Re: Today's Dragons in the U.K.

ZS-VANThat Sherman does look very interesting. The 251 with the 7.5cm gun should be awesome if they bring it out alright!


It's the hard-hitting version of the 251, ZS-VAN, so they've gotta make as good a job of the kit version as Hasegawa or ESCI, both nice versions. Also, it's one to do in about 13 different versions between the 251C and 251 D. I have made both kits and married them to Preiser's 75cm pak crew and they look great. if any of you guys build or paint, I would recommend that you have a look at this little set from Preiser. It is the most expensive group from Preiser ( about £5.00 for the five figures ) but the crew looks great when painted. They are wearing late war smocks, so you can use camo effects.

tankguyThat firefly and t-34 are interesting, and not even on dragon's site yet. I do hope we see another commonwealth firefly as these german ones are too much already.


But you've got to admit, tankguy, that Dragon have created an interesting version of the Firefly by adding all that lovely track! I have never seen a pic of this particular vehicle, so I wonder if it's based on a real captured firefly. Probably it is.

PickMattockI really hope they have a Commonwealth scheme of that track covered Firefly in the works. (That already makes three for the Germans, which is about three more than I care for.)


With all that track, PickMattock, you can't really say who the firefly is working for ( unless there are crosses on the rear of the gun counterweight/stowage ) so I'm gonna get one and say that it's been recaptured! I just love all that track!
