KV-2 Russian Tank - Battle Damage (resin)

KV-2 Bunker Busting Russian Tank - STL

This is a highly detailed 3D model of a battle damaged KV-2 Russian Tank modelled by 3D fortress, prepared and distributed under license by Digital Taxidermy

The Russo-Finnish war proved the soundness of the decision to manufacture the KV-1. However, when encountering difficulties on the heavily fortified Mannerheim line during the Winter War in Finland, the General Staff demanded a specially equipped version fitted with a heavy howitzer, intended to deal with concrete bunkers, in support of the regular KV-1 units. Instead of choosing the more pragmatic solution of a traditional SPG, they decided to use the same turret ring to accommodate a fully traversed, redesigned turret that housed the gargantuan howitzer. This gave the KV-2 an unmistakable profile, with its towering turret, which was only accessible by a ladder – an obvious target which was also notably top-heavy, compromising the lateral stability of the tank while crossing a sloped terrain, a problem which would later haunt Soviet tank crews. All these deficiencies were taken into account when the factory was relocated in the new “Tankograd” complex at the steps of the Ural. However, production was no longer maintained. Only 203 were built in all from late 1939 to mid-1941.

This STL file is a multipart model, at 28mm scale it can be printed on a resin printer

Supports are required for this model.

The printed model measures approx.:

67mm x 150mm x 67mm @28mm scale

We have a handy calculator for resizing files for 3D printing over at scale-converters

It is designed for 28mm table top games set in WW2 such as:

Bolt Action, Chain of Command and Konflikt ’47. It can also be used in games such as Judge Dredd, Necromunda, and Fallout Wasteland Warfare.

Print in place parts may need some work to loosen them up after print. Once free, run them through full travel several times to wear them in.
