The Panhard was offered by Dragon a number of years ago -any sharing of molds on this offering, or is it completely new?

It would have also been nice to have seen the German soldiers so as to judge their poses and detail.

Dragon's Panhards were re-boxes of the AL-BY kits. As I understand ICM developed their own tooling for their Panhards. Happy to be corrected.

ICM and Dragon Panhards are different kits. However, some other coincidences in launching similar kits (Krupp L2H 143 Protze and SdKfz 222, both in 1/72 for example) makes me think in general there was some kind of short-lived cooperation between ICM and Dragon in the past.

Considering how these companies swap molds around I could believe that, at some point, all the major players interact. Just consider some of Revell Germany's offerings.

As No.5 would say, "More input!" Does the Panhard come with the track shown in the pics?? If so, is that track compatible with other tracks sets?? If not, will the Panhard fit on those other sets?? That's not very much track and would limit a display to not much more than a vignette. I'd like to pick up one (maybe 2) of these, but not if the track is going to be an issue.

The ICM Panhard is a completely new tool...far better then the Dragon/Al-by offering.
