need German Pz.Kpfm KV-I 756(r) Tank photos
I have this Tamiya KV-I and I would like to convert it to the one the Germans of the 563 rd panzer div. had and had replace the main gun with there 7.5 40/43, late muzzle break installed into the heavy cast turret type and the use of a panzer IV copula etc. but I am unable to find any good photos of her from many of the sites I have searched. and the 1/35 trumpeter model I have of her is not as well made for refinance as I thought it might be. there is a lot that was over looked with this model.so if someone can send me a picture or the site that has this picture I will be grateful. ? Is there any one making the cast turret for the KV-I you know of,if so who. if not I will make an attempt to make my own. thanks

Hi,
I just Googled under 'German KV1 Tank and this site was one of the first hits...I think that it also has the Panzer IV cannon fitted.............Makes it a much better tank when it is 'safely' in German hands
......Keep reading down the post about the T34 factory captured INTACT by the Germans

Thank you for your reply and added info,It seems that there is only this one picture of this KV-I with the mounted L40/43 and copula. So far I'm on a good stare gathering the materials or equipment that will be needed for this modification that I will start in as a winter build. I will be painting it the tri-color of yellow,brown with some green.
