Hi, I was just over on the Missing Lynx site and in their Constructive Comments section a modeler is now building and posting photos of this wonderful new kit soon to be out to the rest of us, hopefully. Might want to get it a check out.

Take care, Sgirty

Here's the link:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/message?forumid=110741&messageid=1127361000

The model is by Tom Cockle, a very renown Pz IV modeller (see AFV Modeller), who also authored the recent Osprey book on modelling this subject. Tom was one of the technical consultants w/DML prior to this kit's release. Tom advised on corrections that needed to be made on early test shots. Kinda shows you the length that DML is taking to ensure a well researched product!

Cool, I like the basic interior stuff, more than enough to keep the turret hatches opened!

Thanks for the link

Very nice - Tamiya had better watch its market share. Definitely, on the "to buy" list.

that sure is one nice lookin kit. The detail in the running gear is mind blowing. It's a shame that most dioramas would see it covered in mud !!

Dragon are certainly leading the market with their kits and the detail they put in as standard is excellent

Tristar who???? I could not believe the detail on just the drive spocket and the further down I scrolled.... Well, I knew I really really wanted this kit before, Now I am obsessed with getting it or maybe two.
