I have been on the fence for some time about which Jadgpanther to get. I'm watching both Tamiya versions, Static and Full Option for a Mikes Tiger kind of build of just a straight Tamiya build. I also have Eric from Taigen on the line awaiting a look at their metal jobbie with the complete metal lower, etc., for a detail build. This gives me more food for thought. Thanks, Doc. ( and I haven't forgotten that IS-2 coming out later this year either ) *chuckles* Congratulations on that beautiful kit!

Well, Painless, it would appear that there's a Modeller's crossroads in the Colorado mountains, and you're standing at it.. 
Being spoiled for choice has to be a good thing. Personally, however, of late I've found that all of these roads tend to lead ..to Tamiya.The thing is, this model has been discontinued. Thus, it seemed to become imperative to get this minimalist starter kit at the very least, before even it became but a memory..
), it really will have to wait. It's alarming how even the price of a static kit is moving skyward currently, and hence the urgency in getting one. Yes, B Man, Tamiya may well reintroduce the full-option version at some unspecified time in the future; but it could be a long, L O N G wait.. 
I wouldn't want to wait for a generation for that to happen, or the address on the box might be: '1, The Pearly Gates' or, more likely: 'No 1, Fourth tier of Hell",,
