"Easy and Fun Build"

tsm5031

If you are looking for hyper detail that is as close to the real thing then this isnt a kit you should go for. However, with that being said I really like this model because it accomplishes everything it was trying to go for to its target audience. The ease of assembly and great detail on this model made this an enjoyable and quick build. Aside from the DS tracks and some few minor details shortcuts this kit nailed it for me. I highly recommend this to modelers that looking are a looking for a fun quick build and for beginners.

"Brand new, lower parts count kit"

iraqiwildman (Jefferson City, MO)

This kit is the first armor kit in the 1/35 Platz line from Dragon. They have taken the Panzer IV from their Girls Und Panzer line, re-boxed it and gave it new decals and instruction sheet. The molding is from 2012 and has about 175 parts, with DS tracks. This is quite a reduction in parts then from other Dragon kits. Slide molding technology allows Dragon to mold past subassemblies into one or two pieces. The box is overall white with just a black strip and one picture of the tank, no real box art like other Dragon kits. This kit consists of only five sprues with almost all the parts being used- very rare for a Dragon armor kit. There is no photo etched, tow cable or clear parts. The small decal sheet only has two options, both from the summer of 1941 Balkans campaign. The instruction sheet is typical Dragon trifold, but is only six pages, with four pages for the 12 construction steps. These instructions are surprising good and clear for Dragon. There was only question I had was on the rear, lower hull plate where the muffler mounts. The exact location of the muffle is questionable and these is no detail picture of it to see what it should look like after assembly. I am very impressed with the lever of detail combined with the easy of construction. I had this kit built in about 10 hours over seven days, the fastest I have ever built a Dragon kit. This kit really felt like a new Tamiya kit with very good fit and not way too many parts. The box states that the next kit in this new line will be a Tiger. There are 11 kits in the Platz Girls Und Panzer line right now, so I can see Dragon re-boxing these with new decals and instructions for the Western market.
