Well the common theme coming out of Dragon seems to be Panzers, and there are two more on their way to join all the other...uh...Panzers.

Thanks!

What about the M48 and the Japanese tanks released lately. Just an observation.

More panzers? From, of all folks, Dragon? You just gotta be kidding. Why the HECK would the D bring out another Pz. III?

OK. D is doing what D has done oh so well for quite a while. Panzers, panzers, and, did I miss something? Panzers. It's D's major stock-in-trade, and with respect to Shermie fans and folks wisting for Allied this and anyone else that, D does a great job with panzers and German sells. So what do we expect? I'm not surprised at all to see more Pz from the D.

Another Pz. III? Personally, it's pretty ho-hum and I won't buy one. Now, IF this was one of those III Ausf A, B, C or D (talk about WIST!)... But that Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (A)... YES! That's my type of new kit! This one is cool, in a clunky sort of way, and hey, maybe the D has fixed a few problems from the previous effort on this type. One can always hope!

I'll have to work on that Honey-Do list before August rolls around!

I just have toi wonder what are dragon going to once they run out of obscure versions of panzers?

Of course they gonna redo-update the whole series of panzers, as they did in the past !!!

OK Jim, I hear what you're saying. On a more positive note, let's see some of the earlier Pz.IIIs and IVs... I mean like the Pz.IIIAusf.A's & Ausf.B's, with the FIVE large roadwheels as opposed to the more common 6 road-wheeled types..? The Ausf.B's and C's had EIGHT smaller road wheels, similar to the Pz.IV-series' road wheels. The Ausf.D's had thicker armor, with "shutter-type" visor slots...

There was even a Pz.Kpfw.III built with FAMO interleaved road wheel suspension, a la the Sd.Kfz.9 Heavy Prime Mover... This project was cancelled after testing...

Also, sort of off topic, some of the really early Pz.Kpfw.IIs, such as the Ausf.a1, a2 and a3's, along with Ausf.b's and c's might satisfy some of the guys that hunger for some of the real "rara avis"-German types... The main production-series of the Pz.Kpf.II started with the Ausf.A, B, and C models. Both DRAGON and TAMIYA have released the Ausf.C's...

I'd like to see BRONCO do a Flammpanzer II "FLAMINGO"- BRONCO already has the major portion of the tooling for this one. The ICM/ALAN kits are getting to be "a little bit long in the tooth"...

This would be great! I'm getting a little tired of the same tank, with minor modifications. A different suspension would be much appreciated. I've just started to get into the IIIs. I prefer those and most any short barreled panzer. It would be heaven sent if Dragon/CH retooled some of their older kits.
