Dragon has announced another German tank destroyer, this one a prototype that did not make it far out of the design garage.

More prototypes.
Dragon, you do know there are AFV's that were actually built and used in need of a quality representation. How about something in the form of a T37, T38, or T26 series. If you can't bring yourself to do early war Soviet then how about at least covering the early Panzer III (A thru D) series.

Not what I wanted, but it's German, so it will sell. I'm frustrated as there are announced releases I want to see, and this has already been released by Trumpeter. I'll just keep waiting.
Great nations do not fall because of external aggression; they first erode and decay inwardly, so that, like rotten fruit, they fall of themselves. The strength of a country is the sum total of the moral strength of the individuals in that country.

Is it just me, or does this vehicle look like a slightly larger version of an ASU 85

Maybe some russian designer got a peek at the drawings and thought, hmm, maybe if....
Well, just a thought.

I am very happy with that realising of that waffenträger. We should not forget that several were biuld and saw service in the closing days of war. The only thing I wont is the ardelt one which is offered by alan, azimut and S-Modell; but no one is correct or easy to build

Less people will whine and lady about accuracy in regards to a prototype.
cheers
One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Interesting, but man is that ugly! That big grille on the front looks off-putting! Neat kit, but I am not big on prototypes, save for the Porsche Tiger I...it's unique at least.....isn't that what we want?

I don't think so. There are sooooooo many real tanks that have been in service for decades that have yet to be produced in plastic.
