Hi Guys,

Just browsing in Netrmerchants and I noticed that the 1/35 Firefly VC kit No 6323 is out.

Hadn'r noticed anything about it's release, although I knew it was on the way. Anyone got one yet, and any feeback on the kit?

Cheers

Al

I assume (by the 4-digit re. code) that this is DML. It's not new, it might have had the moulds cleaned up a bit, but it's NOT a new release for a simple reason - DML are NOT planning on reworking the Vc with the release of the Tasca one. Tasca (to DML) are a FRIENDLY company and there is some agreement not to step on each others toes....

Hi Jim,

Correct it's the Dragon one. Didn't think it was a new one, and the Tasca kit looks great, so if I can think of a reason I'll probably go for that one. Shopping list just keeps getting longer :-) :-) :-)

Cheers

Hi Alan,

It seems to be the Euromilitaire special editition issue. As I have not seen any special info about it I assume, that there are only some special decals and maybe some corrected and added photoetch parts to the old Vc kit, plus the special box cover with Douglas Kay.
