im looking for info on the kv-7(turretless multi gun tank)
i have some good photos,discriptions and a limited history but what lack is any scale drawings espesilly top views as i have no idea on the roof layout

is there any small scale kits avalible? that i can use as reference
started making a prototype superstructure out of card ages back but got stuck down to lack of info its to much of an oddity not to be modeled

hi there DC

no roof pics but so info that may help ??

not sure if you have seen this info

http://www.battlefield.ru/en/tank-devel ... kv220.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

got that one

i may have to use some "artistic licence" with looking at that side view does suggest roof uses generic kv-1 turret components and gives some idea as to the location of the hatch+scopes

i would hate to build this and suddenly find an accurate blueprint and find im waaay off

hi there DC

have asked a mate in the former ussr ! to chect if he has any info about the roof ... his initial thought was it is
almost the same layout as a js-152 .. with the addition of a reah ' turret' door like that of the su-85 /100
so i take it the door is on the bach turret wall and on to the roof ....

i cant find the pic at the moment but i think the rear wall is solid with an mg mount just like the kv standard turret rear

found it... the mg mount has a slice off were a door/hatch would be it perhaps there was a door or one was planned??? there were 2 protoypes of this vehicle

hi there DC

thats quite a nice pic of the back end ....

an a very intersting subject too .... i see there are two versions .. one with two gun barrels and a second with 3 which one do you think you may build ?

i was going for the dual 75s as they were the same gun as standard kv so parts are easy plus you gotta love the twin barrel look
