Box art is out, so this will probably be the next US kit release (they also have the revised Tiger to ship shortly).

Still no sign of it on Dragon's site, they only have the Tiger and M1A1SEP listed for release in June so far, but its still early in the month yet....

Carl,
Isn't the M4 mortar carrier based on the M2 half-track?
The M3 mortar carrier was the M21 I seem to remember.

LHS told me today, that his suppliers said Dragon M3/M3A1 will be in late July. I can't wait. Just got the M4 and it's nice.
