I guess the metal barrel is a plus.

Is it supposed to come with those two figures?

You have to remember, if you get it without the interior or the workable track, I think that the price is pretty good at around $25 (without shipping, of course).

For $25 you will get a RoG rebox of Zvezda KT at best.

Well, like I said.. this price is in HK and without shipping.

Look here at Hobbyeasy .. and this is just the base kit, without interior or the workable tracks.

Metal barrel will only be included into first batch as a bonus, a separate set of decal zimmerit is planned as well. Don't know about the figures...

It's a bit different how they did the upper hull and the turret.

Apparently, the so-called scale thickness of armorplates is mimicked in this kit. All in all,it has quite a number of parts for the price. Time will tell how well they fit. Surface texture imitation on the glacis looks good too.

Over on E-models the kit is sold separately,but looking at these photos the kit looks all in one.

https://www.emodels.co.uk/meng-model-1-35-king-tiger-sd-kfz-182-workable-tracks-mngsps-038.html

That comes to £78.77/$97.15
Think I will order the Takom kit
