Russian USSR KV-2 Winter (6870382)

This ready-made Artitec model reproduces a Soviet KV-2 heavy tank in a heavily worn winter-whitewash finish. Uneven white and gray coverage allows areas of the underlying green coating to remain visible, while chipped edges, rust tones, darkened recesses, grime, and weathered tracks give the hull and turret a convincingly field-used appearance.

The model’s defining feature is the enormous high-sided turret carrying a short, large-caliber 152 mm howitzer. Additional details include the armored gun mantlet, open circular roof hatch, turret handholds and access panels, radio antenna, front tow cables, rear-deck stowage, spare track links, hull fittings, and the KV series’ broad tracks and six-road-wheel suspension.

Artitec's Ready-Made models are handcrafted from high-quality resin and produced in limited runs. Each model is expertly preassembled, hand-painted, and often subtly weathered to recreate the appearance of a real vehicle in use. Because every model is finished by hand, small variations may occur, making each piece unique.

Artitec uses vacuum-cast resin to reproduce exceptionally fine, true-to-scale details that can be difficult to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Etched-brass parts are added where appropriate to capture delicate components and further enhance realism.

Each model is assembled, painted, and weathered by skilled specialists—a process requiring considerable time, precision, and experience. Artitec Ready-Made models are ideal for collectors seeking exceptional detail and realism without the time and effort required to build and finish a model kit.
