I am missing the older SMART KIT policy of Dragon. Individual track, many etching parts, reasonable kit price and so on. We are still hungry!!!

As much as I like this variant of Panther, Dragon's logic of simplifications = higher value they've been applying to nearly every release of the last few month means I'll have skip this.

YES, WE ARE!!! How long is DRAGON going to keep trying to insult our intelligence with their "Robber Baron" marketing strategies?

I'll take "SMART KITS" over DRAGON's "NEW!!!" old, re-hashed kits with less parts for more money any time!!!

They've been doing this for the last several years- I've been skipping them, too...

They have, but it's only recently that they've started to get kit breakingly bad such as the opaque periscopes and no brass grills for over £50 we have in this release.

P.S Try to keep all you want to say at once in a single post. It looks a lot more professional.
