was constructed without a gun mantlet in order to make it possible for the vehicle to recline up to ten degrees. The armament included one L11A5 rifled gun and two L7 machine guns.
The tanks of the series first saw combat in the Middle East. They were widely deployed by the Iranian troops during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980's and over a hundred of units served with the Kuwaiti army at the time of the Iraqi Invasion in 1990.
The Chieftain was successful on the battlefield and had potential for further development. The series underwent continuous updates during its service until it was replaced with the Challenger 1 in the early 1990's. Nowadays the tank is still used by the Iranian army.
Kit details:
- Detailed static display plastic model

Takom 1:35 - Chieftain Mk.5 Main Battle Tank MBT - Plastic model kit #02027
The Chieftain was the main battle tank of the British army between the 1960's and 1980's and is still in service today with Iran. Due to its powerful armament and effective armour the tank quickly became known as one of the most formidable tanks in the world (Source: Janes Defence). Based on the Centurion, the Chieftain design was remarkable for the supine (upward facing) driver position which allowed for a heavy slope of the hull resulting in reduced height of the vehicle.

Tamiya 1:35 - German Heavy Tank Destroyer Elefant
Sold Out
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the German Heavy Tank Destroyer Elefant.
Length: 236mm, Width: 97mm
The imposing form of the Elefant, including its 8.8cm gun and large fighting compartment, has been accurately reproduced based on a thorough study of an actual museum example. One-piece fighting compartment is made via slide moulding technique. The main gun, engine grilles, and detailed suspension are designed to ensure easy assembly. The tracks feature one-piece straight sections with realistic sag effect.
Kit comes with commander, loader, and driver torso figures. 3 marking options included to depict vehicles deployed to the Italian and Eastern fronts.
The German heavy tank destroyer Elefant was armed with a powerful 8.8cm L/71 gun which could knock out T-34 tanks at a distance of 2,000m, protected by armour up to 200mm thick, and equipped with advanced features such as a hybrid drivetrain. It had its roots in the Porsche-designed Ferdinand, which was first deployed into combat during the Battle of Kursk in 1943. The lessons learned from that battle resulted in modifications including the addition of a commander's cupola, a machine gun for infantry defence, and better tracks and the enhanced vehicle received the new designation Elefant in February 1944. Elefants were deployed to Italy and the Eastern Front, where they continued to defend against Allied forces until the final skirmishes of the war.
Tamiya 1:35 - German Panther Type G Tank Steel Wheel
Sold Out
The German Panther tank was produced from 1943 until the end of WWII and deployed on the Eastern and Western Fronts in Europe. The tank was developed as a replacement for the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks and was intended to counter the Soviet T-34. The Panther had a powerful 700hp Maybach engine and a turret placed far back on the hull mounting a 75mm L/70 cannon. The Panther's excellent firepower and protection made it one of the best tanks of World War II. The Panther was easier to produce and maintain than the Tiger I, but it is often considered to be as effective as the latter. The Ausf.G included versions with heater unit installed over the left engine fan, and with lower lip piece added to the mantlet to eliminate shot trap.

Trumpeter 1:35 - German E-75 (75-100 tons) Standardpanzer - Plastic model kit #01538
The German Entwicklung, or E-series tank designs were intended to replace the existing tanks such as the Jagdpanzer 38(t), Panther Ausf.G and Tiger II. The E-series vehicles were meant to be much simpler and cheaper to produce than their predecessors.
The E-75 Standardpanzer - standard heavy tank - was designed to replace the Tiger II and Jagdtiger. 75 stood for the intended weight of the vehicle - 75 tonnes. The E-75 was to use the Maybach HL 234 engine and due to its heavy weight the vehicle's maximum speed would be around 40 km/h.
The E-75 Standardpanzer shared many components with the E-50 which was intended to replace the Panther and Tiger I. The two vehicles were meant to have the same turret and the 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun.

The Jagdpanzer 38 (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), later known as the Hetzer ("pursuer/hunter"), was a German light tank destroyer, based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis, inspired by the Romanian "Mareşal" tank destroyer.
The Jagdpanzer 38 Starr ("Starr" means "rigid" in German) was a simplified version of the Jagdpanzer 38, first built in 1944. It was armed with the 75mm Pak 39 recoilless gun, while the original Hetzer used a traditional 75mm Pak 39 gun. First prototypes of the Hetzer-Starr were equipped with Tatra 928 diesel engines, however later they were replaced with standard engines. Several Hetzer-Starrs were used during the Prague uprising in 1945. Overall 10 vehicles of this type were built, 9 of them were later converted back to the normal Jagdpanzer 38. The remaining prototype was destroyed at the end of the war.

