looks like some very nice, sharp details. I also like the texture on the turret. I think 1/72 has improved a lot in the last years. I believe the numbers on the sprue( ''locating'' parts

) have sharper detail than some of the old 1/72 kits :-) :-) :-) :-) hey, only the real old ones

My interest is peaked, now we need some good Gen 2 figures to go with it. I will need to get some magnifing glasses though to put it together. The old MK 1 eyeballs are not what they used to be.

Gen 2 figures in 1/72 scale would be nice but, I'm not holding my breath as Dragon seems to ignore us braille scalers when it comes to figures

Arrghhh! And I thought it was the 35th! :-) :-) :-)
Just looking at the details, this could be easily mistaken as a 1/35 when taken digitally. Fantastic!

Wow, has it ever come a long way from when I did 72/76 scale armour. Beautifully done. If the eyes were not so bad or the fingers so big....

Oh well it means Higher magnification on the specs and more tweezers but I'm willing to give it a go. Just finished the Leopard2A6 and got the M4A1. The nice thing is you can get 3 or 4 kits for the price of 1.

It would be nice if DML scaled there figures down to 1/72 scale for us small scale modellers, but it guess this will never happen. Although the figures in the LCM 3 look nice they are in that horrible vinyl!
I love half-tracks and Tiger tanks. And Lancaster bombers. I model to please myself not others. I may not be the best of modellers, but I'm happy with what I end up with.
