Tamiya doesn't rebox Dragon tanks, and this is an all new kit. I wouldn't really call it a retool - that implies reworking the old mold, like Dragon DID do with their Jagdtiger. Dragon's new Premium kit is sessentially their 15 year old kit with new tracks and a metal gun. Tamiya's kit should be essentially new from the ground up, with the possible exception of the wheels. It is said to have a partial interior too.
Dragon's JT is an excellent kit and is hard to beat, EXCEPT in the buildability area. Tamiya stuff is nearly snap together in that regard. |
