Well I suppose it had to happen, AFV Club/Tristar's new Marder IIIH has an interior so Dragon couldnt not chuck one at their next release too, all this competition is only good news for us modellers.

Actually, Frank, I do believe the Aufklarungspanzer 38(t) had a different engine then the standard Pz Kpfw 38(t). The engine in the Aufklarungspanzer 38(t) had a higher output rating which gave the vehicle better speed and handling. Regardless, its great to see Dragon giving us an engine for the Pz Kpfw 38(t). I'm all about that Hmm......new Dragon Hetzers ey ? Now thats something to ponder....... Cheers Gents !! Robert

Couldn't agree more. I'll go further, stick my neck out and predict that next weekend DML will announce one at Nuremberg. This if course inevitably means that it'll be the announcement of a PzIII.... :-)

Sweet. Have to go on a building binge to thin the stash prior to these new kits coming out!

Any idea when these will actuall hit store shelves? Now I'm pissed having just purchsed two Maquette kits of the same subject! Can't wait getting my grubby hands on these nice Dragon bits.

Very nice! It opens the possibility to make one "topped open" by AT sheels. I have seen some interesting pictures of that. Could be a really good diorama idea. Anyway, this is definently good news.

Nice looking kit. I have always liked the 38t. May have to pick one up!!

Even though I rarely do German Armour, I just might pick one of those up. Sure looks a lot better than the Italeri kit. :-)

jim, thnx for the 411. Cant wait to get my hands on this one as well. Now we can shelve the Italeri kit for dusty days.
