Re: New KV-2s coming!

I think I can happily let the plain green one pass me by as it has no weathering and the other one is just too inaccurate with regard to the slogan.

I bought the original Za Stalina KV-2 because at the time I was just desperate to have a good KV-2 in my collection and love the look of that monster. Since then I have bought the winter whitewash camo KV-2 and I think this is my favourite, certainly beats the plain green one as it has a 'weathered' appearance.

I have seen a lot made of the fact that there are no historic KV-2 photos which show a slogan on the side. While this may be so I do wonder why this is the case as the contemporary KV-1 has plenty of photographic evidence for slogans - even the Za Stalina slogan! Anyone know exactly why the KV-2's were never given slogans ?
