Does anyone know if or when Dragon will produce the Panzer IV's lineup?

It's hard to say, they haven't had any sort of release or announcement in their 1:72 scale plastic kit line of the Panzer which would be a good sign it was not too far off in the Dragon Armor line.

I certainly don’t know when, but I’d bet heavily that they will release some good-ole basic panzers eventually. Well, more than some, probably closer to ALL of them. Every scheme ever photographed, filmed, painted, or hinted at. We could definitely use some Panzer IVs. (What we don’t need are more King Tigers…Ever.) Enough with the big sexy machines (especially ones that never saw combat) and give us the most common German tank of WWII…One that actually saw action. GASP!

I’m confident they’ll get around to them eventually. It took them forever just to get a Sherman made, but it happened. Just have to be willing to wait. As long as people will buy repaint after repaint of lumbering fantasy beasts (I'm talking to YOU Maus buyers!), Dragon will keep pumping them out. I for one like to see battle proven machines with real history behind them, like the Panzer IV. My armor collection looks completely silly without them, when it should be built around them.

You could always go with some of the 1:72 diecast CDC Armour Panzers until Dragon or others come out with them. They're pretty nice, though a bit expensive now that they're no longer in production.

Hey there White Rook. Good to see another Combat! aficionado.
I've been wondering why Draggin' hasn't done the Panzer IV myself.
Due to the myriad of variants, I would think it would be right up their alley.
If they won't do it, maybe Admiral will.

Thanks guys, I agree will all your sentiments. I would be nice to have all the common items. I would also like to see Allied halftracks, jeeps, and other tanks

Hi Sgt. Saunders,

US halftracks by Corgi and Forces of Valor are already available in 1:72 diecast, with the Forces of Valor halftrack being quite nice. You can also get US jeeps from Hongwell/Cararama. More 1:72 diecast softskins from manufacturers is a must though.

You can see pictures of the halftracks and jeep I mentioned above at the following website: http://www.diecast72.com
