Merlin,
When you get around to having a KV-2, you will see that the chassis is just a smidgen shorter as Alpha says, than the Tiger II. You'll also see that the KV-2 is taller and not by a Smidgen. ;o) Stalin's Giants, indeed. Enjoy that King Tiger. It is everything a that comes to mind with the word, 'tank'.
regards,
Painless

I pulled the trigger on the King Tiger last night so hopefully it will be here just after Xmas.

Hopefully it is as good as the videos I've seen.

Wow, you must have a very sympathetic partner to be allowed that kind of space in the living area! My better half is not even sure I should be allowed the box room to work/store in! That is one magnificent collection not to mention the very sizeable investment. Hope you have that lot insured as some of it must be irreplaceable. Cheers. Alwyn

Hi Horses thanks for the pictures, I can't wait for it to arrive, I went with the desert coloured version which is Torro's new variant with 360 turret rotation and black steel gears.

Great collection too I'm very impressed.
