Hi All,
I recently heard after aquery at the LHS that DML Dragon had taken kit numbers 3521 ZSU23-4 Shilka and 3523 M270 MLRS out of production. I know someone here on Armorama said in a thread that Italeri were releasing a Shilka kit but have heard nothing else about it.
If Dragon have OOP'd them I'll cancel my order.
TIA
Tom

Don't know anything about a Italeri ZSU-23-4. If it is true, it is probably a rebox of the Dragon kit. Italeri has reboxed and marketed in Europe many Dragon kits.

Also, Dragon makes limited runs of their kits for a while, then stops making them. They will then make more of the kits again when the previous lot has sold. Their production runs are kind of cyclical. They may be OOP for now, but will come back after a few months.

Cheers Gino, don't you ever sleep? No matter when I post here you always seem to come up - not that I'm coplaining mind :-)

I'll get all the sleep I need when I am dead.

Pulling a late nighter, can't sleep right now. It is just midnight here in CA now too. Getting ready to hit the rack soon.

Revell also issued a version of the Dragon MLRS as the German MARS, if it was like the other Bundeswehr stuff that Revell borrowed from other makers (like the M88) then it will probably have a few modifications.

Shilka's are also all over eBay, and some are fairly cheap too.

It is a good, solid kit, get one if you can.

I wonder if Dragon are going to update the kits?

Man, we are all hopping, praying, and wisihing DML woudl update all their older Modern kits.
