Awesome. finally a (possible) masterpiece for the Panther D. The optional tracks seem to be workable.

I really hope this is all Tamiya, not a reboxed ICM or Zevesda kit. I'm worried because the tracks sort of look like the way Zevesda did theirs.

I went to our local hobby store that re-opened little over a year after a fire took out the interior.

I was looking for the Tamiya Panther d, and the owner's wife did look up ther release date. She said it is set for 15 August. I did reserve a kit for me.
