I know at least two people who missed previous releases of this kit and will want one.

Most Dragon kits anymore are limited runs and you miss the first one often you're SOL.

But if magic tracks as the spares why not magic track for the whole run?

It's funny but Dragon always puts out detailed CAD images of the plastic but never the paint and decal options that might excite more interest.

Dragon's marketing team apparently assumes that people who do indie link track are also the hairy-chested individualists who like to do their own Zimmerit. On Dragon offerings where Zimmerit is molded in place, the assumption is that these are kits for modelers who want a simpler life, so they get flexible band tracks. Dragon has been pretty consistent about this on most of their Dragon-Zimmerit releases.

I like these 2 in 1 kits as they give you options and that is not a bad thing .Plus i have missed these the first time . I am not happy with the DS track though i would rather have magic track . I am just hoping they will do the early brummbar

Not to mention the RFM announcement? Or perhaps Dragon got confused over the H/J thing?

This is a welcome re-release of the Normandy era vehicle. From the box lid it once again supplies the Hitler Jugend marking options from well known photos of the period. Having made the original issue I probably won't bother with this, but if you missed it first time, this is avery good kit.

It is a nice kit, but I already have the 1st one 6560 unbuilt. There does not seem to be much different a kit. Great release for those who missed the first one.
