I just won an auction for a dragon kit last night. I finally decided that it was time to get a kit. Now I am just dissapointed. Last night was family night so I put a proxy bid in and turned phone and tablet off till this morn. If I had got on I would have seen this and not bid. Oh Well

THIS is fantastic news! I have the DRAGON kit.. it's the "B" version, so lets see how Trumpeter takes a swing at it!

Hopefully someone will show us inside the kit soon before we buy it but I am on-board on this!

Imagine both side-by-side!

A few months ago, they were announcing the SS-23, which disappeared from the radar screens. I will get excited when I see Trumpeter's Scud available, ``buyable`` and ready to ship...

The SS-23 didn't disappear.. it's just a matter of when it will be released.. not "if"

I also have the Dragon Scud B, which had some pretty significant fit issues from my recollection. This looks enticing.

Well, the SRP is $170.. I guess it's to be expected what with the size and amount of detail... It'll be interesting to see the price for MENG's kit!
