Finally it seems that DML have heard us and just answer our prayers

April fool??

Salivating~ My wallet is hurting. April fools?

This is a sick joke Marco......right??? I have been waiting for Dragon to come out with an accurate kit, this is just wrong

well,
actually great news, but the fact I've already invested an insane amount of money and work in making my own resin conversion somehow dampens my enthusiasm...
anyway, I'll get at least 10 of 'em, Oorah!

Cheers Max

It will be great news if it is true. The box art looks realistic, It is suprising that Dragon has not already released this kit because it would be so easy to do...

But this was also posted on April Fools Day. Don't start celebrating yet.

just out of curiosity,
did dragon (or any other manufacturer) ever make an april fool's joke?

cheers

Hello,

99,9% of you were right - it was an April fool, the box art is entirely a fake, too.

(Next time I gonna create something subtler.)

Marco you

What ? ...... Right I'm off to the hardware for some tar , anyone got an old doona ?

Tar 'n featherin is too good for him!

You, sir, are EVIL!!!

DML, are you listening? Your customers REALLY want a USMC M1A1 HA/HC Abrams kit equal to the level of your AIM/SEP kits!

I don't understand why they didn't do a Cyberhobby upgrade for Abrams kits. 1 sprue with the MCD, smoke dischargers and maybe some stowage. Throw in some decals and maybe a new mineplow. That would have sold thousands.

BTW, I think a kidney stone may be in order for the original poster

Marco,
I figured as much... I personally would have used 3537 as the kit number as 3532 was inside of already released Dragon/DML kits...

Actually it would not be too hard for DML to release a USMC Heavy Common/AIM version using the 3535 AIM kit as the basis...
1. Take the Marine sprues from the DML/SD 3531 kit for the wading gear and the SGLs.
2. Take the extended bustle rack and the intercom/slave boxes from the 3536 M1A2 SEP kit.
3. Finally, cut a small mold for the MCD and you have it...

Now to get one of the visionaries at "the Big Lizard" to get off of their rump and do it... Or get a third company to source the required sprues from DML and boxes them up under some obscure label, like Mummey's Models.

See that was easy.

Hi guys,

hate to shatter your dreams, but Dragon is rather releasing the 250st Tiger version, than anything modern. What I heard, anything modern is uncool (didn´t sell?). By the way, Jupiterblitz shouldn`t have a pics from the internet, rather a pic from Mr. Carl Schulze, would have made it more believable.

And how about a TUSK one while there at it?
