Dragon Metal Content - Planes vs Tanks

Copland · 05-20-2007, 05:24 AM

It is interesting to note that Dragon's 1/72 planes are very high in metal content, while the tanks are almost plastic. I have looked at Dragon's plane prices and they are generally from $19.99 - $25.00. Here is my question: If Dragon can produce a 1/72 plane high in metal content, and sell it for ca. $22.00. Why can't Dragon produce their tanks in the same manner, and sell them for a similar price? Why can't they simply go back to the metal content of their first Tiger I? Is it a detail problem? A production problem? Why aren't the planes mainly plastic? Interesting.

Could it be that it is easier and cheaper to get the shapes and details on the tanks in plastic rather than metal?
