Hmmmm

Porsche -ish turret body looks so so wheels and tracks garbage .

But maybe something to work with.

Fascinating. Great find!

Is the KT the 21C mold?

Also, the Panzer IV has some new tweaks like the tubular rear idler. Is it an updated 21C RC mold or a 1/16 IV mislabeled as 1:18..

No, the 21C Tiger II looked good, and had the production turret. Not the earlier turret Krupp designed for Porsche's failed prototype. Why they built them before Porsche's tank was greenlit is beyond me, but we got two Tiger II's to build out of it.

Little different from the old one they sell. Looks to be better detail, and no side skirts.
