I'd love this seeing as how they have in my opinion stepped up quality. They need to make me an infared capable KT at least . The Panther G and Jagdpanther were great and an all around 180 from the early Tiger 1's thyey came out with and that hidious beast they called a "Panther".

Panther G

It's on it's way next.

[:-]Wonderful. Finally, Heng Long might actually fix Matorro's epic fail. I am in no way downing Matorros products iI'm just saying their KT was't quite ready for the market. This is based on their incredibly weak airsoft gun [&o].

Panther G

Well your  prayers are going to be answered soon. The KT is the next scheduled release.

This is way off topic but does anyone happen to know when Bill will have his website updated? I really don't want to bother him with emails so I decided I'd ask anyone here.

Panther F

Do you think it'll have that bump on the lower glacis? Will it be the first HL with zimm?

Seems oddly familiar.

Oddly familiar is right. The picture that the Radio Control Store (from googly's link) has of this KT looks a lot like the Matorro version. Check it out.

And what I find interesting is at the bottom of the model's description..........following the standard Heng Long stuff........is this little ditty:

"This product was added to our catalog on Thursday 02 August, 2007."

2007? Are we sure that the Radio Control Store is selling a Heng Long tank in this ad?

I get so confused at my age! []

lol no they aren't selling it. Thats an old ad for the Matorro KT that they advertised as a Heng Long. Oh and yes I'm sure ti will come with zimmerit

bigskydude

Great....yet another version of the same tank that is already on the market........at least it will save me some money as I'm waiting for something "new" to hit the market.....maybe something British(remember them HL/Tamiya??)those were the "other" good guys.

I haven't got one, so Maybe a Heng long quality one would get me to open my wallet, but where are the Comets, and Valentines. I would buy mulitples of those.

Another KT just isn't exciting to me

"Heng Long Qaulity" Who would have thought anyone would be saying that. They sure have got better then they used to be.

I know. It's like its own oxy-moron. "Heng Long quality", now there is something you don't hear everyday.

Well when they started they had no where to go but up. it's a steep climb but there climbing it.

Right you are. Anyone heard of a release date for this KingTiger yet?!!?

Wight

Personaly I am looking forward to seeing Heng Long's version of the King Tiger.
At least it will come with an RX18 fitted and metal gearboxes,hopefully.
Also I am hoping it will not have the same overscale zimmerit as the matorro,smooth armour please Mr Long,at least then we can apply our own zimmerit if we choose.
You never know,they may even do a Porsche turret version.
A friend of mine has both the Tamiya KT and Matorro KT and I've always been impressed by they're size,I will be very tempted to buy a Heng long version as I know my friend will buy one,he just likes KT's.

Yeah same here. I just love the KT. Its my favorite tank besides my 007 Tiger 1.

I too am looking forward to seeing this offering.

Been looking at the Tamiya KT, but really only want it for a shelf queen. If this release ups the bar even more over the last few HL releases, it should be a decent piece. A good HL offering will certainly make the Tamiya KT less attractive in my eyes.

BiggTony

Ain't that the truth! I'd be less likely to spring for the Tamiya Sherman right about now if it was certain that HL was putting that out before a KT.....especially if it were an M4A4.

bowlman

And another Question is will Asiatam make a metal lower hull for it most likely .

Panther F

Oh, come on Tony and spring for the Tamiya Sherman RIGHT NOW man! You know you just can't have one Sherman.

Probably a cost issue, but I really wish they'd start turning the Asiatam hulls out in steel. Better paint adhesion/realism, more weight, better strength, etc.

If they are listening....

PanzerAce

My Feedback: (1)

Yeah, Heng Long should do well on this KT. Maybe they won't put that unsightly bulge in the front. [:@] That and I'd like to see a steel chassis from Aisiatam, it would definetly make it more rigid.

Spitvalve

Hmmmmm, I was kinda hoping the marketing guru at Heng Long (also, I believe, the chief crooked gluer-oner of the Tiger 1 commander's cupola) would've assumed that anybody that wanted a KT would've bought a KT from either Tamiya or Matorro by now. Time for Mato to win some fans by releasing a Grant, Priest, or M10. I know I've got a cash supply that was set aside for something new, not something that's been out for years and on offer by two companies. Apologies to KT fans out there.

Mike.

No offence taken. It's just my favorite tank. I can't help it [8D].

I love the KT's, That being said I think they could have been a bit more creative with there choice.
