Missing Tamiya 1/48 scale models???

[Jesse]

Hello!

I just recently started to explore the scale 1/48, as it's better for displaying a single model compared to my normal scale 1/72 (that is better for dioramas with several vehicles and figures - size is an issue in my cramped flat..so I very rarely go for a 1/35 vehicle, unless some tiny light tank/tankette ).
Tamiya has a good line of vehicles in 1/48 but the models I'm interested in (I haven't done them in 1/72 either) seem hard to get. I'm talking about the Stug III Ausf G (early, not with the saukopf mantlet), Pz III Ausf N, Pz IV and the Hetzer. I guess they should be top sellers, german as they are...? Does anyone know why they are totally abscent from many sellers (Hannants, Modelhobbies to name a couple). They are marketed in the Tamiya website, so I guess they haven't cancelled them altogether? Anyone know the reason?

Ah, the Pz IV, thank you! It might be that Tamiya isn't marketing some of the sets in Europe, but does so in the US and Japan/Asia? If so, why?? I have to ask Tamiya...
