Still waiting here in the UK. They are officially released on 22/6/07 but Tankzone still says due June/July. I have one pre-ordered from Jumblies Models where they say they will be in stock Wednesday 11th July and they are charging £5 deposit on a pre-order and £8.95 full price which includes p&p in the UK.

According to Ebay both the KV-2 and Centaur are already available in the US, not so in Europe.

Regarding the KV-2, the following link may be of interest for those interested in this vehicle:

This must be the biggest collection of KV-2 pictures anywhere! Please note that none of these KV-2s have any slogans. While all model manufacturers agree on the "Za Stalina!" (For Stalin!) slogan for their KV-2s, I've read somewhere that no single original photo supports this. This site seems to support such statement against the "Za Stalina!" thing. Interestingly, the next KV-2 model announced by HM, in what seems a disruptive scheme of green and whitewash, is again exhibiting this same "Za Stalina!" slogan for which there is seemingly no evidence available. Is that a habit?
