Thanks!

well, another re-issue kit of cyberhobby 6680. Thanks dragon for another original kit?

The "2 for 1" means it can be built as >either< Cyber-Hobby 6716 or 6680 ... each of which retailed for about $90 USD. Thanks, Dragon, for lowering the integrity bar even further.

ZZZZZZZ....

Haha! ... Saw those comments coming!!!

It is a kit I’ve been looking for, and if it ever comes out, I might buy one ... I don’t know about that $90 USD price tag though — YIKES!!!

I think it's an EXCELLENT re-purposing of two franchises for Dragon (the Opel and the FlaK 38. Smart move, Dragon!

$ 102 on E-bay!
And the 2 in 1 is an easy deal: just build the AA gun and put it on....or not.

Want! It comes with the flak sled with is special.

Was just comparing the Dragon release posters for the original Cyberhobby release and this new Dragon release. And it looks like the new Dragon release will include a canvas tarp roll, realistically molded in DS plastic.....

That cinches it. Realism is something we all strive for, right?

I have quite the stash of Blitz's (Maultiers) for many wartime mods to include a couple of kits of the 2cm Flak 38 hanging around. Throw in the resin aftermarket of the Flak 'sled' I also have and toss in for dessert, some aftermarket PE, and bang...instant Dragon kit at a 1/3 of the cost. I may not get the engine detail, but the aftermarket will provide that as well if I so choose to go that route. Not that this will be a bad release, it just has no market value for me IMHO.

As mentioned, many many years ago, I converted an Italeri Opel and Tamiya Flak to build this vehicle. The model is long gone, but this kit does appeal to me in that I like the look. IMO, I like the release, and will more then likely buy it.

While Dragon does make model kits for modelers, they are a business, and business likes to make money, usually to satisfy the share holders. So what Dragon is doing is just maximizing their investments in the molds. Smaller model companies will tend to look at what the consumer wants as oppose to the big companies that just want to maximize profit. Whether we like it or not, it is an unfortunate reality.

I fear that we won't ever see any exciting news from this company again.....

You never know. There just might be Spiderman-themed Easy Eight in the works to capitalize on Dragon's licensing deal with Marvel.

So essentially $100 for a re-issue kit that appears to have the obligatory deletion of the PE goodies, options for late or early sides but only late wheels and leaf springs. Pretty lame. I just spent $50 on a Mirror Models Breda Morris truck and another $40 on a Mirror CWT lol...

$90+ USD? Really?? That makes it about $120+ CDN!! For basically two re-issued kits combined! What's Dragon thinking? But then, I was looking at Meng's A7V and it's $90 CDN locally. Guess I'll build my Tauro kit!

Why? Meng has full interior included [except for the engine compartment hwich can't be seen] in their kit of the tank.

Like I said, $90+ CDN is just a little steep! Even if it has full interior. What if I don't want full interior? I might pay $60 for no interior. We can't all be rich, you know!
