It's a re release of their original M7 early. I'm interested to see how they'll tackle the Magic tracks.

I do hope they'll re release their M7 mid.

Ah the re-release scam that Dragon does oh-so-well. That and every freakin' variant of everything. Including napkin drawings. Amazing that they didn't beat the pack and release a Bergepanther based on their excellent Panther series that have been with us now for over a decade. The Sexton is also a nice kit though I can't vouch for its accuracy.

So are they going to re issue every one of their Sherman kits with these new "magic tracks"?

Good news if it has Magic Tracks...
I bought a Sexton recently, unopened box, 2012 release. The DS tracks are still in an oily bag and brittling...

"brittling"? I'm guessing you mean that the tracks are somehow becoming brittle though I don't understand how; though that reference to the bag being oily is troubling. I've got Dragon track in box that is easily fifteen or more years old and they are just as fresh as the day they were cast so I'm thinking some kind of weird contamination on the part of your tracks. I'd discard them rather than trying to clean them up for painting.

I just received a Sexton, yesterday, from a member who was getting out of the hobby. After reading the posting about oily, "brittling" tracks I opened the kit's tracks and fortunately they were both dry & pliable.
Anyway, the Sexton looks to be an "easy" build with a goodly amount of detail. If I have fun with the Sexton a Priest could be in my future.
Now that Bronco Bishop...…..
