I just got back from my hobby shop and great news! The DML Leopold is due in tomorrow! the Trumpeter Leo should be in one month later. I think I will do both. One in the early paint scheme and one late. I will let everyone know what is in the box as soon as I get it. Now where to display them Hmmmmmmm.

Hi. Looking forward to hearing what you think of them both! How good are you at building additions on to your place of residence? Ha!

Good luck and take care, sgirty

I GOT MINE!!!!!!!!!!

hey tankcarl...... what measurements are on the box for the finished article? I need to know before I rebuild this knocked down wall #:-)
Looks awesome ..... can´t wait to get my hands on it!

seriously,about 950 mm = 37.5 "
It has 7 of the DML track sections included.This will take up one of my longer shelves in my modeling room.
Can't wait.

What are your impressions of the kit? worth the $80 to 100?


Peter

Yes,I believe it is worth the money.
I assume Trumpeteer will increase the number of parts by making some complex parts in this Dragon release become multi part units.
I dare anyone to do a side by side build.
Though ,in Rivet review,I am uploading pictures at the first post,of my progress on my Leopold.

Hi Side-to-side build. Man, that would be almost too much to ask for!!!!!!
Take care, sgirty

LOL Carl I intend to do just that. I hope to build both. One early paint (Grey) one late Panzer yellow and dark red. This box is huge! I need to clear the decks first to have room to build it. Unfortunately I will be moving soon so I guess it is better to wait. I will start fresh in my new home with no clutter on the workspace. lol.

Another quickie question,
Does the DML Leopold come with photo-etch? and what is the photo-etch for?


(starting to think about buying one )
thanks,

Peter

sphyrna Yes the DML Leopold has some photoech not to much. some tread plate and 2 hatch covers oh yeah engine screens three of them. And some metal chain. This is going to be a huge huge finished piece. I hope the sell the figures as a seprate kit in the future.It would be nice to have 12 figures on this monster.

holly crap....... is that 1/35 scale,
and how much is it,
i migth wanna build one. when i get sick of planes
i will get back to tanks
