Dragon have announced the release of the Panzer II ausf F. The kit comes with "Magic tracks," Photo etch and Cartograf decals, plus tools with and without moulded on brackets.
From the poster the turret and hull look to have some interior detail.

Unfortunately this kit will not be available in the U.S.A or Japan but that, I suppose, is where the Internet and modeler´s ingenuity comes in.

I went ahead a pre-ordered that and the other just announced kit. I missed out on the Kubelwagen radio car, so I thougth I would get these. I do agree it is nice of them to add these.

The thing is, the kit number on this is #6263 which has been touted in their catalog and online as a "Secret Item"....but now its going to be a Cyber Hobby kit???

I think it's more a distribution and co-branding by Cyber-hobby. It's not a numbered Cyber-hobby 'boutique' kit. It's not shown as a CH #20 kit. I wonder if they do this to give advertising to Cyberhobby and DragonUSAonline.

The poster I put up came directly from the folks at Dragon with the attached message Please notice that this item is not available from Dragon in North America and Japan, you’ll notice that on the poster =)

Looks very good. One of these will find its way into my stash and hopefully be build at some point Does anybody know what colour schemes are included in the kit? Difficult to see from the decal sheet as it is very small in the poster.

I dont undertand the logic of Dragon: - M4A1(76) - magic tracks (not really magic - pain in [auto-censored] to build). Sherman tracks dont sag! - M4A2 - DS Tracks - good call as sherman tracks dont sag! - M4A3E8 Thunderbolt VII- magic tracks again - M51 Isherman - DS Tracks - good call as they dont sag on the real thing - Tiger 1 Late (New Release) - DS Tracks - Panzer II F - Magic tracks. If any subject cries for DS tracks its the tiny track links of the Pzr II which dont sag ont he real thing. I wonder if the Pzr II F was actually designed a few years ago and finally produced (appears to be a limited run).

Mike, I dont believe it is a limited release, its available from DragonUSAonline and CyberHobby in Japan, for those such as myself that dont live in either of those two countries it will be a regular lhs buy item.

If its not available at a LHS or reasonably priced at a e-retailer, then its a limited release in my book. It may be mainstream in Europe but if Cyberhobby is the exclusive dealer in the Us than its a limited release here in the US.
