Personally, Id pick this up just for the ordinary Ausf.B. Missed it first time around. The blade doesn´t do anything for me, unless I wanted to do some sort of diorama around it. Thanks for the review Russ.

Tom, thanks for helping with this and getting it posted. I forgot to mention that the tracks are the correct early 38cm. Hope I didn't miss anything else.
Frank, thanks for the comment. I believe lots of modelers are thinking like you, and will grab this kit without wanting to use the blade. As such, I do wish they had included at least a couple more decal options.

I wish there were fewer "unidentified unit" marking options across DML's kits. Hopefully the aftermarket fellas will help us out with some research and sets of markings for this one.
I have the earlier Cyber Hobby release of the Ausf B about 70% completed, and the parts count is amazingly high.
