ESCI tooled this kit in 1975, as other kits by the Italian brand, was released during 70s under Revell-ESCI, Hasegawa, Polistil and also under the Aurora/ESCI.

This kit was later released under Italeri brand as Italeri – 7049 – KV-1 m41.

The kit includes the typical single piece tracks without interior detail that you may want to replace if choose to build this kit, which otherwise, is quite nicely detailed and comparable in many aspects to the later PST or Trumpeter kits. Both PST and Trumpeter did a better coverage of the KV tanks family, and those would be the natural choice nowadays to build a KV-1C tank.
