Found this on the Dragon Website, listed in the "Dragon Models" line...so this would be in kit form, but could it mean a built up version could be on the way? Here's the link too....http://www.dragonmodelsusa.com/dmlus...sp?pid=DRA5030

Now that's what I'm talking about, three piece Dragin landing gear assembly, oh man!

Really though, if these are made and they are like the T-bolt QC, then I'm in and Corgi is screwed. Can you imagine a P-38 that puts the pooch to shame the way the P-51 does. How sweet that would be.

Someone once told that these are not diecast but a plastic model kit.
That item number DRA 5030 looks to be a plastic kit.
Who know's what Dragon's thinking i'm still waiting for that Mustang

Many times Dragons kits are an indication of what is coming in diecast..

I won't be holding my breath though, because if Dragon does eventually make these in diecast, they'll make 50 gillion versions of them and they'll be worthless..

Just don't mess around with separate flaps....simple is better!

Hworth,
Hey there.

Should Dragon make a P-38 it may not retain much resell value, but it will probably be better than what Corgi is doing with the P-38. Plus, it'l have an opening cockpit and sharper details. I'll gladly take that trade.

I bet Hobbymaster could do a fine P-38, but my main complaint with Dragon is buying a plane for $25 and if I get tired of it or decide I don't want it, I can't sell it for $10.00.. I like to think that I am just not flushing my money down the toilet and that I can atleast sell the piece for retail value..
That lack of residual value, no pilot and "fiddly bits" just isn't my preference..

Interesting that they would start off with a droop snoot.....

Hey Harry, I'd probably take your Dragon cast-offs for $10, not sure I ever saw 'em that low in your "garage sales"

I hear you though, I'm trying to only collect at least the CH editions. Though recently their more interesting models are the regular releases -- Dallas Blonde and Rudel Stuka, go figure!
