I know a lot of you out there already have the Dragon 3-n-1 Late Tiger in hand, but I held off on gettin gone. I finally broke down a bought one yesterday at the LHS. Boy was the wait ever worth it. I thought my early version had a lot of stuff in the box. I was floored when I opened it up. Mr. Tamiya has a long way to go to get my business back......for armor anyways. The amount of PE in this kit was worth buying it, not to mention all the other goodies that came with it. Anyway, just wanted to share my pleasure with you all. Thanks. "Q"

You will have to post a picture when you are done. I personally like Tamiya; however, I am interested in seeing the craftmanship involved with the kit.

Are you close to Loveland, Co?

tell me about it, "DML TIGER LATE" and "WAIT" don't just rhyme, they seem to follow hand in hand.

I've been waiting 3 weeks now for my tiger late from hong kong, but luckymodel emailed me on saturday to let me know it's on it's way


Just need to get anticsonline.co.uk to deliver the few last figures I'm waiting for....exactly 6 weeks to the day

What is the hold-up with the figures? Six weeks seems a heck of a long time....

Hi Matt, got moved in yet? Are you going up to regionals? We've been talking about it the last couple of Legacy meetings, which you've missed.

That Tiger does sound pretty great. Wonder how long until your friend gets some for the 8th st Hobby Lobby?

you tell me !!

they have sent me half my order, but I am still waiting on Tamiya MG troops, Frontline Infantrymen and a new tube of poly with the needle applicator.

It's hardly $$$$ worth of kit, but they took 26.00 out of my bank and so far I've only had about 8.00 worth of kit.

Hi Rodger, we are in a rental for the time being. New house should be ready first week or two of December. I checked the HL on Palmer Park yesterday and not a Dragon kit to be found. Can only hope Gary is a little more proactive with ordering than that store. Haven't made many meetings due to playing baseball. Season is almost over (Weds night championship game) so I should be making more soon. Definatley planning on going to the regional. You? See you soon.
