Not another new fantasy novel, but another exciting announcement from Dragon, a Priest, and not the type you pray too.

Thanks!

Since most of it comes from their mid-production kit it makes sense that they'd add the necessary bits for the early version! It'll be a welcome alternative to the Academy early M7...

(And the additional ammo is a nice touch!)

I'm waiting 1/72 scale version

I'm interested in the version used by the USMC in the Pacific. Anyone know which one that would be?

You knew that once the mid came out,there were going to be more to follow,but it's all good.

Photos in Concord's "US Armoured Artillery in WW2" show both early and mid versions being used in the Pacific by both Army and Marines.

A Priest,a dragon, and a modeler walked into a Local hobbyshop...

I want this kit. Lots of photos of the early version on Leyte and Luzon. Bill, I would think the early type were used by the Marines as they were readily available from Army stocks.

The only thing we have to watch is that a lot of the earlier versions were upgraded to later standards. A classic example is "All American", one of the choices for the current mid-production kit, which according to DML, had spoked road wheels, top mounted return rollers, and T49 tracks, all of which would be corrcet for a mid-production vehicle.

However, photos of "All American" show solid road wheels, T51 tracks and upswept trailing return rollers! The body, however, is still the early/mid version.

Russ, I'm translating that into Jarhead as "the Marines always got the Army's leftovers," LOL.

I want this kit!!

Looks like their other kit, but with just different tracks and you leave off the side plating by the ammo.

...and the owner said "What is this? Some kinda joke?"

I'll be interested to see what comes in the box. If they just add new parts (like the new hull side with shallow pulpit, or the toolboxes) and keep all the "mid" stuff too that'd be great. These Sherman-based machines were prone to ad-hoc upgrades and "mix & match" with newer parts, so the more the merrier!

Tom

Any way this kit comes I'm sure it will be good. I'm looking forward to it

Glad to see this one coming along.

How long is Dragon going to make me wait for an M10?
