Hm! Interesting- Might make a nice companion piece to the other new DRAGON Hetzer-based vehicles...

I don't believe Dragon has ever made Magic Tracks that would suitable for the Hetzer.

Does the "FlaK" version have "Link-and-length" Tracks or "Magic Tracks"? I suppose ANYTHING, (on vehicles without Upper Return Rollers, anyway), would be better than the "DS" Tracks... IMO, "Link-and-length" Tracks would be fine, I guess. At least less-experienced modelers would be able to replicate the proper "Track-sag", without having to assemble the rather tedious "Indy-link" Tracks, link by link, by link... "Purists" will still want to replace the kits' Tracks in ANY CASE, with A/M Tracks, such as FRIULs, for instance...

I am quite happy DML do that Version of the Hetzer. New kits on Hetzer are my favourites after all I build all my kits with Friuls so I donÂīt care about the kittracks . The Rest Looks good and I surely will buy one for my collection and builing that one looks like real fun .

**They did make two options - their original indy tracks from the 90s that required a lot of clean up, and the more recent CyberHobby no. 3854 which are still available online.
