I imagine it will be cheaper considering their kits so far average
almost $2 U.S. cheaper than Revell or Italeri. Then again who knows
maybe the zimmerit attempt will eat up the profit. If it comes with a
decent number of extra parts, then It'll be worth it, e.g. the Panther G
kit having some JagdPanther sprues in it.
They already had a line of RC 1/72d Tigers, and some pre-finished 1/72
scale Tigers. So why not tweak the molds some and make model kits?

I wouldn't go that far. I would say somewhat uninspired though. I like
the Elefant and Ferdinand, but I want some other subjects done in this
scale. I bought both of them to support their efforts in this, but if
it's "all Nazi, all the time" I won't be buying much in this scale from
DML. Not that my measly purchases will turn CEO's heads though...
> And their next kit is a Bradley? Hey, now THAT'S original!
Originality will come forth when they decide to do ACCURATE Shermans and
their variants.
>I can't wait until they start releasing Panzer IIIs and IVs...
I can.
