Another option for a Panzer III is on the way from Dragon Models, this one intended to move along the Channel floor to its target.
Dragon Models has announced another variant of the Panzer III, this time a Pz.Kpfw.III (T) Ausf.H. The Tauchpanzer was Hitler’s ambition to invade the British Isles by having tanks drive along the bottom of the English Channel with specially designed breathing equipment and watertight tanks. The new variant from Dragon will includes parts to waterproof the turret ring and gun mantle as well as new DS track.

6775 Pz.Kpfw.III (T) Ausf.H

According to Dragon Models USA this new variant of the Pz.III should be available in February 2015.

I need another Panzer III like another hole in the head. How's about another in the T-34 series like an A-20?

The kit I reviewed was an F, so I don't know anything about this as a G. The Sealion window was quite short, but it seems like a stretch to me.

How about something all together new in 1/35? I am on board with Zvierboi. I would like to see a 1/35 Sd.Kfz.247 Ausf. A kit. Gaso.line makes a conversion in 1/48 using the Tamiya Krupp Protze, and I believe that there is a 1/35 conversion by MR Modellbau, however it is a little hard on the wallet.

I wonder what Dragon's going to do when it runs out of WWII German tanks to make....

Modellers should just be glad that Dragon can produce such a range of accurate and detailed German AFV's...it isn't compulsory to buy them all by the way! Were Dragon not to have raised the bar in the way they have in the past 15 years, we would be stuck with 1970's Tamiya Kits which take all of 30 minutes to build and are of no specific vehicle version in particular. Is that the kind of mundane simplicity really what people are harking back to when they moan about the latest Dragon releases? Let's just celebrate Dragons`achievements in this field and cut the negativity.

redrx7 is right...I am so ashamed.

@redrx7.......It sounds as though you feel that we are complaining about quality. There isn't one comment here that questions the bar raising quality of Dragons kits. You are 100% correct, and I agree with you; what Dragon has done for the hobby is unmatched. The issue is one of variety, not quality...how many stunningly accurate versions of anything is enough?

That's determined by Dragon's bottom line. They wouldn't keep putting them out if they weren't making the company a profit. The variations are cheap for them to make since they actually only have to make a few new sprues, and modify the instructions to put one out.
