Hi everyone, i´ve just ordered these two kits from Dragon (6098 GERMAN FELDGENDARMERIE w/DOGS, 6131 GERMAN ARMORED RECONNAISSANCE "WIKING DIV." HUNGARY 1945) does anyone know if the heads are allright? i mean, is it Gen 2 or is it the old ones? do i need to buy replacements from Hornet?

regards Thomas

6098 is definitely a 'normal' DML release, and quite an old one I think.
I couldn't find 6131 - is that the right code? I found 6194 Panzergrenadiers Wiking Division which is also an older release.

When trying to differentiate between 'normal' DML kits and Gen2 kits... rule of thumb is that the Gen2 kits are about twice the price of a normal DML figure kit.

well i think 6131 is the right number. The box art shows 4 figures, 2 of them standing in an sdkfz 250, and the other 2 are standing next o the veichle, i think i have seen one of the figures before in another kit.
thanks by the way Rudi.

ah, apologies Thomas. My proxy at work blocks DML's site, so I used a retailer to search for the code - I guess they don't stock that particular kit...

Anyways... back on track then... based on the pic that you supplied, I'd say that's definitely an older, 'normal' DML kit.

ok, that´s settles it, i´m going to buy heads from Hornet or warrior, thanks for the help

Hi Thomas,

The Armoured Recon kit is definatly the old style, not GEN2

Still pretty nice figures for what you pay for them. Dress them up with new heads, some of the left over Gen 2 weapons and away you go.
