Another remarkable coincidence in both the timing and announcement of: 6438 - Sd.Kfz.164 Bergepanzerwagen IV which is from Dragon Models. Images can be seen:

Aww... I'm REALLY disappointed. I post the news of the OTHER one and everyone talks about this one. I post the news of THIS one and no-one wants to say anything.

Nowt as weird as folk...

Geez, looks good, even if I'm mainly interested in Allied things. But seems that I have missed something: what was the first announcement?

Although if you want to see images of the model and boxart not just a description you'll have to go ...



Just so we're clear, the Report on THIS site has exactly the same images that PMMS has. “Ostwind” images at the side, Bergepanzer IV images BELOW the text...

since a moment it all makes me think that DML has developed / is developing a lot of kits and keeps them quiet and waits an announcement from a competitor to throw it in.

nevertheless, great stuff

Amazing how Trump and Drag compete with each other like this..

When will they ever compete over a nice brand new M113??

When are Dragon and Trumpeter going to fight over a new LVT series? I think the kit is interesting but it would be more so with figures. I guess the Ostwind isn't too far behind. Lots of releases coming so I'll watch and wait.

Maybe we should have Trupm-DML comparison section here focused only on finding differences between the kits from these manufacturers... Like "Where's Waldo" or something like that...

Hi
Nice looking kit. Just love Panzer IV's.
From a quick look over this & the Trumpeter's offering I think unless I missed it in the decription the Trumpeter's is a better offering with the Interior & engine being included gives the builder more build options.
Still woudn't mind either in my collection.
Russ That would be nice if they could bring out some LVT's especially the LVT 3.
Keep this war going T & D it's great for us modellers.
