Hi, Just wondering. Now that Dragon has made the 'Karl' mortars and is evidently going to bring out the K 5 E railway gun in the very near future, do you think we could convince them somehow to finish what they've started by bringing out the 80cm Dora? Now that would definitely be the 'ultimate' plastic model kit I would have to think! Am really kind of serious here, as I would defintley buy one, even if I had to build a special wooden cuiro cabinet to put the darn thing in. Which I may have to do what with the Karl now and the K 5 E coming down the road.
Take care, sgirty

That would be extremely cool. Building the 100 plus man crew would take years...
Can you say "second mortage?"

How about them doing something really cool, like in say, OD green like the M-6 Heavy Tank, or the T29 w/ a 105mm gun or the T30 w/ a 155mm gun? Hmmm...

I really would Like to see Dragon make some U.S. Halftracks with all their variants like they did with the 250 halftrack series........that would be something to see................

With the halftrack group build coming soon, why didn't I think of that?! Great gripe!

I thought I read somewhere that Italeria was coming out with US Halftracks. Anyone else hear that?

How about getting Dragon AND Tamiya to retool there older kits to modern standards...Like the BMP series, the M2 Bradley series, the T-72 and T-80 series, and BTR-70/80 series. That would be a BIG bonus for me.
and then...THE SOVIET 2S7. I know Panzershop has one inthe chute, but I want one in plastic...
