Dragon (DML)

[Jeffry Fontaine]

Perth Military Modelling have suspended all news and reviews of DML products following repeated attacks on the website owner.  DML are well known for the way they slander anyone who dares to criticise their products, so good for Terry for making a stand.

Discussion here

Just read that same thing over on Missing-Lynx discussion forums and from what I have read in previous discussions this has been a continuing problem for Terry and a couple of others. Sad to see DML/Dragon acting in such a manner.

just got a new trade list at work and i only had a glance before i came home but did see a new 1/700 USS Hornet with photo etched and Hanger deck detail.

there are others and i will let you know what they are as soon as i can, all for early 2010 release.

Mmmm, Sea Vixen & a wartime Meteor, very weclome.  Probably be pricey though, here's hoping Airfix re-work their 1/48 Sea Vixen kit into 1/72 & I guess they'll be replacing their Meteor kit if the current spate continues.

[pyro-manic]

Being Dragon, I expect it all to be extremely expensive. I too would hope for a scaled down Vixen from Airfix over the Dragon offering.

The 1/32 Do 335 Pfeil could proove interesting if one wanted to go the super detailing route.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!  Looks like I won't be buying the JAG Virginia now, nor truly screwing up my Long Beach!!!!!

[ChernayaAkula]

And with Dragon's Long Beach, Wyrmshadow's awesome Tico-Long Beach mash-up  (CLICKY!) can now be realized without wrecking your bank account.

And with Dragon's Long Beach...

Also a lot easier to build the Strike Cruiser refit in plastic (as opposed to screwing up my beautiful JAG resin model )

[Thorvic]

Yeap in theory we'll have CGN hulls in plastic to play with, however their price is likely to be only half that of the Resin version (if that) given Dragons pricing policy these days  .

Still its easier to work with and mix with existing kit parts where required. (And guess who needs at least a dozen Type 45's - DOH !!!)

[pyro-manic]

Wait for the Airfix one. They'd be daft not to.

[thedarkmaster]

Various Modelzones have 1/72 armour at £3.99, shops differ on what they have.

[nev]

In amongst the usual snoozefest of annual new-tool Tigers & Panthers, DML have announced a 1/4 Jeep!

Gives a new meaning to quarter scale!  Fit it with pedals & buy it for the kids!
