Curious that - I was talking with another manufacturer about that one in Nuremberg

Wow! Cool, I want one. I hope it's all new and not the old ALBY molds.

Why would it be? Everything Masterbox has produced has been their own mastering. They're at the top of their game - why would they suddenly change now?

Yeah Jim, you're right. Never mind. Well, now I really look forward to this kit!
I have the Masterbox Pz. IA kits and they're very well done!

I'll wait for the Dragon one, it will be much better!

Seriously though, it is great to see companies realising a market exists beyond every Panzer ever built (and many that weren't). MB have been a great source of alternate subjects and even when they do the mainstream stuff (Germans) they put a fairly unique spin on it that sets them apart .
Well done and another kit to the waiting list. I love the early war stuff and seriously hope that someone will continue on the Brit and French lines. A nice Mk VI light tank would be something to cherish in plastic (Come on tamiya, you know you want to do it and fix up the Carrier tracks at the same time)
Cheers
