Kudos to Dragon for releasing these Japanese subjects. Japanese WWII armor is fascinating to me. I will get this one.

I think they should also put a focus back to figures. With all awesome stuff coming, how about Japanese Marines to go with them or japanese at all (except for tankers, I think there are enough on the market) Like tank riders or truck drivers or support crews like mortars or some howitzer. Damit, thought asian stuff would be more natural for Dragon.

This kit has the front pontoon in one piece and I believe represents the prototype. The previous release has a two part front pontoon.

Glad to see this version of this odd vehicle finally released. Now how about a Bergepanther?

I already have two, one with, one without pontoons, I don't think this was an important enough tank for me to have 3 different versions. I think I'll pass on this one.
