I think this Panzer IV is a reissue of the CyberHobby kit.

What!! Did Dragon finally run out of Tigers?
The AT-AT should be around 2 ft tall - if they don't make any errors!

Think you might be right. I passed on it the first go around but likely will get this one. Neat looking vehicle.

I wouldn't, it looks like they just removed all the magic tracks and other accessories from the original CH release but then increased the RRP for reasons only their marketing team knows

Usually a popular new release is posted as an official news item on the site, and then is reannounced by someone else.

Personally, I have enough bits and bobs to detail this kit. I missed it, the first go round. It is something I have beat myself up over. So, it will definitely be added to my stash.

I suppose we could build the AT-AT as a Hitler "what if" lol
Would definitely need some AA guns.
As for the Panzer IV , if it was released as a white box, I would opt for the white box version.
Here is the Cyber Hobby version blown up image. This version has the magic tracks.Obviously a metal barrel as well.

I have the Cyberhobby kit of the Flak Pz4, and also the Flak 4 barrel Panther kit. They are both excellent kits.

Oh yeah, DRAGON takes (actually, "took", past-tense) extra care to produce WWII German stuff with a high degree of accuracy (a good thing), but they are "iffy" when it comes to the US/Allied stuff over the last couple of years. Their shennanegans of late, i.e the substitution of "DS Tracks" for "Magic Tracks", abbreviated PE (or none at all), lack of clear parts and metal barrels, have turned quite a few modellers on this site off. DRAGON's "BLACK PLAGUE" kits are just... Bad...

Yes, I know... It's all about money...

I wonder how much the crews of the 88 liked having NO protection from shrapnel & small arms fire?
