I saw an online review of the new Takom Blitz Panzer III kit. The reviewer said that they are relatively simpler kits in the new brand and expects the Stug to be in the Blitz range also. I wonder how it is different than the Das Werk brand, which I thought was releasing simpler (without interior?) kits from Takom at a more affordable price point. Anyone have any info on that?
Regards,
Phil

Think there just like the Dragon platz and Black label kits reduced prices and less part count,I actually like the idea as Takom was having too many kits with interior.
I am building the Das Werk 505 king tiger which has almost half the parts count of the interior kit.

The Blitz line are new tooled kits with a lower parts count. The Das Werk re-boxed versions are simply previously released Takom kits without the interiors.

Das Werk also produce kits on their own which are not available from any other manufacturer.
They also cooperate with Amusing Hobby.
