Just noticed on Scalemates that this isn't a new tool PAK40. It's a rebox of the Dragon kit

Hmmmm,i have a Dragon "Premium addition" Pak in the stash with four figures......
I wonder if it`s the same kit then?..... Hard to tell,as can`t see the figures on the "Das Werk" one.

Das Werk is a brand owned by Modellbau König, one of the largest model (web)shops in Europe, and mostly releases reboxed kits from other manufacturers with some parts added and/or changed to make different variants. The only original Das Werk kits I can think of, off the top of my head, are the 1:16 StuG III and Pz.Kpfw. III.

Sadly, the artist who did the box art work for Roden models has been killed near Kyiv.
