Thanks for the update, Jim!

Long awaited, I agree mate, and the added details, including the metal barrel, surely will make this a great build. Looking forward to seeing this in the review section!

I'm doomed...doomed I tell you! I have two of their older 6166 kits in the stash and this has definitely made them obsolete.

Nice indeed, and those tracks will be a welcome addition. I too have the 'old' kit, and although not quite 'obsolete' it might look a bit rough around the edges if parked next to the new Premium Edition...

Hola Jim
The artwork looks possibly Normandie-ish... Were they used there?
Cheers

The question I posted over on ML still stands.

Will they correct the ammo lockers so that there are 2 shells per shelf?
The 6166 kit has only one row of ammo per shelf and should have 2 sheel per shelf.

Anyone in contact w Dragon and can ask?

DML is amazing. They can crank out more kits than most of us can afford I too already have the odler verion of this kit and will probably not buy this one. But I do hope that they give the premium treatment to the Maus, E100 and Panther 2. A paper panzer fan can only hope ( and there is one more secret item in the catalogue not reveiled yet , no.6315)

Good to go ! Thanks for posting this info, Jim. The Nashorn is one of my favorite vehicles. Glad to see Dragon doing is as a premium edition kit

Yet another kit to pre-order on Tuesday morning. Its never ending
