I have Dragons Brumbar, kit #6460. I have Dragons Pz IV J on order, kit #6556. Do these kits have the same lower hull?

You can compare the kit instructions here:

The instructions for the rear "vertical" plate are different but the rest looks very similar but I may have missed something so don't take my word for it ....
Compare the sprues ....

Robin,

I had a look at the Hobby Link site and thought the hulls were the same, aside from the kits making a different type of tank the sprues look the same. However, Dragon has done some strange things in the past, so I decided to ask about it. It's probably best to just wait for the kit to show up.

Thanks,
Randy

I have both kits and they share the same lower hull. Looks like they came from the same mold.

Irvin,

Thanks for looking. I can safely get a head start and build up the lower hull and replace it with parts from the J kit.

Tks,
Randy
