While I've always thought the T-28/T-95 was a bit impractical, I still think it's a cool looking vehicle. I'll definitely have to add this kit to my "want to build" list.

Hopefully, this bodes well for other US prototype armor like the T-23 and T-25 mediums, T-14 assault tank and the Pershing-based heavies such as the T-29 et al.
Some clever and amusing quote goes here.

 I'm just hoping that Dragon comes out with a 1/72 scale version down the road. The T-95 has been on my want list for ages.

Having scanned the parts diagram, I think she would look pretty awesome with just one set of tracks ! Leavinbg all sorts of bits for future whifs.....

Dragon are following up their US M-103 MBT in their Black Label kit with a new 1/35th scale kit of the MBT-70 in what appears to be the West German configuration  :thumbsup:. Hopefully they might consider doing the British Conqueror and late Chieftain  tanks to fill out this Cold War range of Heavy tanks  ;)

That would be cool!  :thumbsup: Great whif potential.

Has something happened to Dragon and/or their importer? The reason I ask is that Hannant's latest newsletter has the following:

Message; We have just updated our Dragon listings. We have bought all available stock of these kits from the importer. We cannot buy anymore of these. Get them while you can!  http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?adv=1&product_category_id=108&product_division_id=&manufacturer_id=7984&product_type_id=&code=&scale_id=&keyword_search=discontinued&setPerPage=25&sort=0&search_direction=0&restore_search=&save_search_active=yes&save_search_name=&save_search=

Of course it could just mean that it's this list of kits that's discontinued, but it's a big list (62 items).... :unsure:

Hope for the armour folks that it isn't a pig's breakfast like the M-103.....

Okay, a lot of money but it's a lot of plastic (it'll be up to my shoulders) and will be a very impressive model.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I didn't even know they'd done a Saturn V in 1/72 at all! That's got to be one SERIOUSLY impressive model when built.  :o

Yep - reply #243 on this thread.

Don't expect to see either of these towering over Che Weaver any time soon......

Could make an interesting conversation with a show organiser couldn't it?

"How many tables do you want?"

"Three table spaces, but only two tables, please."

"So that's three tables...."

"No TWO tables and a table-sized piece of floor...."

Thanks for that, with some extra cash I could be tempted, it'd make a great pairing with a 'full stack' Shuttle.
