I was expecting it would have those neo-tracks. Nonetheless it still is a nice release. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Tat!

Maybe DRAGON figured that since this particular kit didn't need "Neo-Tracks" or "Magic Tracks" because the Schuertzen cover up the "Track-sag", anyway.

I would have preferred the "Neo-Tracks", myself...

Hi, Phil!

AGREE- Except when one mucks-up the Tracks with dirt, mud, torn-up grass/foliage, and body-parts, etc. Those "better details" become pretty negligible once the Tracks are loaded up with all manners of filth.

IMO, for "general" use, (I get kind of lazy sometimes, when putting together "indy-links", myself! ), I think that the "Neo Tracks" are still a better (and cheaper) alternative to aftermarket Tracks, especially for modellers that are still pretty new to the "tracked vehicles scene"...

I'm glad they did this version. New molds I take it? Or did they use different parts? I do have the older Value Pack kit- orange box.
Ahh I see it has a interior gun detail..nice. Rubber DS tracks....booooo... you can't get the sag look with rubber. Well...you can but its a pain in the tracks.

Orange box version, figures, brass schurtze，magic track included. I got the after market upgrade set. This is good but I will not buy.

Yes, this IS good, but I will not buy, either. TWO Panzerjaeger IVs in my collection are entirely enough for me, thank you...
