Ya, I know it's the West Germany version - but it's as close as we can get right now...
Everything I see says MARCH 2014... last time I checked we are into April 2014.
Is this thing available someplace?
Ya, I also know it's overpriced and with the complaints about the M103, I'm sure there'll be a list of complaints about this one too.
I'm planning on building one as it would sit today - like so many relics that sit rusting in parks and on displays. I plan to strip it down, fade the paint, add the rust and show it as if it's one of the long forgotten tanks placed on display and then neglected as often happens.

It still appears to be on pre-order. I am sure you'll know when someone has it in their paws.
If you can't wait and need to see the parts and the instructions see here...

There are short cuts on the details and accuracy but this kit screams for an aftermarket update/detail set.

Somebody on here posted that they received theirs already. I am not sure if it was a review sample or a regular order, though. Should be on the first couple of forum pages

Mine is somewhere in route from Dragon in California to Milwaukee. I'm guessing Wednesday before I get it in my grubby little hands.
A good weekend all !

It was a regular order from a German shop. Some European countries tend to get the kits a bit earlier than the rest of the world it seems, goes for Trumpeter, HobbyBoss and sometimes Dragon.
