Do they wheels turn on these or are they static like the tracked vehicles?

I have found some pics too:

Don't know anything about the wheels.

Dragons "New Wave" releases are already late 6 months anyone knows why?

Cheers

It seems the flying mule got the 222 already. Their prices do not seem too competative however.

Really makes you wonder how anybody actually fit in that turret.

You might find this link interesting. It has interior pictures of a restored 222.

Gave me even more admiration, such a cramped space. Not to mention heat, fumes, equipment and imminent danger.!

I am glad to see a new tooling too. The first released 222 is kinda generic so U can take it as eastern front 1942.

Dragon really didn't do any homework on this one, which is a shame. The hull represents a mid-late verison (no armored hubs on wheels, later stowage arrangement, later vision ports, raised mesh cover etc.) which entered assembly lines around 1941, so it couldn't take part in French campaign, not talking about Polish one. DAK version is OK. Shame Dragon doesn't have any feedback channel like HM does.

Nevertheless I am happy and going to buy all 3 of them

I have a sweet spot for the 222 that goes back to when 21st Century released their original 1:32 version.

[Heer]

From the pics that I have seen, dragon did do a good job on this. I might eventually get one, and it is certainly rare of dragon to produce a DAK version. They rarely pay attention to the african theatre. I am, however, looking forward to the tiger (p) the most.

Saw this the other day at my local Hobbytown. Very nice. Much better than my old micro machines one, though it is not much bigger I'm most impressed with the detailing on the turret screen and the fact that you can see the gun detail inside. The basic field gray was a good choice for a first release as well. I'd highly recommend this
