Thanks!

YES! Finally a PzIVH with an interior. I am so looking forward to this.

BTW, when is a new SdKfz251D coming along? (Wishful thinking...)

2020 looks to be the year of the T-34/85. I can't wait.

I am more interested in an H then a J so this is cool for me. They are not saying that the IV has full interior, they are showing only the engine. But we know they love to tease.

Hmm... I think I’m stashed too many Dragon T-34s

I'd like to see a build comparison between this kit and the MiniArt offering featured yesterday. As to the PZ IV: I kitbashed one about a year or so ago by combining the excellent Border PZ IV "G" kit with a Trumpeter interior out of one of their Bergepanzer IV kits; it came out quite credibly. RFM's offering is probably cheaper but hey I got two kits out of the deal as removing the interior from the donor kit had nothing to do with its buildability as a kit.

Well, the Dragon T-34-85 kits are all factory 183 versions from late 1944 or 1945 (despite anything printed on the box top), so a factory 174 version with its wide turret will be quite different. This kit duplicates the version offered by AFV Club (which has an interior). It also depicts yet another tank from the final six months of the war. The critical summer, 1944 campaigns are still served only by Zvezda's recent T-34-85 Factory 183 early variant, (which requires a bit of tough love to be presentable), or the February-March 1944 Factory 112 version soon to be released by Miniart.

Thanks Gerald for that interesting information. What are the correct MasterClub or Friul tracks for the AFV Club kit you mentioned?

Never use them. AFV Club has a very nice set of clickable styrene tracks.

Really hope to see RFM make a T-72 Ural/A/M/M1, the second most sold tank second only to T-54/55 series
