I have my second Tamiya coming

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.
