Thats great.
Shows how big the KV 1 is,that turret looks big on my T34,the KV1 makes the turret look small!

I was just thinking that. It looks too big on the T-34 hull but way too small on the KV1 hull.

The KVIS-85 turret was quite different to the T34-85 Turret. I'm sure Bubbajoexx will rectify that though.
