You can pre-order this kit here in the states for $56.00 from Mission Models . He will have it to you in no less than 3 days from the time he gets them into his shop. He is in LA and gets them to me in Washington DC in 2 days.

I'm not affiliated with Mission Models, just a very satisfied customer.

I don't want to rock the boat here, but I am a little bit suspicious about the quality of the DML Morser here, it seems to me it is a business attack on the Tri-Star one, and with my experience in tooling and stuffs, I doubt if you can get a completed new/well researched tooling done in such a short time. I am suspicious it might be the 1/35 version of the Hasegawa one or the plastic copy of the resin one.

But anyway, if it's good, then it's nice.

My 2 cents

I am looking forward to the Morser,Davidus. The difference has to be quality and price. If DML's offering is low on the quality side but low in price,Tri-star has the opportunity to make a better model for a higher price.As we all know, Eduard will most likely make a PE set for this one so the price of the DML kit will go up due to the corrections that this will provide, there by making the Tri-star kit a better purchase.Think about it, how many Pz III's and IV's are made out there by different manufacturers, and still enjoy a market for the buyer. Cheer up, Tri-star will survive and so will we as builders. You could look at it this way, these model makers will strive to make the next kit to grab everyones attention and wallets. Competion is the modellers friend as long as it doesn't kill the little man.
Long live the DSB and Our Further,Lord Pakish and His Most Second,Sith Lord Darth Davidus Arwenismineus!

I think its great that there is a bit of competition at the moment. Its sad to see they are competitiing against each other, but If companies would try to be a bit original and bring out different kits it would benifit us all and stop some of the bickering. Thats why I thought Italeri´s DUKW was a great addition and one example of what I mean.
