The English also got their WW1 tanks out of the Museum at Bovington and
placed them as static defences in case of invasion after
Dunkirk.

KCM have probably had their day in Tank combat !

I have a Hetzer with 2 KCM's and while it goes OK on Tarmac Concrete soil
and lawn length grass I have found it does not have the power to cope
with long tufty grass , it can just drive in a straight line and turns
only with great difficulty and cannot do a neutral turn. 

[4 KCM's in the supply vehicles have sufficient power] 

Mountings/drive are easy especially if you get the wheels that came with
the toy they were attached to.
