Dragon Models have unveiled the two remaining secret items they were promising, today at the Tokyo Hobby Show...
The first, which has been the subject of intense speculation all week, is actually the second to be announced at Tokyo and the third in 1/35th scale:



I have been told that the design process used on the M1a1 AIM is being used on this as well...

The second announcement is definitely unexpected and unusual, using the PzIV Chassis, this is being produced in 1/35th scale:

Hi all, I'm not sure what the Eduard PE sets cost in Europe or elsewhere but I just bought 1 set of the Zimmerit for the DML Brumbar (late), 1 detail set and a set of side skirts for the Italeri Hetzer for about $36.00 including S&H. LINK (there is a link to Greatmodels webstore at the top of this page) has AM and PE on sale right now. If your in the market for these sets now may be a good time to hook yourself up! It's the AM tracks that cost an arm and a leg. Jeff

What's wrong with the sahariana? I paid £20 for it and it's quality. We are talking about the resin engine, 2 figures etc right, or am I thinking of something completely different?

These kits are greate. I would like to see more kits like thats.
OCT 24, 2006 - 03:05 AM
We have choice. Don't you think ?

Too small !!!!?? They are up to the scale yeah.

He wasn't talking about scale he was pointing out that there are a lot of tiny pieces. As to the kits, I too don't like the directions. Maybe they ought to print the assembly stuff as either different sets or add separate pages for the three variations keeping the common assembly like undercarriage as the first part.

well Eduard etch has just come down in price and Atak zim kits are fairly cheap and gorgeous, both adding about 40 bucks to a $35 Dragon kit that already comes with a ton of extras, still much less then the 'Tamiya' aproach to adding goodies when they take old kits and add indies, basic etch, and a metal barrell for some $75. I would imagine some of the older kits will get reworked slightly into smart or premium versions like the Panther, Elefant, T34, and King tiger have. I had just mentioned they need to upgrade the Stug as there is no 'ultimate' modern kit of it right now and Dragon already has at least 5 versions but are all about 10 years old-and two days later it was announced one's in the works.
