Is this the early production tank that everyone has been waiting for? It sounds very good from the description. Just have to wait and see what the price point will be.

Hope the figures are new and not an old re-release... Because this kit is tempting...

It looks like Dragon is hitting the Tigers hard. I look forward to the Orange Box kits this is sure to precede.

This kit is a Command Tiger, with possibly just one set of decals. We can hope for Earlies to follow.

I am presuming the second production release may have different decals, as only the initial release included the Wittmann figures.

Yes,these are new figgies. This scene they are modeled after is the occasion of Wittman getting his Ritterzreuz. Also present were Peiper and Wisch as at this time the LSSAH still had a company of heavies in its' PzRegt.

Your mouth to the Lizard's ear, haha!

This kit will likely sell out or be hugely expensive. I would prefer a more vanilla Early, but this is definitely a step in the right direction if they are listening to David.

Heard about US $79.99 which means oevr 80 of my hard earned Euros here in Germany. At the end it's another overpriced Tiger with those lousy DS tracks. So what?

For this huge amount of money I can grab 2 or 3 exquisite and really new model kits from Miniart or Masterbox...

That's true, but Dragon's CH Mid-Tiger sold out before those of us who pre-ordered could even get one.
