Yep... Trympeter announces it... Dragon releases (or re-releases) it

It's almost like they're letting Trumpeter dictate what they release or re-release.

Ancient set... I have it from the old days when it was initially released. Unfortunately it's of little use for today's Iraq/Afghanistan, as current weapon versions and attachments are not included.

Well unless you want some older weapons then save yourself for the Trumpeter set. If the weapons included in the PMC figures is anything to go by then Trumpeters weapons are light years ahead of these and really stunning!

hI;

thaīt are good news. I have two of these old set and they are very good. On ebay they pay horrible prices for this. For scenario past 90īs itīs not usefull. Itīs ideal for Vietnam , Panama, Somalia and the first gulf war. They have very fine details and the best and only "modern american weapons" for many years till yet. The american and NVA weapons setīs from Tank are in my opinon 1:1 resin copyīs of them. I You get four sprues of nearly all kind of US weapons used in the past Wars. Two sprues are identical. Also seperate magazines (+ 100 round box) and hands. I can only highly recommend them. I am still waiting for the new setīs from Trumpeter. You get older style and modern style ones. Only setīs with Car-15 for example. So lets wait what we get from these guys. If you need American weapons than get these great set from Dragon.

Regards

Stefan

Set is a waste of money unless you are doing old stuff. Not applicable for anything post 2000 hardly at all.

Definatetly not modern. I cant wait for trumpeters weapons sets.

Why cant Dragon update the older weapon sets? It would be worth it! I'd buy at least 4!
