Best Dragon Ever !

Well, guys, it seems that I've been buying Dragon tanks for a long time. It's only been a few years, but in that time Dragon have released enough standard issues to satisfy most of us.

We know that we get rather strained, from time to time, by the number of camo schemes, variants, ' captured varieties or 'special editions with gun-clamps closed', etc.

But you have to admit that Dragon have produced the most exciting and varied range of pre-built and painted AFVs in 1.72 scale that has ever existed.

The story goes on, and we expect more and more as we plough through the variants of 251s and Shermans, as well as representations of every T34 ever made.

Is it time to start thinking about the best, most popular STANDARD vehicle which Dragon have produced?

Sure, there are the rarer Cyber Hobby productions. Sure, there are Special " Exhibition " models. Sure, there are the rarer, lower numbers, sadly, no longer available. But, from what you've seen, and what you own, which is the best standard Dragon vehicle ever produced?

There is little point in setting up a poll, because there are far too many options to consider, so if you want to nominate a vehicle, just post your choice and say what appeals to you about it.

This is not about accuracy, price, rarity or scarcity. It is about your very own favourite!

Which Dragon is great ( so far in the line! )

The IFOR w/o mine plow. Somewhat of a rarity to find.

Re: Best Dragon Ever !

For the small details, I like the Shermans and Jagdpanzer IVs, but the Challenger and Bradley would get my vote for modern stuff..

Re: Best Dragon Ever !

This is very difficult because Dragon does such a superb job with all their vehicles. I am particulary impressed with the Jagdpanzer IV L/70 and L/48, as well as the Nashorn/Hornisse/Hummel. Certainly the half-tracks are a work to behold. I better stop before I list all the Dragon armor!

Nevermind about the Shermans, I change my vote to the Nashorn/Hornisse/Hummel series.. I forgot about those..

Yea, Hworth 18, but you've gotta pick the best one. And name the version. We're looking across Dragon's Standard production to pick the best they've ever come up with!

cheers,
