 Subject:  Where are all the new kits?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Oct 8, 2006
 From:  Paul A. Owen 
It's kind of funny, to me at least, that there is a build up of excitement over announced new kits. The months of anticipation, discussions of scraps of information on the new kit and then finally after the kit is available the reviews and flurry of discussion, etc.

And then... nothing is ever heard of them again.

Where are all the Tristar Panzer IVs, the Tristar Pz.38(t) kits? DML's Sd.Kfz.234 models? The new DML Shermans, etc. I've seen a few but not in the numbers expected considering the initial excitement.

Do these kits just end up in the closet?

How many of you are going to be building the new DML M4A2 Tarawa this year, will you submit it here?

Paul.