Trumpeter 1:35 - German Neubaufahrzeug Rheinmetall Tank - Plastic model kit #05528
Development of the Neubaufahrzeug ("New construction vehicle") started in 1933. It was the first attempt to create a heavy multi-turreted tank for the Wehrmacht. In 1926 the British built their version of a heavy multi-turreted tank, the Vickers A1E1 Independent, and the Germans bought its technical details from a British officer who acted as a spy. Both Rheinmetall and Krupp were designing a German heavy tank. Their designs turned out to be very similar, the main difference being the weapons placement. Both tanks had a main turret armed with a 75mm KwK L/24 main gun and secondary 37mm KwK L/45. Rheinmetall's design was called PzKpfw NbFz V, and Krupp's design was designated PzKpfw NbFz VI. However, both designs proved to be too complex, unreliable and slow to serve as heavy tanks. Only five tanks were produced and they were primarily used for propaganda purposes. Three out of five Neubaufahrzeug's took part in the Battle of Norway in 1940, but none of them survived the war.

Trumpeter 1:35 - German Super Heavy Jagdpanzer E-100 - Plastic model kit #01596
The Entwicklung series (German for "development"), shortened to E-Series, was a family of late WWII German tanks that were planned to be developed according to a standardised design. This was an attempt to stop the production of extremely complex and mechanically unreliable tanks in favour of cheaper, simpler and more efficient designs. However, the E-Series tanks featured only small modifications in armour and gun power compared to their predecessors which they were intended to replace.
The E-100 was one of the latest tanks of the E-Series. Based on the Tiger-Maus design that combined features of the Tiger II and the Maus, the E-100 prototype was constructed in 1944. However, further development was practically ended right after Hitler had issued the order to stop the Maus project.
Initially, a 75mm coaxial gun similar to the one from the Maus was meant to serve as the vehicle's armament, but later it was decided to choose a 170mm anti-tank gun in order to save more space for the crew and equipment. Another advantage of the 170mm gun was that it could shoot armour piercing projectiles at the range of up to 4 km. The speed of the tank was expected to reach 40 km/h.

The Sturmpanzer Bär (Bear) was a German anti-tank self-propelled gun developed in 1942. Although this project was not put into production, the Sturmpanzer Bär influenced the design of other self-propelled guns including the Sturmtiger assault gun.
The Sturmpanzer Bär was based on the modified chassis of the Tiger I and had 130mm frontal armour. It was to be armed with a 305mm KwK L/16 anti-tank cannon and powered by a 12-cylinder Maybach HL 230 P 30 engine (700 horsepower). According to the design, the vehicle would be operated by a 6 men crew - a commander, a gunner, two loaders, a radio operator and a driver.
Had the Sturmpanzer Bär been produced, its total weight would be 120 tons.

The JS-7 heavy tank, also known as the IS-7, was designed in 1948. With its mass equal to 68 tonnes it was the largest and heaviest specimen of the Joseph Stalin tank series. The JS-7 was distinguished by 130 mm S-70 long-barrel gun and thick armour able to protect against the German Pak 44 L/55. Besides, the JS-7 had a "pike nose" front that ensured a high level of protection against head-on attacks. Due to its 1050-hp engine, the tank could travel at 60 km/h.
Despite all its merits, the JS-7 never entered production; there were fears that railway platforms and bridges couldn't bear its weight.

£47.00 GBP
Trumpeter 1:35 - PLA Type 62 Light Tank - Plastic Model Kit #05537
The PLA Type 62 light tank, also known as the Norinco Type 62 or WZ131, was manufactured in China in the early 1960s. Its design originated from the Chinese Type 59, however, due to thinner armour and smaller 85 mm Type 62-85TC rifled gun its weight was reduced, which made it much more appropriate to the geographical environment of Southern China with its lakes, rivers and rice paddies.
The maximum range of the gun was 12,200 m and maximum aimed range was 1,870 m. The fire range could amount to 5 rpm. The Type 62 was additionally equipped with 12.7 mm Type 54 anti-aircraft heavy machine gun (a Chinese copy of 12.7 mm DShK 1938/46 heavy machine gun) and two 7.62 mm Type 59T medium machine guns. Another 7.62 mm Type 59T machine gun could be added to the left side of the turret hatch.
The Type 62 tank appeared on the battlefield during the Vietnam War, Ho Chi Minh Campaign and Sino-Vietnamese War, however eventually it was recognised as ill-equipped for warfare because of its thin armour and poor armament.
At present the Type 62 is withdrawn from use in China, however it still operates in other countries as fire support or against lightly armoured vehicles.

