Hi, Due to some personal business, this is the first time I have had a chance to check into Armorama this week. H---, it's the first time I've been on this Infernal Machine since last Friday really! Oh well, nobody said life would be easy I suppose.

Anyway, this past week end I was lucky enough to pick up Dragon's new Pack 40 German AT gun at the local hobby store.

And what a beautiful little kit is is too! Very, very nice. Dragon is to be commended for doing such a fine job. Not only do you get the basic plastic gun kit itself, but also a 4 man crew to go with it, some PE, a turned aluminum barrel and 4 turned rounds of ammunition. Within the kit you get a choice of 3 different muzzle brakes, 3 different types of wheels, plus two sets of 'rubber' tires. One set worn, and one set new. And all I paid was a little under $16. Not bad, not bad at all. And their instructions even look pretty good. Think this will be a nice addition to add to their latest 3-in-1 halftrack kit, or any other of their recently released halftrack kits that they have come out with here in the last few months.

Thanks Dragon for a job well done.

Take care, Sgirty

Sgirty -

Sounds like a great kit, I'll have to look into that very soon. A lot of potential there and no doubt much better than the old Italeri kit I still have. Also sounds like a great candidate for the "Tank Terror" Campaign if you're not already signed up. Looking forward to seeing your work on it.

Hey, Sgirty, thanks for the preview!!! I'm sold already...Tamiya's Pak 40 is going to be the center of my Tank Terror Dio Campaign entry...Would be interesting to see the differences between the two finished kits...The Dragon kit will soon be gracing my bench, sir...

The reviews on PMMS point out that DML got the length of the recoil slide wrong.
But DML says it has corrected this with the 251/22 releases.

I'm excited that they offer so much 'extra' with the kit, but I'd like to be sure that what I got in the box was accurate.

Don't get me wrong, I really like DML and am happy they are willing to go back the re-tool older and inaccurate kits, but I also wish my early release 251 3 in 1 kit had the newer "corrected " sprocket and roadwheels too...

Keep them coming DML, but take your time and get it right the first time. I'll wait , not patiently, but I'll wait.
