What a day it's been for me! I visited two shops and found a pile of Dragon stuff which I had been waiting for.
First :
GERMAN Sd.Kfz.251/2 Ausf.C RIVETTED VERSION. I got two of these just as the guy was taking them out the box at Treasure Bunker. I was pleased to see that the etched metal trays for the ammo boxes were well represented and that the whole of the rear arrangement for the vehicle was looking perfect. Also, the etched brass overlays for the hull which carry the rivets was there too. There is a great deal more work involved in assembling this 251/2 type than the standard model, so collectors should appreciate the fine detail. I do.
Next : GERMAN SDKFZ 251/2 AUSF.C HALF-TRACK RIVETTED HULL EASTERN FRONT 1942
You can see the detail in this pic. Even nicer in the flesh! There was only one of these in the Wargamers' shop ( Static/A1 Comics ) next to the Treasure Bunker, so I got it. Two really excellent models. Both are unidentified by unit markings, so if you like to build up squads, like LegioLXXll, then these are the two to go for.
Next :
SHERMAN M4A3 105mm VVSS 6th ARMOURED DIV. LUXEMBOURG 1944
This is the first of the
TWO snow camo 105s which I bagged! I'm really pleased with the camo job. Well done, Dragon!
Next : the second M4A3 105. Dragon Armor 60283 M4 Sherman Tank Diecast Model
US Army 4th Armored Div, France, 1944. Not as dramatic as the first model, but quite pleasing nevertheless!
I still have more to post ( what a good day I had ) but I'll create a new posting so that I don't tax the patience of the
'don't post too many pics in the one post' rule!
