The latest announcement from Dragon Models is another variant of the Panzer IV, this time for warmer climates.
Dragon Models has announced yet another German Panzer variant, the Panzer IV Ausf.D DAK. While this is the second Ausf.D to come from Dragon, this is listed as the Tropical Version for the Afrika Korps. The kit will include newly tooled antenna and sprocket wheel, with the newer suspension system on later Dragon Panzer IV kits. This version will also contain the one piece DS tracks, that seem to be coming common in all new Dragon releases.

6779 – Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D DAK, Tropical Version

According to Dragon Models USA, this new variant is slated for release in July 2013.

Do any of the DML Panzers come with partial or full interiors and indi tracks? I'd like to do a damaged/burnt out one for a Desert setting, so any one of the earlier versions would most probably do. Many thanks Al

Al I am unaware of any of the DML Panzer's with interior. Verlinden does make a good interior for the Panzer IV, as I have used it in the past. As for individual track, the older kits have Magic Track, but it looks like Dragon is moving towards the one piece DS Track for all their newer releases. Kevin

Hi Alan, The only DML panzers with more or less full interior are their Pz.I w. full interior (kinda obvious, I know) as well as their newer Pz.II's which have everything save for the engine. I'm a huge fan of Pz.III and have most of DML ones in the stash -- they ain't got much on the inside, the newer ones having only half-done turret. Same for the Pz.IV. Couldn't say much for later vehicles as they're somewhat off my interests radar. If you're gunning for a Pz.IV with in-the-box good interior, Tristar's your friend, I have a couple and I whole-heartedly recommend them, in spite of the monstrous number of parts
