Thanks for posting it really helps collectors who don't have a local dealer who stocks CS to make comparisons especially with K&C. Brett at Military Workshop is soon to have CS and I can't wait to see first-hand.

Nah, go get the Figarti Abrams bud.... ^&grin^&grin^&grin

The only minor critique I guess I have with my KT is that it is slightly "boxy" in comparison to the KC one. otherwise, I strongly endorse getting it. I cannot comment on the zimmermit issues as I don't own one that has that. I can also say the turret is just fine and very pliable so if you want to reposition it slightly upwards you can do it without a problem.

Go ahead. Press the button. You won't regret it :salute::
If fund permits, I might get the Normandy version no zimm.

No problem. We don't have a local dealer here in Ottawa who carries CS stuff neither. I too just looked at online photos and checked out good comments from others who bought CS items, plus their reasonablly pricing, then decided to give CS a try. It turned out I like their products a lot.

You're a 100% right on taking on the comments and thoughts of others. And this is why the forum is fantastic. Along with others, you, Wayne and Mitch have now made me most confidant to buy CS and probably as early as tomorrow when I visit Brett to get my Jagdtiger. Thank you.

Okay, I decided to get the Henschel turret Normandy version #332 . It is sure to be a classic piece! Any opinions on this choice ??? :smile2:

It is a good choice. I have one on the way. It is an accurate model of a Tiger during the Battle of the Bulge (despite being labeled Normandy). It belonged to the Heavy Tank Battalion 101, attached to Peiper's Battle Group. It represents tank #2 of the 3rd platoon, 3rd company, commanded by SS Unterscharfuhrer Otto Blase. The tank was lost in action during the battle. All this info can be found down in the Historical Discussion section, under the thread Tiger 332. -- Al

I think 332 will be a classic model - IMO a good choice.

After a few bumps in the road that caused delay in purchasing, I finally got the CS Henschel KT turret #332, no zimm, today and I must say that I am very pleased with it. The CS quality is, as usual, excellent with great detail and paint job. Tracks are great (as is the damaged track option) with the usual crisp detail. Looks great next to the CS Porsche turret model I purchased some while back. These CS KT's are just a great deal at today's prices, especially for what the customer is getting. Great job, CS. -- Al

Thanks, KV. A note on size for those wondering. The CS KT's are very similar in size to the KC Henschel turret KT and thus work well together. The CS are noticeably larger than the older KC Porsche turret KT's and won't work together. -- Al

I think the quality of the CS konigstigers they will all be future classics. Don't know if that equates to increase in price but, then I don't really care about increase in stuff I have

If meaning when compared to the Bulge KC KT, the CS is a tad larger in width and height. Length is equal. The difference in height is there but not real noticeable. The CS KT is wider measured from track to track and fender to fender but not enough to ruin a display with both in it, IMO. Both the KC and CS KT's are nice models, with the CS having better detail. The CS and KC Bulge KT are both noticeably larger than the older KC Porsche turret KT's. -- Al

Love TCS WW11 line, big fan, have all the Normandy line except figures, all vehicles great with K&C figures working to compliment. Could not fault the vehicles, would have them over any other maker. Other makers get a look in simply because TCS has not produced their variants yet. Cheers, Robin.
