Hi gang,

The King Tiger will be released in the 1st quarter of '09. The other day Foxhole Toys received an actual production-release KT photo, which was quickly snapped for us by one of the reps at 21st C. and at their US office. It's spot on with the previously released manufacturer's photo.

To view the side by side photos please follow this link and scroll down to Photo #11:

We also asked if the turret will be removable & detailed like the Tiger. The answer is "sorry no turret detail".

Have a safe & great weekend!

Thanks for the update on the KT. Even with no interior detail this tank is still a winner!

I SAW THE KING TIGER AT I HOBBY AND THE 21ST HONCHO SAID "MAYBE BY THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2009"
ITS A VERY NICE TANK!

I'll probably get the King Tiger when I get the chance in the UK somewhere.
