Re: Dragon Announcement for October - 1/72 1/72 King Tiger (60263)

And at the prices they are charging we shouldn't have to add anything ourselves.

Here's an interesting thought. Dragon Armor costs less than twice the price of the regular Dragon Models plastic kits that are not built or painted (remember that Dragon Armor tanks are simply Dragon Models plastic kits prebuilt/prepainted). Take a $10 Sherman from the Dragon Models kit range, then take a $16 Dragon Armor Sherman that is the same plastic kit but already built and painted. That's just a $6 difference to have something built and painted. Now say it would take you 2 hours to build and paint it, that means you got paid about $3 an hour. I bet there's no one here willing to work for that amount per hour.

I honestly don't think $16 for a prebuilt/prepainted Sherman is that much when it's only $6 more than the plastic kit. If you're in the US and paying much more than $16 for a Dragon Armor Sherman, then shame on you, LOL.
