Come now Gino, you should know by now that that's just how he types... Ours not to reason why. Ours but to do and build.

I picture him shouting at the monitor while he types




I don't shout- I was born without vocal chords!

No inside info and I don't see how I am supposedly flaming anything. You're the one who posted a complaint with no idea of what is going on either. What is the point of your original post but to complain. I'm just sick of people complaining all the time about every new kit or the smallest change by a model company.

I'm glad you are happy to convert the kit you want. In the end it will probably be better than the Dragon kit anyways. Enjoy the build.


While I respect your opinions Gino, I beg to differ in that DRAGON's wholesale discontinuation of "Magic Tracks", extra parts for different versions in certain kits, comprehensive PE sets, metal barrels, and the substitution of opaque parts in lieu of clear parts, not to mention the downward-sliding quality, are NOT "small changes". I believe that quite a few of us on this site are dissatisfied with DRAGON precisely because of the "streamlining" that I mentioned above. Their higher pricing for all this joy adds insult to injury, so to speak...

I was only talking about the one month change in release date on their M60 kit as a small change since that is what the original poster was all upset about. I agree that they have "downsized" what you get with their kits significantly. If you or anyone else feels you are not getting your money for what Dragon is providing, there are many other kit makers to choose from. I suggest you vote with your wallet.
