Thanks!

100% newly-tooled? Really? Wonder how many parts will actually be from previous kits? And they're reducing parts count even further - which is supposed to be some kind of advantage. Maybe we'll eventually see a snap-together model with four parts! Oh, wait...they already did that with their Iron Man figures!

Welcome my braille friends back to the days of Roco.

If this kit isn't meant for war-gamers then there is some crafty logic at work here on Dragon's part. Basically, let's reduce the quality of our kits so that small scale builders appreciate what we were providing them with prior! Oh how tempting the old Panthers, Panzer IV and Shermans look now!!!😜

The writing might be on the wall and they'll be doing this next to their 1/35 scale kits!

Cheers 🍻🍺🍺🤑

Well, I can tell you that the 1/35 kit is really an uber-kit. Lotsa in that box, let me tell you! As soon as I finish the "E" I'll start on it too!

Let me confirm your fears. With total excitement, I've just purchased one of these kits at what I though was a decent price of around $15. It is indeed more of a war gamers kit. ALL the tools are molded into the plastic as well as a spare piece of track that appears to be recessed into the front hull instead of laying on it. No photo-etch. Not a fan of the rubber road wheels molded with the tracks. I do appreciate the sagging of the tracks on the top rollers. The tracks are also totally solid with no holes where the open areas should be. - cheap, cheap, cheap. I mistakenly purchase 4 more in case these all gobbled up. I feel totally burned.
