Specifically Dragon, but other companies could be added to the thread.
Could someone give me a rundown of what the various lines Dragon has and what they mean? I know of smart kit, premium, orange; there may be more.
Most companies do not bother with such nonsense. Dragon takes it to the extreme. They now have a "Black Label" line as well. Plus a couple others I believe.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Smart kits are detailed kits with more plastic parts in place of PE pieces and less overall pieces in general.
Premium kits are older kits that have been updated with PE, aluminum barrels in some cases and even indy tracks.
Orange Boxes are older kits packaged with a set of figures and generally some upgrades at lower prices.
Zimmerit kits are models with molded on pre-zimmerit.
Imperial kits are ancient molds often purchased from other companies and are generally fiddly to build.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for.
Don't forget their Shanghai Dragon and Cyberhobby lines.
I have the orange box SU-152. For $ 50 it's a great value- has independent link tracks, a nice figure set, a big and detailed decal sheet and barrel/ mantlet / forward hull parts for three versions.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Cyberhobby White Box kits are rare/unique variants of popular subjects are limited edition 1 time production kits making them expensive.
They also have their Super Kits which were released from about 2005 - 2006 that are highly detailed with lots of PE but these intimidated modelers too much and led to the "Smart Kit" line.
Cyberhobby Orange Box Kits are recycled older kits with figures added at a lower price. Basically a "Diorama in a Box"
Within these lines there is the popular '39-45 Series' kits which are subjects specific to WWII.
There's also the Armor Pro series which are 1/72 variants of popular subjects.
They also have a line of pre-finished Armor kits as well.
There's a few aircraft subjects under the 1/48 Master Series.
Theres a Modern Air Power Series which focuses on post WWII aircraft subjects.
And a line of lifelike action figures I think maybe 1/6 scale.
Thats about all I can think of right now. I'm sure there's more though.
