*New* DML Zimmed Offering (ZO)

Capitalism at its finest! Which is somewhat ironic given where DML is based...

Rather ironic isn't it.

That being said, this is one kit I absolutely need to get. Maybe I can make a trade down the pipeline with someone who will never build it.

The StuG III G was one of the longest running production vehicles (and one of the largest # produced) in the German inventory with a lot of changes/tweaks along the way...DML has been diligently addressing the different types of variants and is close to being done with the run, so that's why you see a lot of economy of scale with the sprues and molds. And yes, it does mean that the spares bin gets a nice dose as well along the way! DML is also going back and reclaiming the ground held by the Imperial series and early 6000 series short-barrel StuG IIIs with new-tool Smart Kits, which is a good thing but one that will take some time.

Well by doing so, they can release "new kits".

You're right, I missed that and the framing on the rear deck.

The Dec 1943 version looks like the one in the background of the photo on the poster. But I bet 90% of the parts are the same and I remember having a lot of left over parts off the Dec 1943 version.

This has to be the 10th to 12th Stug III Dragon has put out.

Tim, I thought that was a mid-production version. This one has the remote-controlled MG.

Looks just like their Stug III Dec 1943 I built a few months ago, but that one does not have zims and it should. so it looks like they corrected that and renamed it July 1944.

T-28 has interested me for a long time..... .never thought a 1/35th model of it would be issued .......and by DML ! Their kits usually build well for me . $69 is pricey ...but so is a tank full of fuel ......and i get much more enjoyment out of spending that much money on a model ..........maybe i'll even build it ?

I dunno---let's just say I'm "waffling" on this one...

Isn't that always the case Eric? Could be worse...you could've been working on a conversion using the old Imperial kit.

Oh it figures. I waited for this subject to come out and pulled the trigger on a deal for an Early G Smart Kit w/schurzen. If I knew this was coming, I never would have done it. 

I love Dragon and want to marry them...

Nice to see the late-war StuG designs get their due.

Pros: nice to have that difficult at best waffle zimm on already, suakopf matlett is also a nice change of pace on the StuG.

Cons:something else German from Dragon- wow... (said in the best Ben Stein monotone drone)

I always liked the "pigs head mantlet" might be interested along with the T-28 along with that Jagdpanzer IV
