looks a beast of a kit ... it looks like it is retooled with a choice of vinyl or link and length tracks

they have also released their 1/72 Pershing tanks

Whats nice about that kit is all the spare parts! If you had an AIM from dragon you wanted the mine plow for, there ya go. Plus you can still use the other parts to build either a Panther or an A1 or an A2. The amount of possibilities in this kit make it very attractive.

Nope, nothing new-tooled and no new pieces. Their Abrams kits have always come with the option of vinyl or plastic tracks too. They have simply repackaged all their previously separate Abrams kit options into on box. A good idea, but still not up to the quality of the newest DML Abrams kits.
