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

You're right MoMo, that Bradley is a real gem, and I think every collector should get one!

As regards the Su-100, I've been studying the preliminary pictures by Dragon and the model seems very accurate in all aspects. The paint scheme represents a tank in the 7th Mechanized Corps in January 1945; at that time this unit was in the outskirts of Budapest, and was instrumental in stopping Operation Konrad (Konrad I), a fierce attempt to relieve the surrounded garrison of Budapest by German and Hungarian forces in which three Waffen-SS armoured divisions were involved. The Germans attempted three different moves (Konrad I, II, and III) on a landscape thickly covered with snow, their units emerging each time from a different point in the thick forest areas around the Danube. This Su-100 by Dragon was there in the snow to stop them!
