Indeed, Its very hard to get hold of some Dragon Kits, I would rather they resissue them instead of doing this

Already have enough Stugs in the stash.. Besides, I'm still patiently waiting for Dragon to release the command variant kettenkrad I've always wanted.

stugs were a important tanks in ww2, I HOPE dragon uses magic tracks instead of ds crap......

I don't have a problem with them releasing every variant and sub-variant under the sun, the more the merrier I say. What does bother me with recent Dragon releases is the lack of magic track, especially on Panzer III/IV chassis vehicles.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I'm as critical of Dragon's release program as the other guys, but THIS ONE I had been waiting for anxiously. Thank you Dragon! Cheers, Christophe

There can never be such a thing as "too many Stugs"....I hope that Dragon continue with these releases of every single possible variant of Stug 111 & 1V...As far as I'm aware in most countries it's still it's not compulsory to buy all of them..

You sure about that ?? I was under the impression that there are some models that one must have built to be considered a real modeler .. "Say HWHAT !?! You HAVEN'T built a Tiger 1 YET ?? You Sir, you are NOT a real modeller, you are an IMPOSTOR" Needs to be said with the voice of John Cleese.... / Robin

Ha. Ive never built a Tiger 1. I hate them. A monstrosity of a tank. Built loads and loads of StuGs and Pz iii and Pz ivs though!

HEAR, HEAR!!! While they're at it, they should change their company name as well. It's GREAT for the WWII German fans, but a TOTAL WASTE on US/ALLIED enthusiasts. OK Guys, ARE YOU READY FOR MY TIRESOME OLD REFRAIN ONCE AGAIN? Here goes: "Why, oh why did DRAGON ever drop the 1/35 M3-series Medium Lee/Grant "FUTURE RELEASE" that they teased us with a few years back?" I know some of you guys are going to say, "What's wrong with ACADEMY's M3?" A new, state-of-the-art M3 is quite in order- I don't need to go into specifics. Ditto, an entirely new M3-series Light "Stuart". ACADEMY's "Stuart" kits have a few issues, especially the road-wheels' spokes- AFV CLUB makes a great "fix", with their AF35056 M3/M5/M8 Suspension kit, which captures the "look" of the "Light" VVSS suspension VERY nicely... We could also use an entirely new M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage- I can't fathom that ridiculously-wrong old TAMIYA thing having survived for so long, or the wisdom (?) in AFV CLUB's decision to drop the M8, after showing it as a "FUTURE" item FOR MONTHS! That disappointed me and A LOT of fellow US/ALLIED fans... For that matter, we could also use a new "state-of-the-art" M8/M20 6x6 Armored Car and a new M18 "Hellcat", as well... OK, I concede that the "Last 31" StuG IIIF is a valid subject- IMO, We could EASILY have had the bases covered with just 3 major variants of the StuG III, and 3 Pz.IIIs following the Ausf.E. It took MINIART to give us something different with their Pz.III Ausf.B thru D. While MINIART is at it, They could have given us an Ausf.A (5 large road-wheels) instead of one of the B thru Ds... Too many versions of the same thing with DRAGON's Panthers, Tiger Is and Tiger IIs. IMO, DRAGON could have MUCH BETTER served us all by getting the much-clamored for "BERGEPANTHER" and possibly a "BERGETIGER I" into production.
