Status: online 		Just seem in this months MMI, A UK company have bought out a 1/16th kv2 (they have a KV1 also) which in the near future will also be available with radio control and metal tracks and suspension. The cost WITHOUT r/c is £230 ($460 as the pound hit $2 today). One hell of a kit in the Tamiya bracket I think, best start my piggy bank savings. The web site is www.cammett.co.uk

An expat buddy of mine is leaving for holiday in the UK this month & can carry one of these back with him right past China Customs.

I just accessed their website & see that the kits are all resin. Detail looks good, though. Have sent an email asking for more info.

His first one was snatched up and converted to RC. I have to say from my working with it, it is every bit worth that price!

Status: offline 		This is an old favorite, I had about 3 of these in 1/72 scale from Fujimi when I used to wargame in that scale. Fighting in that part of WWII was perilous for the germans, having early versions of the PZ IV, Stug III, PZ III and mostly issued with the 37mm door knocker and pak 40 a/t guns.
