from their website: 'Dragons brand new Black Label line offers exciting military subjects for eager modelers. Black Label is a whole new line of kits marketed independently of Dragon or Cyber-Hobby, and this flexibility results in reduced prices for the big items in this exciting series'

Has it been established if you can build a German OR a US version with this kit? I remember the discussion but I cannot remember what was decided.

Good news, this is! I have a soft spot for the MBT 70 because I built the Aurora kit long ago: Aurora MBT 70

I can only apologise if this upsets you. Occasionally we do publish duplicate news stories with so many new releases to deal with. Since the initial announcement as you can see there is far more information and images available and a different release date. I for one am looking forward to this kit and it seems other people are too.

I am in for sure, but I hope that there mounting systems and directions are better than the m48 for the bogey wheels to me the worst kit I have ever done, and I have built over a hundred armour kits and have shelved my m48 for now.
