J-Hulk is quiet correct.

Wave released only the two Kits, didn't seem to sell to well.

Sorry, can't say anything about the kits themselves, never seen an opened one nor know anybody that build them.

Not sure what availability via online shops for those kits is now. Hobby Link Japan lists them as back-order, some HS might still have some on their shelfs.

Howdy, Jon.
I found the E-79 resin kit on the Wave page:
E-79:
http://www.rakuten.co.jp/be-j/460594/483116/531997/#493206
34,800 yen is about $316 USD. Not a cheap kit!

The JS-152m is not listed on the Wave website. It's a conversion kit (turret only) to be used with a Dragon JS-2m chassis.

There was a writeup about both kits in Hobby Japan a while back. I'll dig through my back issues and see what I can find.

To my knowledge, there were no other models from Panzer Front produced. I have seen a scratchbuilt Shortbull, CY-122c, and Aureole, though.
