Two new kits are on the way from Dragon Models, and while they may look familiar, there are a few updates that may be worth the second look.

he he he - the old Panzer IV cliche -- think DML have brought out more "versions" than the whole panzerwaffe ever fielded in battle !
this makes up for the one that came out earlier kit 6526 - That should have had the zimmerit coat on it - suppose??
In any case one of the best armour models for enjoyment, build and detail - to me anyways

Well, given the high cost of AM Zimmerit sets, I'd say that molded-on will be popular. And the Normandy option is also going to be a hit with many, so it might seem like "Oy, ANOTHER Pz. IV?" but it's not.

This is one that I am definately interested in, the Ausf.H with zim would be a nice addition to the collection.

I hope that they have taken a better look at the 25pdr this time as I found the earlier offering disappointing. However I am sure that the Pz.Kpfw.IV will be very good as it is something they do very well.

The only difference I can see, is the one you mentioned is Late Production, and this new kit is Mid-Production. Maybe one of the Panzer Experts could pipe in and tell you the difference between the productions.

WOW what a cool coincidence, I built this subject from a Tamiya kit with the exact same markings some years back! The caption in the Sqadron "Walk Around" from which I copied the subject sais it was a "late war J series"

I'm JUST finishing 2 DML 6560 kits(both 2nd panzer div) To those unfamiliar but curious, these kits can be challenging and, by extension, extremely gratifying. I Can't get enough of Normandy subjects.. I love Ron Volstad's artwork so much..
