The "KV-2" kit is the standard KV-2 with the more common type of turret; about 250 or so were manufactured. Unfortunately, as others have noted, this kit suffers from too-wide fenders. It's not a showstopper but its something to consider.

The "KV Big Turret" is the initial production version of the KV-2, with a very different turret. Only a very small number of these were made. This kit has the correct width fenders.

Despite the fender issue I found all the Trumpter KV kits to be exceptionally fun to build and mostly very accurate.

Hope this helps.
