Flyhawk's Pz l Aus F (late version). Another great little model from Flyhawk, although only one per kit this time.
The two figures supplied are from Ceasare's. The armoured covers on the turret periscopes look a little thick, and could have been replaced with PE. But that's nitpicking! They can be thinned out with a sharp knife. It looks like Flyhawk learned some lessons from Dragon with those joined roadwheels. Can't wait to dive into this one!

I got mine from Sunlight Model Store in China. The price was just under $20 including shipping. It took over 5 weeks to arrive, so it was on the REALLY "slow boat from China".

The armoured covers on the turret periscopes look a little thick, and could have been replaced with PE.
Actually, there are PE pieces to replace the armored covers, but you have to carefully cut off the plastic ones as they are molded to the turret roof. Fit so far is excellent (I couldn't wait ), but the roadwheels are really too snug, and their holes could be reamed out a couple of microns for an easier fit. The kit is going together quickly and fairly easily, with a minimum parts count with maximum detail. Flyhawk Rules!!
