This is another model from the haul of 1/48 scale Tamiya kits I brought from a model show. I had no idea what to do with it, I just liked it.

When I was looking for a quick, fun project, I grabbed this one and quickly decided to build it as the last KV-2 in active service that was photographed somewhere in Leningrad. The fenders were almost completely missing, it had additional steel plates welded to the hull, and sported a neat winter camouflage with huge red tactical numbers. Yummy!

It’s now a part of my “Heroes of Leningrad” diorama.
