That track jig looks ace!! They should make it out of aluminum though, I could see someone gluing the tracks to it since its the same plastic material.

The track jig looks like what came in the Bronco Pz IF. links on jig, pins in track and a touch of cement. You would seriously need to screw up to glue your tracks to the jig. I would also like one. I like nice things.

It's been a long time coming due to the upheavals suffered by the company caused by the fighting in Ukraine. Miniart have done astonishingly well to get this kit to market....

Did that with Trumpeter's T90; but imagine how much a milled piece of aluminium would cost?

Looking forward to this kit.

Now all we have to do is wait and see who gets them first, and at what price.

Just look at the complexity of this thing. You can definitely see why a simpler design quickly made it's way into production.

That's awesome. Definitely a must have (or maybe two...).

Can you see this Dragon? That's what I call a new kit... You may have noticed that it isn't another Stug Ausf. G...
