I thought this was released already.. or is this a new re-release of a new release?

Tim, this was only announced last week. It follows on from the Tiger I with Zimmerit, the Jagdpanther (Porsche suspension) and will doubtless be followed by the laundrywagen with Zimm...

"and will doubtless be followed by the laundrywagen with Zimm" Jim if we get a sample can I review this? In all seriousness DML must have one of if not the most prolific release schedules of any model manufacture to date, I do sometimes wonder how the market manages to sock up enough units at the rate they are coming out. That said I am sure this will be popular with any model maker that wont, can’t, or doesn’t want to attempt applying Zimm.
