The inside of this kit isn't "full" or "perfect". It lacks the many small items of standard equipment that German tanks carried inside.

People who like to build tanks that pretty much never made it past the drawing or hardly-tested prototype stage are probably not going to care, David. I'm still part of the small group that would like all the ACTUALLY USED vehicles to become kits first, but I don't get to decide those things.

I'm making this point because the "hype" for this kit is getting out of hand. Some online shops are stating it has a "full interior" (which Revosys didn't say).

Fair enough, and a helpful thing if people are expecting something they aren't getting.

given paper panzer status not sure it would be worthwhile to list the shortcomings of the missing standard fixtures.

Pure semantics. Advertising is full of hyperbole with the truth stretched beyond technical specifications and often the intentions of the manufacturer.

The chunky barely there interior of the ancient Bandai kits were tauted as "full" and "complete " in their day.

Besides retailers have to do all they can to get past the sticker shock on this one.

Normally I'm not a big fan of paperpanzers but I'm intrigued by the claim that four of the hulls were converted to be used as Bergepanzers for Tiger tanks. I'd be interested in knowing more about these and their possible use. Anything David?
