ARK35021 - ARK Models 1/35 KV-9 Russian Heavy Tank 

The KV-9 was a 1941 attempt to give the KV heavy tank real punch against fortifications, mating a 122 mm U-11 howitzer to a KV-1 hull in an enlarged turret. It came out of the same thinking that eventually produced the KV-2, but with a far more practical turret. Only a single prototype was built and tested before the programme was dropped, making this an unusual subject alongside the more familiar KV variants.
