HENGLONG KV1

Post by Abo »

Just checked "that other site" (please don't punish me) and there is mention of Heng long releasing a KV1 with a thread to a german site ( www.mmodell.de/ ) . Anyone with any knowledge? Appears to have come straight out of left field with everyone talking about the Sherman and not a lot else.

Must admit would be great news as I'm sure the turret for a KV2 wouldn't be too far behind as an option, imagine one of those ugly great pigs in your collection!

Rob,

Will this mean we will have an upgraded gearbox that is almost a direct drop in for the T-34?

rumours of a kv1 has been about for awhile mmodell have got some nice pic's of it, the tracks, drives, & idlers have been out for awhile now, and thats a good indication that the tank will follow in time, i think it will be released in august, or atleast thats what they are saying

According to RCCOMMAND on the other site they will be ready for release the middle of this month!!! Of course, from experience, we've learnt to take such comments with a pinch of salt.....be nice though!

Well Bill did post a pic, so its not to far away from coming out...
It looked a bit toy like compared with their latest stuff, but I guess they can always 'rough up' the tooling a little to get rid of the shiny plastic finish...
