Hi folks,

It is a shocking price, even at £300! About 2 years ago I bought the FoV KT that came in a wooden crate with full interior detail etc, figures and other diorama-suitable parts (fuel drums and tank traps). I got it with the intention of RC'ing it.

I have modified a few bits over the years, but it is still a "work-in-progress" that will probably never get completed (just like the DiD Krad - sorry Tony!)

If you want a full-interior KT, I would recommend you get the FoV KT off EBay from a disgruntled, frustrated owner for half the price......But mine is _not_ for sale - I still cling on to the hope of making it RC!

PS But in hindsight I should have used the ~£180 I paid for it to get the Matorro KT, or put it towards a Tamiya KT.....

I saw this kit at the IPMS Nationals at Telford in November. It's quite impressive but no more so than the T34 variants with full interiors, which sold at around £80. I don't see how they can justify the price based on what I saw. There are still bargains around as I picked up a T34/76 1943 model just before Christmas for £40, so Santa came early.
