Hiya guys,

(yes I know its Dragon not Draon!)

just got this and was wondering any tips and pointers? I`ve got a few 1/35 models to practice on prior to tackling this one(mainly easier Tamiya), but anything is appreciated and what to look for etc as I want to do this justice..

Nice kit,this one is pretty straightforward,no real fit issues or construction problems.The DS tracks simplify things over magic tracks.I did mine with a two tone yellow with green camo.Check it out in my gallery.

Have fun,it's a great kit

Hi Andy .. This is a really nice kit . The only thing you really have to watch out for is the 654th made a few modifications to the tool stowage ,so you might want to check your references before you add the decals.

Andy, since you're coming from a Tamyia kit, a few tips, check the instructions very carefully, dryfit everything twice. Be patient.
