Gents. Just received some chatter coming from the frontlines. Dragon has announced some new future releases in 1/35th:

DML 6322 US M26 Pershing "Premium Edition"
DML 6332 US M3/M3A1 Halftrack "Smart Kit"
DML 6370 Panther Ausf G w/Steel Wheels "Smart Kit"
DML 6381 US M16 Multiple Gun Carriage "Smart Kit"
DML 6??? Russian SU-100 "Premium Edition"

Can this all be confirmed ? Vinnie ? Jim ?

I will wait until they put out that bridgelayer. Bet that will be expensive.

Announced at Tokyo Toy Show 2006
US Half Track series (more info to follow)
M3A1 Personnel Carrier
M3A2 Personnel Carrier
M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage
M21 81mm Mortar Carrier
M3 75mm GMC




A nice little M3 battle in the making where we win. Any estimated release date(s)?
I have a special project planned for the M3 75mm GMC when it becomes available. Couldn't locate the parts for a conversion so I hope it's a nice one.

Ah yes a couple of them had already been mentioned here...ie: Stryker.

Im certainly not the biggest fan of german armour but im definitely going for the Bruekenleger IV B (Panzer IV Ausf.B Bridgelayer) when it comes out. Brings back fond memories of my combar engineering days!

Wonderland models tells me that the Dragon 1C Firefly 6228 should be out this month as well.

Looks like the halftrack section of the display shelves needs to be enlarged...

Saw all of that on "Perth", gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. The pics of Trumpeter's M16 in 1/16th were excellent, if they do the same craftmanship in 1/35th scale, look out Tamiya. Hopefully Dragon will expand beyond the M3/M3A1 smart kit we are waiting on, like maybe the M4/M4A1, T19(105mm HMC), T30(75mm HMC), M15/M15A1, M13, M9/M9A1, M5/M5A1, and T48(57mm GMC).
Before Dragon announced their M16, had they given it some thought, it could have been a 2 in 1(M13/M16), with the proper side and rear panels. Well i waited over 30 years for the M2, we'll see what happens

My wallet just ran off & hid! Check out the Trumpeter artillery guys, the SFH18 & the 10cm Kanone as well! I might also be tempted by the M3 from one or the other. Looks like the "Uhu" & the M3 series are the latest battleground amongst manufacturers - will this affect prices? LOL.

Check this out - confirmed, not speculative:




Jim,

I can assure you there is nothing speculative about information posted on PMMS as I don't go in for rumours contrary to what some might want to portray.

Cheers

Terry, PMMS, is almost the only site out there who don't post rumors - I was referring more to individuals posting 'wish-lists' as facts. Sorry for the confusion..

Nope, it won't be out for a couple of months at least.

WW2 and it will be in early configuration (so it's actually T26E3 rather than M26). I can't say much about this release yet, but it looks now like it is going to be VERY PREMIUM Edition kit
