Dedicated to the blessed memory of Soviet tankmen who bravely fought and died in battles for their Socialist Motherland.
The camouflage history of the tank is very interesting and has a prototype. In April 1942, a group of Soviet poets, writers and artists decided to purchase a heavy tank with this money and donate it to the Red Army. This gift was a heavy tank KV-1, which was given the name “Besposhchadnyi” (Merciless), on its board the artists depicted a tank shooting at Hitler. The vehicle and its heroic crew fought until the autumn of 1943, when the tank was again hit in action and beyond repair. I decided to transfer the heroic image of the KV-1 “Merciless” to his older brother – the legendary Soviet giant KV-2. I replaced the image with another one, also owned by the Kukryniksy, added Marshak’s poems, otherwise only personal imagination and love for details worked.