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet JS-1 Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #05587
The Soviet heavy tank JS-1, a modernised version of the KV-1 and KV-2 series, was put into service in the midst of the Second World War. High production rates and quick testing of the JS-1 resulted from the appearance of the newer German Panther and Tiger I tanks and the lack of adequate military equipment to fight against them. However, even after several modifications of its design, the JS-1 proved to be unsuccessful in combat because of its armament that was not strong enough to defeat German tanks. The JS-1 was soon replaced by the improved JS-2.
During the war, the JS-1 was also known as the JS-85, where "85" stood for the calibre of the tank gun, and "JS" - for Joseph Stalin (Russian: ИС - Иосиф Сталин). The JS-1 marked the beginning of the well-known "Joseph Stalin" tank line.

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet JS-2 Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #05588
After it became clear that the JS-1 was incapable of destroying the German Tiger and Panther tanks, Soviet engineers came up with an upgraded model of the JS series - the JS-2 heavy tank. The production of the early version began in 1943 in Chelyabinsk. The JS-2 was equipped with the D-25T gun, also known as the 122 mm gun, with higher armour-piercing qualities. In addition, compared to the JS-1 and its prototype models of the KV series, the JS-2 had thicker front armour and a muzzle recoil compensator. Besides, it was much lighter and faster.
The JS-2 and Tiger I were able to hit each other at a range of less than 1,000 m which was an average combat distance. Moreover, due to high-explosive fragmentation shells of the D-25T gun the JS-2 could do severe damage to the heaviest German tanks even without piercing their armour.
The JS-2 first saw combat in February 1944 during the Korsun–Shevchenkovsky Offensive. In spring of the same year JS-2 tanks destroyed up to 40 German tanks (including Tiger Is), 10 anti-tank guns and several AFVs.
After the end of the war, the production of JS tanks continued and in the 1950's remaining JS-2 units were modified to a new JS-2M version. In the late 1960's, when heavy tanks were replaced with medium tanks, the JS vehicles were no longer in active service with the Red Army.

In 1944, the model was modernised once again and renamed the JS-2M. The changes mainly transformed the chassis construction; the transmission and fighting compartments were relocated to the back of the tank. Later the same modifications were made to almost all JS-2 tanks remaining after the war.

There were two Soviet tanks named JS-4: Object 245 JS-4 and Object 701 JS-4. The Object 245 was an improved version of the JS-2 armed with 100mm D-10T cannon. The other JS-4 tank was a new design developed by the Kirov Plant in Leningrad. Also based on the JS-2, the Object 701 featured a longer hull and an additional set of road wheels. It was powered by a better engine and equipped with thicker armour on both the hull and the turret. A 122mm gun was used as an armament. The engine cooling system of the tank was adopted from the German Panther tank of WWII.
Batch production of the JS-4 lasted from 1947 to 1949. It was ended due to the tank's low speed and mobility. Only 250 units were issued, most of which were sent to the Russian Far East.

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet KV-8S Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #01572
The Soviet KV tanks were heavy tanks used by the Red Army during the Second World War. KV stood for Kliment Voroshilov, the Soviet politician and defense commissar. The KV tanks were famous for their heavy armour protection. The KV-1 was invulnerable to most German weapons except the 8.8cm Flak gun, until the Germans developed more effective guns. The KV-1 outclassed the French Char B1, which was the only other heavy tank in service at that time.
During the Winter War, the KV's proved to be highly resistant to Finnish anti-tank weapons, and the first order of 50 KV's was placed. However, the KV tank had serious flaws: it was difficult to steer, the transmission was unreliable, and the ergonomics were poor. These flaws were rectified with the introduction of the KV-1S. The KV-1S was lighter and had thinner armour and a smaller lower turret.
The KV-8S was based on the KV-1S and had an ATO-42 flamethrower (improved version of the ATO-41 used in the KV-1 and KV-8). However, after a few years it turned out that the expensive KV tanks could be replaced by the T-34 medium tanks which had a better performance. The KV series became a base for the development of the IS tanks (IS - Josif Stalin).

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet Object 268 Heavy Tank Prototype - Plastic model kit #05544
The Object 268 (Obiekt 268) was a Soviet tank destroyer manufactured at the Kirov Plant, Leningrad, in 1956. Its development was led by Joseph Kotin. The chassis of the Object 269 was designed on the basis of the T-10 heavy tank. The Object 268 was equipped with 152 mm M-64 cannon which ensured excellent penetration, high shooting accuracy and fast rate of fire. The tank destroyer successfully passed the tests, however it was never actually used on the battlefield because it lacked enough gun power to fight against newly-designed English Chieftain and American M60 Patton battle tanks.
