Like the E which shows DS tracks on the company website, I suspect DS tracks for this as well.

I have been building models since the mid-sixties or so and I find the DS tracks a bonus. I have tried numerous sets of the individual tracks and at 66 I find them a real pain. I can never get them to stay glued when it comes time to drap them over the road wheels. Nothing works for me so I prefer the DS tracks. My old eyes and fingers ain't what they used to be. I wish DML and others would offer both types of tracks, I'd ay extra for the two different sets. As the cost of AFV kids has leaped and the average model builder has a harder time affording this hobby, it would be a nice choice for us to make. I know there are many others that feel as I do. Someday, you will be old and unable to fiddle with those accursed dinky track links. Just my thoughts.

Hobby Easy has it on pre-order. Site says Magic Tracks as bonus for 1st Batch, while the manufacturer's site displays nothing when you type in kit number 6851

I must say I do agree with ironmike. I hate individual tracks. I find them boring to build. Of course, they look great after it's all done, but hell don't I like building them.

Those skinny little DS panzer III/IV tracks look aweful,perhaps DS on the bigger cats,but I'm glad they put the MT'so in these.
But gotta have those DS jackets

Dragon has done a B, # 6088 and a CyberHobby version as well that I built. Nice little kit to put together.

Their Ausf B kit is 90s moulding, he was talking about them doing a new Ausf B using the updated Stug parts.

Hi, Gerald!
Isn't MINIART going to be doing a couple of the early StuG.III "AO" versions..? I thought that I saw something to that effect back when they announced their first "NEW for 2016" blurbs, back in January or February..? Yes, no, maybe..?
