New release from Dragon/DML - A sign of desperation?
Posted by bultenibo on Saturday, March 3, 2012 5:59 AM

The latest news from Dragon is that they have run out of Sherman versions to release, so they are breking some new ground with this new line of kits. Big Smile

 Yet another "scrumptious" kit from Dragon.

I read that it will include 3 sets of photo etch horse shoes and a feed bag.

 Also included will be a figure of lady Godiva with long and strategically placed "big hair" and a peeping Tom action figure.

 You can view a built up version HERE.

 At first I thought this was an April fools trick but after looking at the calendar, I was comforted to know that it is still March.

Sherman-Jumbo-1945

Could be!  Did you see the recent release from Dragon?  Another Panzer I Ausf A!  There are already plenty of great kits out there so who would buy this kit.  Tristar kits are AWESOME!  Beating a dead horse you can say...

Come on, Dragon!  Look at American armor... Lee, Grant, and plenty of odd Sherman variants!

That is one thing in favor of modeling the Sherman tank.

There were so many varieties and task specific versions.

That's  a pretty daring build! I'll probably settle for the purple version with the extra Scürtzen that comes with the PE-set from Voyager.  Wink

I've already got two kits ordered for Jenn. Will be building one in "three-color camo", with MIG weathering and scrap PE accessories. The other kit will be finished in base coats, with stowage.

Expect full WIP's. Stick out tongue

If Dragon ever comes out with an G4 MLP FiM pony set, I'd buy 2 in a hoofbeat.

I'm thinking a nice NMF would really show off the lines, with anti-glare panel on the nose & a red tail...

Now your just being silly. Smile

Clearly the flying horse version belongs in aircraft. And there would have to be an NF version with antenna and upward firing cannon.

Bish, I respectfully disagree.  How can you explain if you have a picture proof of this tiny pony captured just outside Berlin in April 1945?

Maybe it was applied on the field?
