KV-2 (1940) Heavy Artillery Tank

Model Description:
This download contains a highly detailed model of a 1940 model KV-2 equipped with the 152mm M-10 howitzer. Documentation and references for the real vehicle were rigorously studied to make the model as geometrically accurate as possible, except in the cases where printability would have to be sacrificed (such as the fender thickness).
 
The model is designed for resin 3D printing comes natively in 20mm (1/72) scale and includes a supported version for this size. Furthermore, the files are pre-hollowed, reducing the material requirements, improving the probability of print success, and ensuring no voids are present within the geometry.
 
The file is designed to be detailed enough to hold up well at larger scales however, including the common 28mm (~1/56) scale. Larger scales will have to be manually supported at present, however a future goal of TCR designs is to include supported files for larger scales, as well as a less-detailed version designed to function on FDM (filament) printers. It is important to note that the vehicle is quite large, and may not fit on smaller resin printers, even at 20mm scale.
 
The model at its native scale took roughly 8 hours to print on an "Anycubic Photon Mono 4K" printer and has the following dimensions:
Length - 3.75" (95mm)
Width - 1.76" (45mm)
Height - 1.44" (37mm)

Historical Description:
The KV-2 was a heavy assault tank developed by the Soviet Union during World War 2. The vehicle was well armored for the time, which was necessary considering how large a target the 52-ton vehicle was. The vehicle was meant to destroy enemy fortifications and server more as artillery than as a tank. The vehicle was not considered particularly effective due to its size, as well as poor speed and maneuverability. Furthermore, the turret could only turn on level ground. Due to these shortcomings only 334 were produced.
 
In Armored Advance:
In armored advance the KV-2 is poorly armored for its cost. The primary niche of the vehicle is its ability to knock out enemy infantry, as well as do very significant anti-tank damage if it finds itself in range of something that it can penetrate. The gun does have a one-turn downtime between firing due to the weight of the ammunition.
