The first two Dragon Armor Tigers w/zimmerit, 60021 and 60022. The weathering on the Normandy Tiger's tracks is pretty bad, but it could be worse:


60097, my first winter Tiger:

I finally got a hold of a Kurland Panther (60010) that didn't cost a fortune. Believe it or not, I got it for $9.99! You can still find deals on eBay if you're patient enough... the guy had it listed as Buy It Now for that price.

The description for this tropical Bf 109 says that it was Marseille's last ride. It looks great even if it isn't true:

My brand new, long-awaited early Jagdpanther (60038). It may be a somewhat inaccurate representation, but it looks great and it was well worth the wait.

My equally new winter StuG III Ausf G (60312).

Sherman V Tulip (60308). I dropped it on the floor right after I took this picture and had to re-glue one of the rocket platforms. There was much cursing, and thankfully the fiancee wasn't around to hear it:

My "Black Panthers" M4A3(76)W VVSS (60163). What collectors say about Dragon Armor Shermans is absolutely correct - the level of detail is mind-boggling. It's superior to my FoV Sherman and lightyears ahead of my Easy Model Sherman:

Latest Panzer III Ausf M by Admiral Toys. Their customer service on this board has been so great that I plan on being a loyal customer of theirs for a long time:

Sturmtiger 60025, one of the first releases. I couldn't resist getting it at the price it was available for:

Ferdinand 60053, a later model than the Elefant I already have. I couldn't resist getting it - the camoflage looks great:

Jagdtiger (P) 60126. It's the special version that has the gun in its travel lock. One or more in every case of Dragon Armor models was a special model if I recall correctly - at least, when it came to earlier releases:

StuG IV 60118 - my winter StuG IV. It's a late model, so it complements the other early model that I have:
.
My fleet of SdKfz 251s!

SdKfz 251/7 Ausf D with the cool squeeze-bore 28mm gun:

SdKfz 251/2 Ausf C rivetted construction:

SdKfz 251 Ausf C - the only vanilla 251 I have, and I got it because of the great camoflage:

My T-34/76 mod 1941s:

T-34/76 mod 1941 60135:

T-34/76 mod 1941... and here's the thing. It came in the box for 60134, the first T-34 released - a T-34/76 mod 1940. The turret is not correct for that model - the gun should have a shorter barrel and the mantlet should be cast, not welded. I got an actual 60134 today and I don't know if I have a one-off mistake on Dragon's part or that I was sent a customization by mistake.

The actual mod 1940:

Pride of my modern 1:72 collection: an M2A3 Bradley representing a unit serving in Iraq, and one of Dragon Armor's most recent releases:

Another Iraqi Bradley, an M2A2 w/o the reactive armour. This is the one I'm going use for comparison shots with the Forces of Valor Bradley:

Easy Model AS-90 named "THOR"... it might not look as good in the photograph as it does in person. The details aren't as crisp as they would be on a Dragon Armor model (in fact, if Dragon released this one, I'd gret rid of the Easy Model version). It'll do for now though, and it looks nice sitting next to my Basra Challenger 2.

M1A1(HA) representing a unit serving in the Mojave Desert in 1993:

M1A1(HA) representing a unit serving in Bosnia in 1996:


I am still trying to find the only M1A2 released by Dragon, 60018, at a reasonable price. I want to compare it to my Forces of Valor M1A2.
That's it for now - I'm still waiting for two Shermans, the new SdKfz 251/10 and my 21C pre-orders from the WWII Attic. Yes, I'm aware that the color is washed in my new photographs - I'm still learning how to use my fiancee's brand new camera.

[Cavtanker]

There's actually 2 M1A2s released by Dragon. I'll see if I can find some pics of them both for you. I believe there is the 'C6' M1A2 and either '332' or '322' M1A2 from Dragon. The '332' or '322' M1A2 is the exact same tank as the FOV M1A2. I prefer Dragon's M1A2 myself.

The Mojave desert USMC Abrams has U.S. Army bumper markings on the rear of the tank. I painted over those. Sort of drove me nuts seeing USMC on the sides and U.S. Army on the rear.

In the bottom front is both of the Dragon M1A2s:

[ChairmanMilo]

CavTanker - I can't seem to find a model number other than 60016 for Dragon Armor M1A2s. The two you have there are definitely A2s, but it's anybody's guess as to which model the left one is - Dragon Armor USA's website only lists one A2. Thanks for sharing those photos - looks like you have a great collection of 1:72 USMC and USA vehicles. The decal on the Mojave A1(HA) bothered me too! Thankfully the way I have it displayed hides the weird USA markings on its rear end...

After taking advantage of the great clearance sale at the Flying Mule, I'm waiting for the following to come to me in the mail!

FOV 85048 1:72 M3A1 halftrack w/105mm howitzer (from MustangPhil484 @ eBay)
21C 99413-S1 1:32 Panzerjaeger 38(t) Ausf M
21C 99414-S1 1:32 Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) Ausf E/F (both pre-orders from Matt @ the WWII Attic in Quebec)
Dragon Armor 1:72 60265 Tiger I Ausf E early production (from MustangPhil484 @ eBay)
Dragon Armor 1:72 60297 M4A3E8(76)w Sherman "Thunderbolt VIII" (from the Flying Mule!)
Dragon Armor 1:72 60337 SdKfz 251/10 Ausf C (from the Battle Rhino through eBay)
Easy Model EM36301 1:72 North American P-51D Mustang (from lunch_hour @ eBay)
Easy Model EM37210 1:72 Curtiss P-40B/C Warhawk (from lunch_hour @ eBay)
Easy Model EM37224 1:72 Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-3 (from the Flying Mule!)
Easy Model EM37233 1:72 Vought F4U-1D Corsair (from lunch_hour @ eBay)
Easy Model EM37288 1:72 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt (from the Flying Mule!)

I think that's pretty much it for me for a couple of months... or maybe until after my wedding in July. I hope to god none of my favourite online retailers have any more huge sales. The only thing that'd tempt me after getting all of the above would be the second Marder III and Hetzer by 21C.

[Cavtanker]

CM, I believe the 322 M1A2 was part of the OIF collection releases, while the C6 M1A2 was a regular release. I find that 322 is hard to find on-line, but C6 is available in many different places.

[ChairmanMilo]

Here are some pictures of new additions. I have figured out to use the macro flash on my fiancee's new camera, so they're not as washed out as the last pictures I took.
