Quoted Text

Yesterday, I saw Yamada san and the editor of Model Art in hobby shop. He told me remember to buy the coming release of Model Art, they will announce a Dragon secret item. Yamada san looked at me happily.

What Sakuragi san told me seems comes true! American Half Track!

HAPPY!

Looks like an interesting development.

Have a good one

Jim

Is this going to turn into a case of no smoke without fire, or just a complete wash out? What is your feeling

My feeling is that IF it is going to announced, it'll be either at the Shanghai Show (next month), less likely (but still possible) at EuroMilitaire OR in february at Nuremberg... Are they doing it thru a Japanese Armor Magazine? Highly unlikely IMO...

My feeling - when I see it OFFICIALLY announced by DML, i'll believe it.

Do I think it's likely? I'd give a 6 to 1 AGAINST. Hopefully i'll be proved wrong...

Until it's more than a couple of supposed insiders talking about surprise releases at a hobbyshop, I'll wait to hear it from the Dragon's breath!!

Also I won't be holding my breath until it hits the shelves. It wouldn't be the first time that some company said we're releaseing something by this date and it never shows up. Even if test sprues show up on the web you never know when it's coming out, although at least you know they're working on it.
