Actually the M4A1 served from North Africa to the Heart of Germany. The M4A2 just sqeeks by with a longer record as we gave those to the Brits first in North Africa.

Just got a box full of 1/72 diecast tank goodies from House of Hobbies as discussed on the previous page. Not much more to say than they're an A+ trader in my book. Will be sending much more business their way in the future.

I got a couple tanks and a plane from them too.

They are an A #1 dealer......not the biggest selection, BUT, great prices, great service.........I'll do a lot more business with them.

I wasn't planning on getting that many Shermans until I started to see them in person . I bought one, then another and decided that would be it until I saw 'Battling Bitch' . Dragon has captured the look almost perfectly and even though it's not, it looks like metal straight from the foundry - excellent texture .

This is virtually an identical replica to a M4A1 Sherman that I played on as a kid and it is definitely worth adding to any collection of 1/72 armour (as with other pieces of Dragon Armor the pictures do not do it justice) .

(I know that the Dragon Armor range apparently does not hold its value and to be quite honest I really don't give a d*mn as their products have authenticity and detail that are a cut above many of their competitors - I'm also learning to come to accept their lack of metal although that is for me the only downside to the range.)

Like I said some time ago; Dragon Armor is like eating potato chips........try buying JUST one

WARNING:
Do not eat any Dragon armor. There are no edible parts. Dragon armor is intended to be displayed on a shelf. You can also display potato chips on a shelf. You can eat potato chips. You can also collect potato chips. Potato chips have a lack of metal content also. If you wish to display your Dragon armor with your potato chips that's just fine and dandy with me.

Has anyone removed a Tiger I turret & found a metal cylinder sitting on a shaft w/in the chassiss? For some reason, said cylinder was painted the same color as the tank.

I think that cylinder is the "metal" for diecast.

What a comedy.
