Good news indeed, even without the newly tooled bits! I'll have to add one (or more) of these to the stash...

Pat, any timeline from Dragon when they will release it?
Will it be within the next month or 2?

This is my favourite tank.... with the mickey mouse hatch.
I already build 2 of this T34/76 1943 kit from Tamiya but it is dated something like 1976...
I cannot wait for the Dragon ones...

Very *(%)#&% well put. It is about time! Looks like a good one too. How about the SU-122 (hint)?

Interesting that they took a step back to the Urals group of factories instead of the Zavod 112 versions they've favoured recently.

Looks good !!
I hope they get around to doing the beutepanzer version with the sideskirts and Pz.kpfw. cupola.
And a new SU-122 would be nice too !!
Cheers

Great! Now if they could do the Factory 112 large turrets for the T-34/85, all would be right with the world.
