Dragon (DML)

[Old Wombat]

And detail on the insides of the hatches, at least!

I'll probably end up buying one but I'll hold off building it until some after-marketeer brings out a detail/upgrade set before building it.

[Captain Canada]

Good deal ! You guys are lucky to have that over there 

[Weaver]

Don't think this is new as such, but I just noticed that even though it's described as German WWII infantry weapons, it actually contains some really rare Czech, Hungarian and Finnish items:

Angled deck Essex in 1/700th:

The very first angled deck IIRC.

Nope, the first actual conversion, the RN proved the concept by painting the angle on. The USN were able to do a full mod as the Essex were wooden flightdecks where as a Brit ish carrrier had steel decks and the flight deck was the strength deck where the US ones were the Hanger deck so it was a more involved refit to reposition the arrestor gear to match the angle.

That's what I meant, the first angled deck built as such.............

Nice ! Love the early angled decks. I'd like to someday do one in 350th scale.

That's cool - especially if it has the Sikorsky with it. I'd love to see an "at sea" diorama with the chopper hovering off the side. Cool.

I don't know who is more excited.....me or my son Max......Dragon have announced a 'Phase 1' range of Star Wars kits in 1/144....to include the Millenium Falcon,  Tie fighters, x wings,  AT-ST and AT-AT.......if that ain't enough....in 1/35 a snow speeder and an AT-AT.....just wondering of the size of it let alone the price........

[KiwiZac]

I've been following Dragon's Star Wars teases on Facebook and Twitter for some time, I think my excitement challenges yours and Max's! A very exciting prospect.

Why ? !!!!!

Dragon are not really know for being sticklers for accuracy and even correct scaling !!!! - I much prefer the Bandai 1/72 kits

[Army of One]

In truth.....excited for Max.....the look on his face was fantastic when I showed him the pics of the walker.....he loves the proper three SW films and the Battle of Hoth being amongst his favourite scenes. To him, if its on four legs, has a boxy type body and a movable head with frickin lasers on it.....it's an AT-AT......it's probably going to be out of his price range anyway.........
