Part 3 of my article in now online. It deals with the main turret parts and gun.

Here is the link to Features section of my web site, where the article is: http://vodnik.net/index_feat.htm.

Hi Vodnik,

again, great job you did!

Just as a little info, one picture is missing- the one that shows the business end of the coaxial machine gun. Text is there, but picture missing.

Wish I had read your article before I chose my kit, I don't think I would have gotten the DML/Dragon version. Like the mine plow attachment though, and it was easy to put on. Hope you plan a segment featuring mine plow and roller add ons.

How was your DML kit? Could you confirm problems I mentioned in the article? I'm not sure if I'm fair calling the kit I use for the article "the Dragon kit", while it is actually Revel kit. There is a chance that mold quality of Revell boxing was worse than in original Dragon kit. I built Dragon kit many years ago, but don't remember how it went together - this means however that it was probably better than the kit I have now, otherwise I would have remembered.

I plan to mention all "extras" included in each of the kit in the last part of the article. In case of Revell/Dragon kit I will write about mine plow and for Trumpeter I will describe roller in a few words. But don't expect a very detailed description.

Regards,
Pawel

Bought the new Dragon M1A1HA "Iraqi Freedom" and that had VERY much flash, so it couldn't be any better than Revell's...
