Normally Dragon Models leave a gap of a few days between their announcements, this time the've chosen to announce three at more or less the same time.

Thanks for the post Jim. What is unique about the Pz1? I am looking to get an early war / pre war Pz1, but there are quite a few of them out there. I don't have a good background on them.

Hi
What it doesn't appear to have, from the poster, is an interior detail which was present on previous releases of the Panzer I. As per this one

Unfortunately the Panzer I kit doesn`t have any engine-intake armour present - so this limits it to a pre-war version only

With the research,design and development team's Dragon have WHY the Pnz I. Especially if its only good for a pre war version, the box art looks alot later? I really Dont get this one? With the release of the Pnz I with full interior. Cant anyone enlighten me? Geraint ( I am no Pnz I expert, just the basics like diff amount of wheels etc)

Dragon could have used the engine deck from their Panzer Ia "Modified" + interior kit on this particular kit - however they chose not too - the Tristar Panzer 1 kit offers multiple versions of the Ia ( including an interior ) offering their customers the "best of all worlds" apparently Dragon couldn`t care less about their clientel !
