Thanks!

$34 USD for a so-so 1/72 kit is a bit steep. Especially when the hatch is molded shut! (They must have learned that from Dragon)

Considering getting a resin version would be even more expensive (not to mention about same the hatch issue there), it's not bad. And don't forget: injection molding is an expensive thing, and they can't work in the same volume as DML, so the price is going to be higher than theirs. But not that much higher.

Here's something that might be interesting in 1/35. Gotta be more interesting than a colossal Maus.

I just can't accept the premise that Germany would have switched its production methods, from making welded turrets to making cast turrets.

I'm also leery of the placement of the cupola. It puts the commander directly behind the gun. What happened to the recoil?
