Tank news in new FSM!
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, April 3, 2004 10:35 PM
1) The mag pours glory all over the new T34/76 (1940) from Dragon. The only negative is that it doesn't have an interior -- they had to really get picky to find something for the "cons" line! In fact, they say that, except for the link treads, this is an ideal beginner's kit.

2) Henschel turm Dragon Tiger II coming, says Dragon's inside front cover ad .... Archive photo shown rather than box artwork, but still, it's announced.

3) Challenger II mania! I noticed that Dragon has a Challenger II for TELIC coming in 1/72nd. This may be old news to you guys, but it is new news to me. This will make THREE C2's for TELIC -- two in 35th and this one for the Braille scale guys -- looks like a nice "little" kit (this monstrous tank will dwarf most 1/72nd scale tanks, a' course).

4) This isn't kit news, but the small details on that 1/16th scale LAV on the cover are beyond description. Worth the cost of the mag all by itself.

5) Not armour, but there's a review of the new Revell 1/72nd U-Boat as well.

Dragon's "Henschel turret" Tiger II was on the shelves here a couple of weeks ago.
Should be available worldwide.
I'm waiting for the "Final Version!"

Say, any word on how the kit stacks up against the Tamiya KT?

That LAV-25 on the cover is unbelievable! Absolutely fantastic. The only thing I want to know is what beat it out for Best of Show at the IPMS Nationals? Bow [bow]Bow [bow]Bow [bow]

Sign - Ditto [#ditto] on the LAV. It's phenomenal. The interior details are UNBELIEVABLE.

They are really giving the Dragon kit a good start. I might pick it up, dunno yet. Unfortunately for me, there doesn't seem to be too much comming out this year in 1/35 that I'm actually interested in. Not that there's that much actually comming out.
