I went to see it back in 2015, Frank (my son lives in Switzerland, conveniently). At that time, the KT looked like the biggest kit you would ever wish to undertake building. I took a few other pics, apart from these two.

The Swiss Military Museum, at Full, is an absolute must-see if you get the chance to go there.

Topper and 43 Recce: "[T]he KT looked like the biggest kit you would ever wish to undertake building." I wonder if my tweezers would be heavy enough.
Ahem...thank you for the tip on the Swiss Museum at Full. I was totally unaware of it.

usually I'm almost once a year there because it's only an 2h drive from my home to the museum.
There is a lot of stuff to see:

Great photographs
The first time we visited Thun was in 2008 the year before 2007 the KT was removed,
I remember you told me that your son lives in Switzerland, I really do envy your son, if we had the money,we would move there today!!!!!

no prob, I'm living directly in front of the Swiss borderline.
BTW Thun is a good spot too; they have a lot of old refusbished tanks in running condition (for instance a original Renault FT-17)
