Re: Some new goodies for November

SU-85M does look excellent. Although, the Russian book that I have titled "SPGs of the Red Army of WWII" has a slightly different rendering of the same vehicle. Worse yet, it's identified as "unidentified", and I couldn't find any B&W photos of it:

My sources identify this vehicle as either a Su-100 or a Su-85M of 383rd SP Artillery Rgt, 9th Tank Corps in Berlin. All are in accordance with the profile provided by Berkut76, and one of these sources could be Dragon itself!! They seemingly have this same option in their Su-85M/Su-100 kit in 1/35 scale, and the built-up models I've seen on the Net show markings applied as in Berkut's profile.

A photograph taken from the starboard side also matches the profile attached by Berkut76. So... Why don't we let Dragon know about this issue, so that they can get it right before the model is released?
