I have the old version still sealed up. Damn, I can't keep up. First the new 1/48 Spitfire now this.

This is just a re-release with new figures. I'll have to get it though. I just pre-ordered it from HLJ for about $28.00. I have gotten all of the new Tamiya 1/35 WWII releases. The new stuff like the Nashorn, Elefant, Brumbaer, etc. have been excellent kits. I am a Tamiya fan, always have been.

I will get it too. The crew by itself would be a nice set, and how often do you see a full crew that actually fits a vehicle rather than just being there. At least four of them have to be full figures also.

Twenty-eight on pre-order? Sounds good to me even if it is is it?) just a re-tweak like mentioned earlier. The figures alone are worth half that amount. Tempting if for no other reason.

Darned, did it again. I meant (is it?), forgot the bracket on the original post which made the line a bit weird.

I noticed that it mentions different tracks. If these are the same as the Jagdpz 38, that would be nice.
