Thanks for posting this review,having just got mine as well i agree with what`s said.
NOW FOR THE GRIPE
Trumpeter have re-used that blasted coupling again,making this kit useless without the flatcar that carried the de-mountable tank.IMHO i would much rather that they had released this so that it can fit in with the BR52 locomotive and other carriages that are out there.For them to do this is like selling a tank without the tracks.
C`MON TRUMPERTER,DO`NT DO HALF A JOB.

Dan, if I'm reading this right, you're talking about the coupler in the rear, that hooks up to the tank carrying car. That's kind of a catch-22, if it could hook up like the rest of the train it would not have the auto release function. Agreed that the two Panzerjagerwagens are pretty much stand-alone models at this time, and it should be a fairly simple project for Trumpeter to come out with the flat car (tank not included, please). IMO, though, they will release the other cars first, as in a marketing sense they would be a more interesting subject.
