We had a batch of new kits arrive from China, and we were falling over with laughter at the 'not proof read' English translations, here they are, exactly as written, both in spelling and grammar;

RUSSIN KV-2 TANK

produce at the same time in the KV-1 model 1941 ,the KV-2( Also be called the year in KV-2 model 1941) also thew in the production. The KV-2 characteristic is its quick-fried tower shape. The quick fried tower that equip 152mm howitzer reports the hexegon keeps the square form, resembling an enormous box. But, it is said because of the excess, if not on the horozontal plane, dry by heat the tower connect to revolve all and very difficult. Because of such weakness, KV-2 is in actual battle, only used for proceeding to the virtuous soldier the thermodynamic power inhibit, but need not in the battlefield that hour of backstroke break water.


:yikes:

The kit itself is superb, but they really ought to check the translation when running it through their software!!!!! :hehe:
