I won off eBay yesterday the 1/16 motorized static model ofthe King Tiger- the onw that comes with the duffel bag. It is unbuilt, still in kit form but is missing a couple of parts. The seller had used the aluminum barrel and the non-stepped mantlet for another project. But he has sweetened the pot for me with steel tracks from Stella and the R/C guts from a first gen KT - the single motor gearbox, turret and cannon movement assemblies, even the cannon strobe. Needless to say, I'm excited! I will have to really fight myself- I get my first gen Sherman for Christmas, and need to dsmantle it to nuts and bolts to restore it before I can dedicate to the KT.

I hope everyone has a Tankin Great Christmas! I will.

The seller said he had taken the aluminum cannon barrel and the non-stepped mantlet. Anlthough it is coming with the plastic barrel, I will be buying the aluminum one for the assembly. Beyond that, it is supposed to be complete and then some. But thanks!   ;D ;)  I will let you know if I need something.
