Soviet's company

There are around five KVs in the group, comprising of four KVIs and a single KVII. Not to mention one T34.
Brief history of the KVs
The KVs were Red Army's heavy tanks during WWII, named after Soviet defense commissar Kliment Vorosilov. The tanks were superior compared to German workhorses of Panzer III and Panzer IV during Operation Barbarossa (22nd June 1941), and continued to be so until Germany finally manufactured and deployed their first heavy tank the Tiger I tank, which was first deployed in a relatively small company at Leningrad as part of Germany's plan to cut off the city from Moscow.
Here is a line up of KVs, taken during our recent meet on 7/12/2015 at Rimba Park. On the background are German King Tigers and a line of U.S tanks. We will get into those tanks.

The KVII heavy tank. This is owned by Saiful, who worked on scratchbuilding the turret and mounting it on an existing Heng Long's standard KVI hull. It's the only KVII for now.
