Has anyone noticed that the instructions in the 1/72 Dragon m2a3 Bradley kit has a misprint in it. It refers to the upper turret as h5, when it is actually a3. At one part it calls it a3 but only then. It seems as though the instructions are printed wrong, or am i just reading them wrong. I was able to figure it out, its just a bummer to find a mistake in such an awesome kit.

I'm not sure whether I have that kit in my stash or not (I'll take a look later), but it certainly isn't the only Dragon 1/72nd scale kit with errors in the instructions!

You are absolutely correct. I just looked at the instructions before I replied and the upper turret is referenced as H5 no less than four times. I am currently building it after an absence from the hobby of nine years. I was extremely impressed with the quality and detail of the kit but found the instructions confusing in several areas. There are even areas where the arrows for placement of parts are unclear. I found myself searching the 'Net for pictures of the actual vehicle or others builds of similar models to clarify certain placements.

Cheers,
Jan
