Hey!

Hurray!!! Thats a piece of great news I haven't expected today! And a huge breakthrough for Dragon line, over which I have already put R.I.P stone.

Firstly, it's the first exclusive Dragon Armor leaflet since years.
Secondly, it introduces first softskins in line.

No sign of Panzer III or IV which were announced earlier this year, though. I also wonder if we are going to see Brumbar anytime soon.

Cheers

Luke

Is it not finished Brumbar in the lower center of the photo? It has the Dragon Armor base.

Nice find on the Sturmpanzer IV! Glad to see they're finally doing it.

Really excited about the 222, Protze,and LVT. Look like Dragon is finally gonna go head to head with HM.

well Dragon should be able to hold it's own against HM model for model..

now it's just to see who can come out with the better subjects. Since HM isn't committed to WWII like Dragon(or German subjects like Dragon like it or not)..it could get interesting. I am just glad for PSWs, Dragon did go for the 234s..for the 3rd company to play on that..least the 222 is fresh meat to grind.

I'd love someone to do the 250 Neu series, complete with the stummel and 20mm turret versions.

It'll be interesting to see if Dragon can really get going and keep up wth HM's output. I think they've really missed out by not doing late PZ IVs, and especially not doing a 3-tone Pz IV lang.

yea I feel they missed not doing a F1 in grey for summer '42 Fall Blau and Def a Kursk '43 G w. skirts(not that hard, they have the skirts w/StuG IV done, and just need the brackets..although it would be a early G still, a late or even middle would need bits added and deleted to be correct)..also the F2 was a total surprise as it wasn't hinted to before it dropped and proceeded the kit form by quite a bit.

Still it would be better than everything else out there.

So I wonder with the Krupp and 222, what will come first, the pre-built or the Kit form?

Found this photos thanks to SuperKungFu post, on another board.

Here's our Sturmpanzer (60355):

Image

Will have to check the references if it should have zimm or not.

And two cyber-hobby panthers, one late, one early, same camo, same markings (60412, 60414):

I don't know what the deal with the panthers is. Perhaps it has something to do with all this 'Black Knight' stuff? No idea who or what he is.

Cheers
