Thanks!

I'm always looking forward to another KT from any manufacturer. Getting that out of the way, here is pre-release lady Nos.1, 2, 3 and 4:

1. As with other "late/last" kits, no friggin' fuel vent lines (four, to be exact) modeled or included.

2. It's impossible to make out from the photos if the pilzen locations were relocated; or, if the rear hatch is the simplified version which were found on later production vehicles.

3. One would think that at least ONE kit manufacturer would do its homework when researching. Other than the engine deck latch and the reverse ribbed front fenders, there's nothing about this kit that makes it stand out as a "last production" vehicle.

4. How about releasing a real "last production" version with the triple single link track hangers (with the proper Kgs 73/800/152 single link tracks) on each corner?

Otherwise, it looks O.K.

Oh, Happy New Year, Darren.

Happy New Year Joseph and I hope you keep taking the tablets to keep the blood pressure down

Based on the Hetzer I reviewed, I would guess these are intended for modelers who are of intermediate skill levels and a tighter budget (like me) or those who want a good base to start with for detailing.

My rant won't preclude me from getting one. Or two.

Does anybody know why the M4A4 Sherman with dozer is not around? and will it be back soon? Thanks Rick

well I´ll get one for sure, this new KT at least has what
looks like the transport tracks, and it will be cheaper than
the Dragon offering.
