Great review.

Its disappointing to read about the soft details in places. The 85% score these days seems very average which is a shame because I love this tank and the Dragon kit is very expensive

Steven, try to wait for sales. You will be able to get Dragon 30-40% off.

I am just wondering where you got your info from re the bolts etc? If references are so rare how do you know the bolts are incorrect for this tank? With only 5 of these built each one of them was probably different.

Not trying to be critical of the review but we need some backup for statements that something is wrong with a kit.

Are those Model Kasten tracks included? They seem the right colour...

Hi There,

Well about the details. I have found a blueprint on the net for this tank. Not the one you will find if you type neubaufahrzeug on google. I have to look for it again.

About the tracks. These are not the on from Modelkasten. It is the same principle but manufactured by trumpeter.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for an interesting review.
I didn't know that dragon released one of these!?!?!?
Anyway - I have only seen this on photographs, and I think that this could be an interesting build.

Thanks again

Can anyone tell me how this kit stacks-up against the Dragon offerings? I'm really not too concerned about the price-point, but rather which is REALLY better.
