Tamiya 32538 - 1/48 Russian KV-2 Gigant  [32538]

A Battlefield Monster

After the creation associated with KV-1 heavy tank, the Soviets produced a variant model armed with a short-barreled 152mm howitzer mounted in an impressively large turret. The alleged KV-2 heavy assault tank had been intended to target bunkers alongside enemy strong points following classes discovered in war with Finland, but was implemented to blunt the German advance into Russia. It's dense armor was invulnerable to everything except the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, leading German soldiers to offer it the nickname "monster."
