Wasn't somebody around here looking for one of these...??

This tank is awesome.

Yes this tank is awesome, 21st should have sold this world wide. I did a trade with a member in Germany back in October. I've always liked the look of the Panzer IV with the side armor on it.

originally it was just the paint scheme that was to be exclusive since 21c planned on releasing the side skirt version in north america as well, but with a diff't paint scheme. As we know, that never happened. Probably never will, now.

I got one a couple of years ago off of ebay from a guy in scotland who had piles of them. I paid about $80 shipped for it. Very pleased with it.

I'm pretty happy with my "Ostketten Exclusive" Panzer IV... $23.99 on clearance at WM, plus the cost of the Schurzen ($10 I think) from Gary, and the time to paint them.. Click pics to enlarge....

Which figures are those on the tank? Are those Dragon?

Also, remember someone posted the prone pic of a soldier using a Bruno head? What figure was that?

I'm seeing all these great German figures with interesting camo patterns...someone fill me in!

Yep, they are Dragon "Action 18" figs, the two on the tank are from the "Arnhem 44" set I believe. They are really very nice, and I personally like them alot. I got them on ebay from Rezzed collectibles, and you can sometimes get very good deals on these sets from Rezz.

Rub it in, would you? I paid dearly for mine...

Me too
At least I paid a bunch for the first one, the second one was ok, but took forever to arrive from the Fatherland and the third one, I just don't remember. Plus I got a custom one from the Hun too Da General

How do I ask this politely?

Dragon figures aren't that...um...poseable...are they?

They look fantastic, but only one pose? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Your right they are not that poseable, but they come with really detailed weapons.

I'm hoping that they release one in the US someday.

While they are not poseable so to speak, their parts are highly swappable. So if you got an entire set of troops you can move arms, legs, etc.. around and make a nice variety. Also, the poses they come with are all different, typically three crouching guys and three standing / running /leaning guys in each set.

Eliminates a lot of the twisting and bending you have to do with the 21C guys to get that right pose.

And the weapons/gear/helmets are the best made so far.. Removable clips with painted bullets in the MP-40s.. How cool is that?

WTF!!! I've had those MP-40s for probably two years now and never realized that! I had to run downstairs when I read that and I was shocked - not that I didn't believe you, but shocked nonetheless! Wow, almost makes me cry that Dragon doesn't put out more stuff. Make some accessory sets at least even if the figures don't sell as well!

That would be like finding out my 21C Stuka has retractable landing gear. Or that the real Stuka had retractable gear Well, maybe not, but still.

WOW I had to break into one of my Dragon German figs to see the MP-40 too. What a shock!
Cool, very cool!

I could do with some of these myself. Are they sold online?

Yes you can get Dragon 1:18th figures on line. I got some from Greatmodels.com , very happy with them.

Go to: Category..... then go to: Scale Action Armor & Figures...... click on 1:18 Scale.
They have a good selection and the price was right. I don't know what it will cost to ship them to Spain, but their nice figures and I think it would be worth it.
Good Luck, Normandy.
