Hey Folks, Dragon USA has informed me that this item will only be released overseas it will not be available in the US.

That's good new since this is the ugliest model they have produced to date

Have you seen the Jagdtiger with "Trojan" on top? Also I hope that "region-exclusivity" is not part of a trend pioneered by Minichamps in 1:43 scale to boost "desirability" of undesirable models.

Any link to a pic of this tank?

Here's the link to Dragon Armor Page, looks like they need to do a better since many of their releases are missing .

Since these are undoubtably just slightly modified old unsold panthers, they may not have had enough available to release it generally. Though I wouldn't put anything past them at this point.

Here's a picture of 60268.

And a description that I found:
Dragon Armor 1/72 Captured Panther G Soviet Army Eastern Front Lake Balaton Hungary 1945 (60268)
Dragon Armor has previously released “captured” tanks in its 1/72 scale range. These have included a T-34/76 in German use and a Sherman Firefly also in German service. Germany was critically short of tanks after it bit off more than it could chew by opening an Eastern Front against Russia, so it employed additional tanks wherever it could find them. However, in Dragon Armor’s latest release the shoe is on the other foot (or should that be the track is on the other road wheel?)! This time, a captured German Panther Ausf. G tank is in service with a Russian unit! The tank still carries its original 3-colour camo scheme but it is identified as a Russian tank by the red star with white outline painted on the turret sides. The German camo scheme and the recently added Soviet insignia are carefully painted over a textured coat of zimmerit.

An interesting piece but it looks like the ordinary German tanks apart from the ensignia so it doesn't really stand out. I'll wait until I see it.
