    Odd selection! - I'd have thought a flute, tambourine, saxophone, trombone, rather than banjos or mandolins!

      To me, the one that doesn’t fit is the marching bass drum? Can’t think of a scenario where it would be used with the other instruments. Trumpets are a little strange as well. Otherwise it looks like an American folk/Appalachian set up. They’ve got the accordion well covered haven’t they

        Hi Rich

        I think Its the dragon 6454 kit, with extra G parts allowing you to make either a StuH or StuG G. There are some issues with accuracy though.

          Thats a shame Bob.But it could be sufficent for a non expert mogeller like me.

            Its not too bad.but you would have to use parts from another kit to cure it

            On the other side its a lot cheaper than trying to get the orignal Dragon kit!

            Thankfully not everyone is a StuG sado lol

              The mandolins will fit Balkan Partisans and banjos for the American Civil war. The base drums are the odd ones out. I thought at least a piano could substitute some of the accordions.

              Cheers,
              Richard

                    Hi Richard

                    From what i can see, wrong frontal armour, 50 not 80mm. The kit has zimmerit but its missing from the rear and being a tad nerdy. The front plates were interlocked welded. Not had a close look so not sure about anything else?

                    Its not a huge amount but dissapointing that Dragon has these parts etc on other kits so could have simply added those. Not sure how much it is but i know the orginal kits are expensive.

                    Not buying it as surprise, surprise i have the kits!

                          It's not clear if this is a separate set, or will be boxed with the WOT 8 BM Launcher

                              Given the excellent reviews of their other Hurricanes, this should be popular.
                              Nothing about what the other releases may be
