Description: I want to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. This is the very first kit in the long line of Orange Super Value Packs from Cyber Hobby (Dragon) that has become very hard to find. It is fitting that Cyber Hobby chose the StuG III for this place of honor, given its importance and widespread usage across all fronts. I figure this is the right time for someone else to enjoy this or to give it as a much-welcomed gift. This Super Value Pack kit is a repackaging of the very successful Dragon StuG III Ausf.F kit (#6033) with the bonus of a highly detailed set of Magic Tracks and four crew figures reloading in Russia 1941 (DML #6192). I found almost a dozen listings for this kit on eBay (many opened), but as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have this in stock and can reliably ship this very quickly. Here is some of the info I found from around the web: The cyber-hobby.com site has a page that simply shows the box art and has the following information about this kit: Orange: the new color of value Cyber-Hobby is proud to announce a new series in our growing line of products, the Orange Box! Globally consumers are now demanding more 'bang for their buck' in model kits. Cyber-Hobby answered that demand, and the result is a super value packed model kit series, the Orange Box! In the box are classic model kits upgraded with a combination of tracks, figures or updated OVM. Most importantly, the price tag is very friendly on your wallet! Cyber Hobby understands the needs of modelers and aims to keep the hobby strong! - Value Added Magic Tracks- Bonus Figures Set: Sturmgeschütze Crew Reloading, Russia 1941 Scalemates.com shows that this is a 2009 release (with new parts) based on the original Dragon Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.F kit (DML #6033) from 1994 that has been the basis of a staggering 28 releases across the Dragon, Cyber Hobby, Hasegawa, Italeri, Revell, Zvezda and Platz brands. They have the box art and a link to download the complete, full-color 10-page instruction set and painting guide. There are also many links to reviews, aftermarket parts and resources that could be useful. Andrzej Snigorski published a detailed In-Box Review on the archive.armorama.com site. He provides a lengthy history of assault guns and the development of the StuG. We get 30 high-resolution photos of the sprues, hull, decals, tracks and PE parts to let us know exactly what you get. He describes the quality of the plastic parts and the assembly and painting instructions. He liked this kit, saying in his Conclusion: “Cyber-Hobby once again proves that it is possible to offer a very decent model kit for a good price. What you get for about $30 USD is diorama-ready kit showing a great vehicle with its crew at work. MagicTracks and a few PE parts allow additional detailing.” Doug Halke did an extensive Build Review on the reviews.ipmsusa.org site that methodically provides insights on the StuG parts, the figures, the tracks, decals and instructions. Then he walks us through the vehicle construction steps, figures construction and painting of everything. He feels that the Magic Tracks require some work, but the results are worth the effort. His Conclusion started with: “Even with its age showing, this model was a huge enjoyment to build and is well within the skill level of any fairly experienced modeler. Out-of-the-box, you get a pretty easy build with no major fit complications and a finished model that looks like a StuG.III Ausf.F when done.” Tactical Jackalope posted a quick 4-minute Unboxing Video on YouTube that starts with the instruction before pulling out the sprues. He doesn’t take the parts out of the bags, but you get an overview of the contents. This kit is in a large, sturdy box about 15” x 9.5” x 3”. As you can see from the pictures, the package is in perfect condition and still sealed with the original shrink wrap, so I consider it factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This item contains one complete injection molded plastic model kit with over 400 grey plastic parts, two frets of photo etched metal parts, Magic Track links (72 left and 72 right), a sheet of Cartograf decals and a bonus set of four crew figures loading rounds. It requires cement and paint to complete as shown. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays winning bid and for a limited time, this item is offered with $8 Flat Rate Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions for combined shipping. Good luck! Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
