trumpeters stug?

QUOTE: I read recent reviews of the new Stug release from Dragon,

zok:
Where did you see the review?? Did they like the kit?

It might be the dragon kit I was talkin with my friend at the LHS about alot of kits so your probably right ,which is why there is a question mark in the titleeither way it is still pretty cheap and that leopard railgun they just released Oh my it is a monster.

I think J-Hulk is right. I read recent reviews of the new Stug release from Dragon, and it's as you describe it, some photoetch, plus turned aluminum barrel. I haven't heard of anything of the sort from Trumpeter, and I tend to stay fairly up to date on their stuff. They haven't released any WWII German armour yet in 1/35, (except the Leopold ) and I haven't seen plans for any releases this year either, except the Morser Gerat, another railway gun.
I think you're probably referring to the Dragon kit...

I'm looking at an ad for a "new" Dragon Stug right now in Armour Modelling Magazine. A Stug III ausf. G, 105mm Howitzer. An old kit reissued with new metal parts, new sprockets, and new additional armor, according to the ad. List price is 3,570 yen ($34 USD).
Are you sure you didn't hear about this release (from Dragon), and not a Trumpeter Stug?

I just threw $30 at the monitor. I'm in, where is it? where is it?

Really? I'm listening! That's alot of goods for the price. Haven't heard anything, I'm just excited because they're releasing a KV-1 sometime this year.
