There's a thread going on the Dragon Ka Tsu already, I've posted below. Bottom line-- the box is big, but the kit only takes up half the box, and sadly, there are lots of issues with the kit-- which is becoming an increasing problem with these newer Dragon kits. Farther down the thread, Graham Tetley says he's writing a review of the kit for Military Model International, and he states based on the poor execution of the kit and the hefty price tag, it's "better left on the shelf".

I too thought it looked interesting, but have changed my opinion about buying it after the reading the issues. The DS track sections obviously from another kit, and the lack of detail in certain areas is really inexcusable. Another "Black Label" style kit I guess.

Thanks for the link !Ill check it out !1

Dragon must have figured out that the 'Black Label' is more or less a kiss of death so now they don't mark it as Black Label, instead they call it Smart Kit.
The half full is an exaggeration, the parts cover half the surface of the bottom tray but not the full height so I would put it at 35% to 40%.
The tracks are from their Ka-Mi kit and the instructions tell you to use almost two lengths per side, 20 links are to be deleted (cut off) so the ends will have to be joined end to end which feels like a rather poor solution.

Dragon/Cyber-Hobby did have a MagicTrack set

I do not know if it is still available, Spade-Ace also have/had sets for the Ka-Mi.
Cyber-Hobby.com claims to have the 3888 set in stock ...
