Re: Tank 8 information
Even more odd, it was the only machine re-equipped with a PzIV barrel & mantlet.
There are only 3 known pictures of the real machine and it seems to have been a very dedicated field modification.
While not a perfect recreation of the period photographs, its still a really good version of it.

Re: Tank 8 information
As stated.
The base model of this is a Heng Long KV-1E, 27Mhz RX18 MFU. Pot metal gearboxes, otherwise all plastic sprockets, idlers and tracks.
Smoker unit runs to the rear of the tank instead of the exhausts on the hull (which are just for show and not usable for that. I had just gutted one of these tanks last night).
This one has been modified as mentioned into adding a german cupola to the turret roof and replaced the KV-1 barrel with a Panzer IV F2 barrel to represent a captured and re-cannoned unit. Not quite as per the real thing, but a simple change that looks fine.

Re: Tank 8 information
Now that's a keeper, unique, and worth upgrading the electronics and weathering a bit.
Re: Tank 8 information
This is one that I was thinking about keeping it’s a pretty great looking tank to me attract
