Gawd! This looks amazing! A one -stop solution for a very ionvolved build that will look great when complete. What's it going to do to the out of the box catagory at the Nationals? :-)
Don't forget as well, there is one of these up for grabs in the Dragon MoM this month! Look out for the review coming soon!

Wow, this is great. Everytime I come on Armorama there is something new from Dragon, or at least something in 1/35th armor

Dragon has continued to range in on its target audience. You can beat this deal. They took and already super Porsche Tiger II kit, and have taken it to a whole new level.

Like Vinnie pointed out, its a 1-step solution for the armor modeller. Barrel, PE, alot of improved parts, and all-round better product.

Dragon has really outdone themselves on their marketing and the way they present their products months before they hit the stores. Its good to go !

Thanks for posting, Jim. I know have pre-orders in for this kit. One will find its way into my stash ASAP

Cheers !!

Looks great, only thing missing is the zimmerit, but thats only fair, since a lot prefers to go the putty-way.

Hopefully, this, and similar releases, will eliminate the outdated concept of OOB. I attend many contests each year, and it's a rare case when the OOB winner is not also a place winner.
