That looks like a great kit. Gotta have one! I've built a couple of the DML kits with the Zim and have been pleased with them.

Nope. Read the signature

Joe, i'm no fan of DS tracks either, I prefer indy whenever possible. But, you gotta say that of the 'rubber band' variety, is the best. This kit looks good either way.

So many new Stug releases, sounds like DML is trying to jump start a campaign by sheer weight of new releases!

They'd better add some DS tracks to the PzKpfw I or II kits, and leave these with Magic Tracks.

Looks like a winner to me, as the Atak Zimmerit for Stugs is as much as the kit. I've given up on them including Magic Tracks, which I always sold and lowered the cost of going with Friuls.

For the most part DML has done Magic Tracks for just about every German tank available and probably then some. There is no reason for them not to include them when they have the molds and such. Lately I've seen some examples of DS tracks and to say the least they suck. The builders of these kits aren't happy due to the inability to get proper track sag along the top of the run. Sorry but Cookie Sowell does not speak for every armor builder out there and not everybody wants rubber bands. Now granted I will admit they are better looking than previous rubberbands however people have told me that if you hit them with just a touch too much glue they will dissolve away. I build mostly OOB and Magic Tracks fit what I want out of an armor kit. I'll say again, DML brought me back to armor with individual links and now they are chasing me away with DS Tracks. If I build a kit with add-ons and more detail then I will consider aftermarket tracks but I've preferred the Magic Tracks over aftermarket on many occasion. Once again a kit maker thumbs their noses at the marketplace.

great model, useless tracks.

I'm really liking the box art, and I like the StuG. Not sure how I feel about the DS however. Flipside is, I usually use AM tracks anyways... until they start including such track in the kits.
