Tamiya has had a 1:35 BT-42 out for several years, Eastern Express before that even...

Was wondering if Dragon was going to do one considering the popularity of the vehicle in Girls und Panzer. And you thought they did a Stug III F because they liked it?

In this day and age when model company, through desperation, turn to every freaking variant known to man, and then trot out the ridiculous and implausible, why is it that a kit like this is offered only in 1/72? In 1/35 it would be a hit (but then so would a good Bergpanther!) HINT! HINT!

Tamiya did one. It's fabulous and if a big company like them does an obscure piece like this the market is effectively saturated.
