A new 1/35 scale model on the way from Dragon, and no it is not a Panzer IV. It is now time for a little tank hunting.

I like it. It is something different from the recent releases.

Cool! I think...
Actually, I think the old/current kit (6262) is pretty nice - even if it does have a few small dimensional issues with the sides and angles on that gun-shield. And in common with other DML Panzer II kits... a goofy sprocket with 1 less tooth then expected... Still, it seems pretty adequate, to me! (and if you don't tell anyone about the sprocket...)
So here is a new kit... how much has been changed and updated? What would be really nice would be for Dragon to be including a new, complete and correct 26-tooth sprocket... but this could cause pitch-problems with those tracks...
I'll be waiting to see this come around and maybe even touch one - like for a review or something!
IF the D is playing around in "Pz. II territory" again, maybe he'll see his way over to the D versions... Hope springs (naiively) eternal!

This release is welcome and will sit very well next to my Panzerjager 1 and Marder 3M
