DAMAGE REPORT!
The KV-1 is the one I would let Kids play with as they didn't need to worry about the barrel smacking into anything before the chassis enviably hit it. its had many bumps and battles with the garden furniture and even had the Tiger 1 drive over it. needing a bit of tidying up now. I think I'll also give it the water proof treatment so It can go and play in the puddles.

How do you find it runs with the saggy, very Russian-looking tracks you've set up on it? Obviously metal tracks so I guess the weight helps with the look.
Great looking tank by the way!
Mike.

no issues. Another reason its the kids play tank, its very rare that I need to reseat the tracks. I also let them use the Taigen Tiger. I also run them loose but with the logic of - its going to slip so I have them loose so its supper easy to pop back on

My Taigen KV chassis tanks run well with loose tracks...proper Russian style.

Stu‘s munchkins are really nice, so I suspect they were as careful with the KV as their youth would allow. Nonetheless, that‘s a well tested and sturdy beast, on its way to heirloomhood. (Ooh, I devented a word.)
