Well, I guess this saves Dragon the trouble of bringing the kit back themselves. Maybe they should just turn over all their molds to companies that will actually do more with them. And cheaper.

The last Dragon Kettenkrad had the front wheel perfectly placed to just touch the ground...until you actually mounted the tracks. Had to go full Frankenstein on the front fork to fix that. Hopefully they can at least get that sorted.

If it's a reasonable price I could see picking up one. A great space filler on a diorama. Mark, thanks for the heads up on the floating front wheel! If I do go that route I hope that I'll remember it when the time comes.

Das werk has also gone in with Bold Division to make a very nice trailer. Seems all these collaborations with kit companies is entering our hobby into a new golden age!

Mine touches the ground just fine, and I did nothing beyond following the instructions.

So, outside the six different markings how are these different from the original Dragon offerings? Is this a sort of "Cyber hobby" type of offering?

This hurt me seeing this I was really hoping for a new kit. Can Tamiya, Takom or Meng or someone other than Dragon please bring a new Kettenkrad in 1/35, 1/16 and 1/9. I must be crazy but some of the stuff being released of Paper Panzers or version f/g/whatever I can't help think a new Kettenkrad would sell better......add a new plastic nebelwerfer, like a two in one kit as a decent cheapish Nebelwerfer is impossible to find.
