So I picked up the XD Panzer IV Ausf. H
on ebay. This is a neat item!
I have a few questions:
1. So it didn't come with the armor skirts? Seems a bit odd, since the rigging for them is right there. I've seen one pic of it with them, but most of the pics don't have them, including pics I've seen of it packaged. Mine came packaged, but I'm wondering if this was a QC problem with some shipping with missing parts, or if maybe mine were tossed with the box materials by accident...
2. When did this come out? Was it US release, or only in Europe? I see Badcat seems to have one on the way, but I can't tell if that's an exclusive VERSION, or if the whole thing was always a limited release.
3. Isn't it just a really great tank?
One of hte many things that moved me away from the hobby was the XD line drying up. I mean, when I left a few years ago, there were pics of new marines and some BoB stuff, and now it's like three or four years later, and as best as I can tell, this stuff has only recently been hitting pegs! I never thought I'd see another tank in this line, let alone a partial die-cast one. Great, great item.

On that note, let's hope bbi surprises us with something new that rolls....
