Details! Please!
What is included? Do we get the ammo carrier? Stop teasing! [:p]
I want one. [8D]
Wow! What scale is it? I gotta get one of those! My want list just keeps growing and growing…
Please note, ausf, it isn’t me, this time!!
[:P][:P][:D][:D][:P][:P][tup][tup][wow]
I want one…but it will cost me a fortune [V]
At the Dragon site’s Shuzuoka Hobby Show update section, it has that pic with this caption:

Am I nuts, or has Trumpeter had this same kit announced for a while now?
Yes ! Karlgerat with the rail transport set and the PzIV Munissionschlepper is included in the box too! I wonder what the size of the box is, something like Heller HMS Victory, I suppose.

TY for the links.
I believe you are correct.
EDIT: Looking at their site and noticed that a lot of the Sd. Kfz. 250 kits (probably others too) are not avaliable in Japan. Why is this?
What scale will it be? Will it be all plastic? [:0][:0][:0]
[wow]
AAAAAHHHHHH!! DETAILS MAN! DETAILS! [banghead][banghead][xx(]
It’s 1/35th scale. We’ve actually discussed this a couple of times here in previous threads. Yup, it’s been announced forever, but now it’s coming. Very cool. As far as I know, it’s all plastic. I posted a link to some pictures of the master for the kit, and it seemed to be all plastic. (Don’t know about the gun barrel, though.)
Anyway, I’m glad I held off on the Dragon one. This one has the transport cars and it’s probably more detailed, at least if the K5 comparison holds true to the Morsers too.
From what I recall, both kinds of Morser will be buildable from one kit. Oh, and I think the carrier is a separate kit from the vehicle itself, which if true means you can use the Trumpeter carrier along with the Dragon gun. I don’t think the gun would mind, particularly if the carriers are not portrayed attached to the vehicle (this might actually explain the delay – mebbe Trumpeter wanted to be sure its carriers were completely compatible with the Dragon gun).
Don’t quote me on any of this though!
I’ll bet no one’s going to do this as a weekend build!! lol
Nice, but can we buy it without the Morser? I already have a Loki loitering about… terrorizing the mice.

The carrier and the gun are listed on some sites as separate kits, so I would provisionally say, JAWOHL!
Good Lord. You could keep the box to use as a trundle bed. Now if it were 1/144… are the panzer corps sets available in the US??
What I hope is that they issue the PzIV Munissionschlepper as a separate kit just becouse the Karlgërat has many pitfals. The article in AFV modeller by David Parker is second to none and the amount of work he had is quiet a bad mood in a $75 kit. When I compare Dragon and Trumpeter Leopolds I just hope Trumpeter will continue that trend of ultramegahyper detailled kits. But we may be talking about models that has a total of 1500 parts. I guess we have plastic just to tack and glue until Christmas. 2005 will be the time to paint them.
Oh you got me all excited about a new tank kit , not another Morter and train
Your evil influence is spreading[:0]
I want it in 1/16. I need to build an addition first.
KABOOM!!! [:-,]I gotta get that! Along with…
Tamiya
t-62
King Tiger porshce turret
Shwimmwagon
Kublewagon
m4 shermie
Jeep
Academy
Tiger 1 w/interior
m1a1
tiger 1 late w/interior
THE LIST GOES ON, em I sick or what?..
[:P]
Ryan, you’re in luck! You don’t have to buy one of those kits. Academy doesn’t make a Tiger I Late with interior (or without). They only have the early and mid production models.
Sorry.
I’m sorry, Nuno, but I don’t follow that. Are you saying that David Parker was given a Trumpeter Morser to build?
Captain Caveman, think of it as a giant, slow, indirect-firing tank. We can’t have enough Karls! Karls and Mausen.
Who needs kits of inconsequential vehicles like Israeli Centurions or an early war Sherman M4A1s when there are German vehicles that were never completed, or fired three times? [:p]
