Okay, fine, so they've put in a set of Winterketten. I'd be more impressed with a new set of Ostketten, but that's just me (and a Hell of a lot of other people as well!) But what about this rendition of the Hummel? How (if any) was it improved over the previous stable-full of versions? Surely not just "Ultra thin" armour and "interior fittings to ve accurately sized and shaped" as that -I presume- was already achieved in the myriad earlier versions. (Except the initial offering, but that's another matter!) How is it better? What's included? Looking forward to a build review on this one. As to the Nashorn/Hornisse, they'll, naturally, be offered with these same tracks. And their prices will, naturally, go up accordingly. Thank God for stashed kits! Now, about that updated Bergepanther based on the newer-released Panther kits...

Moulded-on winterketten? That would be nice.

the big problem with dragon kits was absent military figure to go with it.unlike tamiya usually include 1 or more figures.
