This would be nice to have a lot better then fiddling around with Verlinden's Resin one.

Not much to do really I wonder if Dragon will do a Mine roller for the Sherman?

Any hints?

Darn it!

Just when someone promised me some instructions for my verlinden kit...
(which will still be cheaper for me than a new kit, & I won't be fussed about improving my technique with old resin!)

Hint: Buy Resin kit....

Stash for a year or two while you collect refs, decals, accessories, & wait for donor kit to show up on €b@y or go back into production...

Start kitbash... then read of it's imminent release....

Post pics & links please?
otherwise it's just a rumour...

Jon & Mike: Verlinden's set omits the mud scraping teeth between the rings. When you build yours, make sure to add them

I think Jeff is asking the question, wether we will see a kit, not suggesting an imminent release. Right?

It sure would be nice. And while they're at it how about a flail (Crab) tank?

Cheers

Bingo I have the Verlinden kit already.

And if Mike does not come thru which I doubt I can scan and send.

That Crab flail kit would be great indeed.

I cannot see why they can they cannot do both as not that much to add to the kit.

A couple of sprue's and the Mine roller is done.

The frail would take a little more to get out but not much

The folks that do 1/48 scale did it .

GasoLine

So where is Dragon on a good different kit?

Well maybe because not German.

Heck we have just about every German tank ever made.

I think time for Dragon to go one more step and beat them all down.

The Verlinden kit while good is a bear to do as to weight and well the parts require a bunch to get right.

Thanks for the reminder Roy.

I've seen a french web page describing such improvements, but the link was on a pc that died.... C'est la Vie...

Mike, PM sent.

Sooo... three of have/have built the Verlinden, should we GB? or just share info?
I'm down for an Engineering GB in April, so after that?

I've got the Resicast Flail as well, but not nearly confident enough for that yet...
