Has anyone heard anything on when Dragon plans to release this puppy? I thought it was coming at the end of March and here we are almost June

Steve,
I usually check Hobby Link Japan for the latest releases and upcoming models, however I don't even see this one listed. Perhaps they are waiting for another model company to announce it and then they will put in on the market :-) :-) no offense Dragon, if you are listening.
Regards,
Robert

I had figured that it was something to do with zimmerit.

They also have not had a weekday update to the vehicle specific page in some time.

I could be wrong and I hope I am, it could be out there tomorrow.
But from Dragons site, it is not listed as a May, June or July release as of this morning.

How much new tooling did there need to be?

Something must have happeed. I placed a pre-order for this kit in early April with Great Models...usually pre-orders mean kit is 8 - 12 weeks off

Well quite a bit actually. The new Tiger I will be out pretty soon. I really find the (semii) complaining a bit much - how many releases have DML come out with so far his year alone? How many new release are coming in he next month or two?...Thought so. ...Jim
