| Ian, I don't think anyone makes one ( I could be wrong ), but what if you putty around the stock turret.

| You have to cut the rear corners off the tank with a belt sander, round off the front corners, make up plastic card to fill in the holes and get out the gallon of bondo.
There is also a lot more than needs to be done. I figure 6-8 hours... or, buy a turret if it's available. lol

| Juckenberg used to make a cast turret for the KV-1. I bought one from Welsh Dragon about 3 years ago, as I didn't want to try and convert the Heng Long one. They are no longer listed on that site, and I don't know who else may still be selling his kits, but it might be worth trying to search one out. -Mike |

| Thanks Mike.
Found it.
It appears to be on the site but no button to buy it, I have sent them an e-mail. We'll see.

| Update:
I e-mailed him as mentioned, he has agreed to make a turret for me. Should be done in about a week he said. Not cheap, but he is the only one with them. I will update with pics when it arrives. I should imagine it will be a few weeks.
Thanks for the lead Mike.

| That good to hear!
What will it be made of? Resin?

| Very cool! I do like the cast turret. Were they early or late KV production? I really don't know anything about them. _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT

| They are late production. They also have different wheels and idlers on the late production Kv's also.
