Looks like an interesting kit. I'm curious to see how it compared to the recent C-H release. Not to be outdone, Dragon's trotting out the C-H kit in their own box with a few changes: LINK

Not just Axis WWII fans, but all landship fans.

Now I'm confused. Is the Dragon release one of the 3 production models?

It looks like the Dragon release allows for your choice of Krupp 3, 4 or 5.

Soon there will be more kits than actual tanks produced! When all those allied vehicles are crying to be modelled they keep dup;icating each other's releases. Very silly.

Breakdown, only 5 vehicles built. Trumpeter is vehicle #1 Dragon's Cyber Hobby White Box is Vehicle #2 Dragon's newly announced green box are vehicles #3-5 Vehicles #3-5 were essentially the same as vehicle #2 except that they were built in hardened steel (armored). There were some other changes such as the MG turrets were redesigned a bit and the main turret was welded. Vehicle #1 was a bit different with a different turret shape and main armament layout with the main guns configured over and under vice side by side. Vehicles 2 - 5 saw combat in Norway where one of the 3 - 5 vehicles was totally destroyed (#2 was sent there as it's replacement). It is believed that the the remaining vehicles 2 - 5 were lost in Barbarossa but I don't know for sure but they did just disappeared sorta. Roy
