Amewi KV-2 Tank Professional Line 1:16

The KV-2 (Russian КВ-2), named after the Minister of Defence at the time of the introduction of the KV series, Marshal Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov, was a Soviet heavy tank that was used in World War II from 1941 to 1942.

The KV-2 was developed on the chassis of the KV-1 when the Soviet General Staff required a tank with heavy armament to fight fortified positions and bunkers. To meet this requirement, the turret was greatly enlarged to accommodate a shortened 152 mm artillery gun. The tall silhouette of the vehicle now required reinforced armour on the turret to withstand the expected heavy fire. As a result, the combat weight of the KV-2 increased to 57 tons and its top speed fell to less than 30 km/h. The only Soviet variant of the KW-2 was the KW-2b, which was not based on the chassis of the KW-1, but on the chassis of the improved KW-1A.

The AMEWI Edition is a faithful replica in 1:16 scale, delivered in a solid real wood box in the representative style of a natural-coloured ammunition box. RTR - Ready-To-Run. The tank has a smoke and sound function as well as a lighting system for an even more convincing experience. The firing function is carried out using a push button, which can fire 6mm BB hard plastic projectiles up to 15m. The cannon can be moved up and down, all control functions are proportional and can therefore be controlled sensitively.

The model also has an infrared combat module, which allows duels with other tanks from this Amewi Edition. If an opponent hits it directly, the tank is visibly shaken once. The model is powered by two powerful motors that transfer their power to the drive wheels via a multi-stage metal gear. The gear is also encapsulated (covered) on the inside.

All wheels on the chassis are connected to the chassis with metal swing arms and are dampened. The entire running gear (wheels) and the tracks are also made of metal. This true-to-original model with its olive-green paint is in no way inferior to the real tank.

All components are state-of-the-art (electronics TK 7.0). With a modern 7.4V Li-Ion battery with 1800mAh. A suitable 220V plug charger is of course included in the set. The model was tested for functionality before packaging and a functional report is included. Delivery is in a solid wooden box with a precisely fitting Styrofoam core.
