No! Our dreams of a towable 1:72 88mm look less likely..
I was sure this model would be the precursor.

No towing hitch on a prime mover??? Seriously? That has to be one of the more retarded business decisions I've heard in awhile.
Count me OUT.

Here is an earlier thread about this piece.

The actual production pictures were pretty disappointing to me. The sdkfz 7 looked like vehicles from IXO/Altaya and does not even meet the dragon armor standards. It seems that the canvas top is also undetachable. I hope that HM might have included some troops or something and not just an empty sdkfz 7.

34 for this
40 for the JS-2
I am ready to tell HM to stuff thier armour which I buy more for what it is/vs how detailedor correcvt it is. Esp if Dragon is back in the 1/72 game, ANYTHING HM has done, the lizard can do better.

yea, but the ixo sd kfz.9 has a hitch and you can get a trailer for it.

I highly doubt that the hitch on the 3-ton can actually hitch something, however, it's a good start.
