I am in with Tamiya's very fine rolling bunker kit, otherwise known as the KV-2.

Thanks, guys! Yeah, can't go wrong with the mobile-rolling-cheese- block-turret-bunker concept. Just don't hand crank the turret on a gradient. Oh wait, the turret can't be turned on a gradient.

Thanks, Marco! So this has been an easy, build so far (which I needed). Only down side was punch marks on the bottom of the sponsons. The outer ones would be visible so I covered them with a strip of tape sealed with ultra-thin CA glue. The lower hull is metal and wheels and suspension were very easy to assemble.
Got everything glued together and threw some primer on it. Just have a few spots to touch up.
