And boy howdy is it nice!. Basically the same as the other new Dragon 251's coming down the pipe in regards to the extra goodies that come with it. They even included a turned aluminum barrel and some brass projo's. SInce I'm in the middle of finishing up two small aircraft this bad boy is going to have to wait a little before getting started. Anybody else pick up one of these yet? If so, have you started it and how is it going together? "Q"

Mathew, Just finishing up my 22. I've the inside painted and I'm giving the outside a bascoat today. The only thing to look out for is the same with all the Dragon 251 kits. Make sure the floor is central when you cement it to the chassis, and that you postively locate the hull sides IN the gap between the floor and chassis.

There is a minor fit issure with the bolted side flanges and the interior parts.
Check out the PMMS review and the link to the construction feature at the bottom. Eventually they will have a comparison between the AFV and the DML vers. But it looks like the DML vers has the armor cutouts set up too high, and the AFV club ones look right.

I bought the 251 ausf C 3 in 1 yesterday.
Wow what alot of parts crammed into that box!!
I spent last night studying the instructions to get it all straight.
I have no idea though which version I want to build.
