Pretty nice looking model. I wonder why Italeri is boxing Dragon figures with their new release? Could it be that Italeri and Dragon are feeling some heat from Trumpeter?

Hmmmm

I don't know how the price situation will work out for your locality but on one of the UK retailer sites (Hannants), they list the Trumpeter kit at 39.99GBP and the Italeri kit (still listed as a future release) at 32.99GBP. Incidently, the Dragon figures retail on the same site as 7.50GBP. I'll leave you to do the maths, if Italeri should ever do the kit without the figures.

The only webstore that listed the Italerie kit had it for about $7 more than the Trimpeter kit. Have the Dragon figures been released separately? I looked for them, but didn't find any listings? I figured picking up the Trumpeter kit on ebay for around $40 and then the figures for around $5. Cheapest I've found the Trumpeter kit at a store was $49

Thosee Dragon Infantry figures has been out for a few months.

You think that Dragon and Italeri could team up for more figure/tank combos? A Sherman with the Dragon US tank crew?

Well what i see is a nice model that gives many dioramas options . and the feature of nine figures is important not only for money saving , but for getting a complete pack and feel respected as a buyer .

Will enter my get list for sure
