Is there any links to these new Dragon releases which indicate when they'll be released? Where would people keep the Karl Morser anyways?

can't believe DML torpedoed Tristar on this, now I will like to see how Tri-Star reacts to this.

Tristar may go lower price/or add PE
I thoughtTrumpteer was doing this.
Dragon should do the PzIV muntions trager to gowith these.And,Dragon has railway track,so could the transport railcars be far behind?

Hello

DML's kit is definately a monster. Have any of you guys seen CMK's resin Karl. You can build the complete package including the railcars , munitionpanzer and locomotive. Would make an awesome display , but , at approximately $600.00 for everything a little out of my price range

Don't you think the kit makers would be better off trying NOT to make what the other guy is making?
Not an M-10 or Achilles to be seen and then AFV Club and Academy hit the market at close to the same time. Same goes for the M-41s, great subject without a doubt, but two makers hitting the market simultaneously.........
And now this ..... especially this - Trumpeter, Tristar and Dragon all trying to make a profit on what will undoubtedly be an expensive kit with probably relatively limited market because of price and odd subject ( don't get me wrong, I WANT one - started saving when I first heard Trumpeter mention it )
Point being that all these releases at the same time can't just be coincidence, someone must have had some idea what the competition was up to, so why try to cut each others throats when there are so many other interesting subjects just begging to be made...........

Thus endeth the rant :-) :-)

seeing the amount of time it takes to produce a kit DML has been at it awhile, that is a beauty. tri star just annouced it intentions and won't be ready for a while by what i read in the new kit news. DML has long had a reputation of making kits we have demanded over the years, this just shows that they listened and gave us what used to be a high priced resin kit from a company who couldn't keep up with the demand. i know because i'm still wating and will cancel said order and get DML's magnificent morser and answer the question what happened to the sherman after it got hit by a 600mm round. hehehehehe good hunting stug
