Definitively 2016 seems to be the year of the Konigstiger. One more is coming from Dragon, with the addition of a crane.

Well, cranes are certainly more interesting and useful than interiors or non-DS style tracks or even lame crap like PE and metal barrels. Who even does stupid stuff like that anymore?

Cranes, all the way, man.

With cactus.

I had a chuckle over your post. However, there is some photo-etch, and the pics show magic tracks. But, is it another rebox?

Yeah, that's what I get for posting before reading the whole article.

But still, you gotta give it up for cactus.

Does DRA-6302 ring a bell? From 2007:



Dragon is quickly becoming the new Tamiya by the way it keeps reissuing the same things ad nauseam. That crane should be good for another fifteen bucks added to the kit price.

Joseph,
I definitly hear you with Dragon,they are killing us with all of these reboxes with higher prices and less extras,but really Tamiya has been putting out some pretty nice new tooled stuff,not as detailed as say Meng or Takom,but new tooled and solid.
Easy 8,JSU-152,Jagdtiger,Jagdpanzer Lang,Isherman,SU-76,AMX-13,Mark IV Male,Samua to name few.
