      No they have not, the instructions are frankensteined from 3 generations of instructions-photo, line drawing and detailed line drawing. Same for painting guides, half are photos half drawings. However you get the best plastics they have for the kit plus usually 3d printed extras, which look really good.

  • @Swellington_
    @Swellington_ 2 месяца назад +6

    Dragon was pretty much on top for a few years when it came to WWll German armor,particularly Tiger 1 kits, and they invested a lot in research with David Byrden heping with translating all the stuff that makes a Tiger a Tiger but in 35th scale,he was in a cpl of the same facebook groups as me and when someone mentioned anything about the Tiger,regardless of relevancy,he would make sure to correct em if they had any details incorrect and a few of us started saying stuff wrong intentionally just to get him going,we thought it was hilarious but he loves talking about tanks and he absolutely knows his stuff,but anyway,when Ryfield and Border came on the scene Dragons been left in the dust but apparently theyre not going down yet and thats great,makes the market more competitive,I remember getting the Wittman Tiger brand new for something like 80 bucks which is ridiculous,now you can get a Tiger 1 with a full interior for 80 bucks,Dragon was busting heads,glad to see em back releasing stuff

    The German half-track that was command center. The structure along side the hood is a modified exhaust port. The reason for this is to muffle the engine noise for obvious reasons. i.e. hearing the radio while the engine is running, staying quiet as possible so that your command isn't compromised. Batteries were primitive in those days so they had to be charged often. That's my hypothesis. I don't think that it would be a tea steamer. Those would be on British Armor. 😅

    Great news! Really like their figures! The one vehicle kit I'm really interested in is the 15 cm SIG 33 auf Panzerkampfwagen I Ohne Aufbau Ausf.B. It's the one with the massively tall shield and the 150mm gun; early war SPG.

  • @mentalneil

    For your information, the M4A4 Sherman with the 60lb tulip bombs was a Guards Armoured Division vehicle, the 1st Bn Cold stream Guards tried them first, and managed to get them from RAF Typhoon crews, I did a lot of research into them and had never ever seen one built, so I set about building a Dio with 2 Firefly's with them fitted, and I'm about to sell the Dio after some 5yrs of building it up

    Love Dragon I used to build them professionally for Museums, high end collectors and online model magazines. Not seeing any W.W.2 Planes kits AIMS makes some awesome conversions for them too.. Hope they upgraded them as well. Can anyone tell me why not one single model company makes a DO-217K in 1/48 or 1/32 scale? You can get crappy ones in 1/72 scale and old conversion kits for Revells old 1/48 DO-217E if you are lucky enough to find one of those old conversions that the canopy hasn't turned yellow. No one makes a JU- 390 kit either no even in 1/72. I built 1/72 JU-390 for a high end collector in Japan out of 2 Revell JU-190 kits so it would not take much for Revell to add a few extra parts and make a few small changes to its current 1/72 JU-290 kit if they ever wanted to release a 390 kit.

I also like to think the instructions will have improved but wishfull thinking on many of us..
