Well that's just typical now isn't it. I've been waiting for this kit for months, since I first saw it on their website, to finish off a diorama. Finally gave up on it literally days ago and bought the ARK Models version. Ah well, still going to get this one and if the ARK one turns out to be a bit a of Richard it'll go in the for sale pile.

Different beasties. The Dragon kit is actually a Jagdpanther gun and mantlet fitted to an improvised field mount. Numbers of these were emplaced along the Rhine in 1945. The Ark (formerly Alan) kit is a 1944 production Pak 43 gun on a non standard mount, apparently derived from the prototype of an antiaircraft gun. Nobody could figure out where Alan got its information, and it's a bit of on oddball. AFV Club offers a nice kit of the Pak 43/1 on the expedient howitzer carriage, but so far nob...

Is this the same carridge and mount as used for the late war Flak 37 88m mit behelfslafette? I'm guessing so given DML's recent release of that kit. An interesting choice of kit for sure. I have only ever seen the version of this without the mantlet and built onto a wooden frame in defence of the westwall (seigfried line), perhaps a different choice for modellers? Thanks for posting, James :)

It's great we'ere getting the variety of German artillery that we are, and this looks like a great kit. I'm still waiting for a US 90mm AA gun. It came in multiple variants as well. It was also widely feared and respected. Or the 3 inch AA gun. Where are the counterparts for the artillery duel? I'll just keep waiting. Maybe I'll pick one of these up to keep me busy.

Looks pretty nice! Saw this one announced some time back on DragonUSA ONline so it's nice to know it's out. One more to add to my increansignly growing artillery stash ;) Rob
