Trumpeter KV-122 Soviet Heavy Tank

Trumpeter is set to release a Soviet Heavy Tank, KV-122, mass produced as the IS-2. The tank is equipped with 122mm cannon. It is also replacing the KV-85.

The KV-13 program’s KV-85 prototype was accepted for production as the IS-1 heavy tank. After testing with both 100 mm and 122 mm guns, the D-25T 122 mm gun was selected as the main armament of the new tank, primarily because of its ready availability and the effect of its large high-explosive shell when attacking German fortifications. The KV-122 replaced the KV-85, and began mass production as the IS-2.
