The Tiger is not in the initial launch, should be in November... just for Christmas!!

Yes, decal and assembly instruction are included. Sample painting guide at back of box, but you should also research more painting scheme on the internet or publications.

Good show! Glad to see there is an option for no spaced armour on the III turret

Sorry Porkmann, you will be disappointed... we have overlooked the rendering until the box are printed. However, we have plans to do another Panzer III variant... this time without the spaced armour!
-
Ah! Nothing is perfect. I will use Blitzkrieg Js for my Ns with your gun in place of the L/60.
Are the "normal" twin mufflers included? The wading version was very much an M feature.
I am an Ostfront player so I like the M but find it a weird choice as it was not a common model. Being used mostly in the East with a few in Italy and perhaps Tunisia.
A J/L/N kit would have been my choice but you are to be applauded for your efforts!
-
Porkmann: Both the Panzer IV and III are our first two kits (done almost a year ago), even though we have done a lot of research, we still find a lot of inconsistencies afterward. For the latter kits, a cross reference system was setup to ensure more historical accuracy.
This is also one of the reasons why we setup this forum. The forum is a good tool for us to show our WIP projects and to enable people who are interest in our projects to give advice and to point out the obvious... We want to create something we are proud of!
Unfortunately the Panzer III do not have the twin mufflers included. A simple conversion should do the job. But we are working on a StuG III Ausf. G, which had the normal mufflers... (oops! secret is out!)
-
Rubicon that is one reason I am looking forward to these, plastic is so much fun to convert and tinker with!
Just wish I had a few to review!
-
Just wanted to say that your box art is really good - well done. I hope you can keep up this standard, as it's way better than many more established companies' box art.

Here is the Tiger I box art:

We have made some minor changes to the new assembly instruction sheets, now include "coloured" hightlights to ease assembly decisions!
Will continue to improve quality of life for our customers...

Fabulous artwork - with the exception of the SdKfz 251/7, which looks a bit rushed (the perspective on the balkan cross is odd and the side lockers have disappeared; also, the Ausf D was produced after the dark grey base colour was superseded by dark yellow, so it shouldn't be grey). I particularly like the artwork for the SdKfz 251/1 and the T-34/85 - it really sells what promise to be great kits.
-
The artwork is beautiful! Is it possible to post these someplace where they can be downloaded without the overprint text to use as wallpaper? Just a thought..... then when I turn on the PC I'll be reminded that I need to order more of these
-
Those pics are really whetting my appetite now 8)
The grey Hannomag is certainly a little regrettable but certainly won't stop me from buying any of those.
I just *need* those Hannomags.
And StuGs..
How long till they hit the shelves do you reckon??
