Markocaster,
You can have your cake and eat it too....KV-2 that is. ;o) Available as the Soviet version and a nifty version of a German 'capture' Beute' panzer, the 754(r) Also, coming soon, the 1939 'Big Barn' turret version in 3D print, compliments of Giganaut, a Forum member here.
regards,
Painless

Juckenburg does it, along with the theoretical Objeck 140? which is the upgraded ISU 152, again based on the KV 1 chassis.

I've also seen an SU 122 (T34 hull) on ebay but there's something off with the kit - maybe the mantle? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Conversation-ki ... 1501892509 Maybe not as bad in the images there, looked much worse yesterday?
SU 100 with the revised cupola from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252208786535? ... EBIDX%3AIT may be a better buy though? But harder to drive with the gun sticking out that far.

LOL...you should have got it on Black Friday or during December...Mato had a Free ship sale going on...But since that is moot...here is a Cali seller on EBAY
http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Stock-1-16-S ... SwPhdVGMPZ
Make the guy an offer...they are really flexible...I got my M1 from them ..and they sent it fast ...to you I think it would be faster :D
It's the Pro model...so metal everything...and the new 3rd gen 2.4 rig ;)


ALPHA

PS. I would try an offer of 230 ;)
