This is a real nice looking kit-better than any other 1/72 model I've ever seen! AND ARE THOSE PRE SHAPED TOWING CABLES!?

Do you really think this is better than the Dragon Jagdpanther?

yes they do Biggles but its a g-2 and this one is a g-1,G-1 had a different engine deck and was the more common .Converting the g-2 back to a g-1 is a task that requires far more work. BUt i take your point. I just get abit envious when nice kits in other scales. Have fun Wayne

I may be wrong, but I think you would be very lucky to find either of the Dragon Jagdpanther kits on sale any longer; at least one of those came with photo etch and metal cables, and that's a thing of the past with Dragon.

Those are pre-shaped tow cables on the Zvezda kit, just like on their Panther, upon which this kit is based; also has decent tools and spare track links, only really missing the engine deck grilles. Likelihood is that it will only cost about £10 or less, so buying aftermarket etch still presents an OK deal.
