This is the expected M103A2 kit and, if the kit matches the CAD images, then, no, they have NOT _fixed_ the turret. They have modified it to have the A2 features, such as the searchlight and the receptacle for the searchlight cable on the turret roof plus several other small changes. But that seems to be it for the turret.

In addition, of course they made the necessary changes to make the A2 such as the engine deck fenders, air cleaners, stowage boxes, etc. etc. etc. But it doesn't look like the hull nose has been corrected either. With the new rear engine louvers, the kinked back plate disappears, so that's one fix, but the fact that their advertising calls the air cleaner box a muffler makes me think they still haven't done any additional research.

I hope you guys will grant a general amnesty to anyone who may to want buy it and build it. Hey they may even want to post it here without being ignored or made to feel foolish for daring to build such steaming pile of poo that the model might be. If I sound angry you're right and no I don't work for Dragon.

The parts are already there in the A1 kit to do an A2.

So why is Dragon wasting money on a redo?

One big question--with this kit have the mantlet cover that was conspicuously missing from the A1 kit? Or will this be an addition similar to what they did between the two M48 kits?

Actually, I don't think they are. I suspect the tool for the M48 engine deck is simplt being used in the M103 sprue.
