The hits just keep on coming. I am really looking forward to these Panther kits. I wonder if the Erastz (sp?) Panther kit will contain all this detail and the correct sheet metal and associated hardware. thanks for sharing Teach' Chris

Wow. THe guide horns look very cool. Looks like Dragon has really done their homework. Thanks Vinnie

The only problem I see with this is what about the couple guide horns that peak out back where the roadwheels are? Are they Solid? As much as I hate to see another German armor release, they do have some nice ideas, though I could use without the marketing gimmicks that DML is now known for with their kits

Greetings all, At some point I'm going to have to get some German Armour to off set against the Shermans. Who knows, this might be the kit. I'm all for Plastic v PE as what little experience I have with PE has been trying to say the least. Another nice move Dragon. Cheers to all. Al

I love the idea of having plastic vs PE, my first experiences with PE have been less than stellar to say the least. lol I very much welcome the chance to use a plastic piece that is closely matched to a PE part. I can't wait for this kit!

Im all for these new kits, and as much development in their moulding as possible. The only new kit I´ve built to date (well 50% built) was the 251 - 3´n´1 - D version. Eventhough it had the magic tracks, they all suffered from ejector marks on each link, and I felt it was easier to clip the older set instead (kit had both) as these were free from ejector marks. Ive just finished the Dragon panzer III M/N and each track had 2 ejector marks per link and took quite a bit of a day to clean up. Have the newer kits been an improvement on this issue? Will the smart kits avoid it alltogether?

Hi Vinnie ..I've been following this tank here and on the Dragon site ....I noticed one thing that would be really cool if Dragon could add to the kit ...How bout they add the late rear stowage box for IR equipement ..That would be the first time it would be in a plastic kit .. Don't know how close you are to these dragon guys but if you could suggest it .... Rick
