Those prices can't be right, surely?

No, the price for the 1/72 Pz IV can't be right, and the Churchill has to be 1/35. I've crawled all over both of these vehicles, 5 minutes apart, and a Pz IVH can not hide behind the hull of a Churchill!
However, as you can see by the barrel and top edge of the Pz IV, one of these vehicles has been photoshopped in, so maybe the photo tech didn't know the relative sizes of these tanks.
Which raises the problem that Bruce pointed out: if both these models are 1/72, someone has made a serious error on the prices, or both theses models are overpriced by 100%!

That is what Dragon has given for a price on their flyer. I couldn't believe it either and has to be a misprint. Meanwhile Squadron Mailorder lists it for $24.69 (US).
