Kit Comparison
Dragon Kit #6265 - Tristar Kit #35023
1:35th Scale
Kit Comparison
Superstructure side panel Images
*Dragon kit includes interior visor parts and alternate add-on armour panels.
*The circular Brake cooling air outlet fan cover is a separate part with open bottom as it should be on both kits.
*Wooden Jack Block has etched brackets on both kits.
*Tristar sides include bullet splash guard in front of visor not included on Dragon part.
Images show some Ausf.Ds with and without this feature so both kits would be correct
depending on the vehicle being modelled.
*Visor slit is slightly off centre as with the Tristar visor while the contours
of the Dragon visor appear too sharp.
*Air intake different sizes but images suggest Dragon inlet more appropriate size.
As none of the available plans show the intake this is open to conjecture.
