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......... ;D

And if it's moulded by Dragon the bits won't fit and there'll be 3-4 that aren't mentioned in the instructions anyway......
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

With Dragon I wouldn't bank on it having four legs.....

going back to post 306 on P21  id not recommend the Conqueror.  some of the parts don't fit without heavy filing ( the back plate of the hull for starters)   the mounts and arms, to hang the bazooka plate off of have tiny contact points, and will fall off afterwards with a look.
considering this is a "Black Label" kit which is supposed to be a sign of a higher quality kit,  my opinion is pretty low.
I wouldn't get another.
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Black label is not higher quality just a more unusual subject matter that's all. The Amusing Hobby Conqueror is supposed to be a better and more accurate model.

Dragon's 2018 Catalogue seems to suggest their 1/144 B-1B kit is back in production.  Does anyone have any corroborating evidence to support this? It doesn't seem to be out yet, so I'm wondering if there's been any sort of announcement as to when it will hit shelves?
Thanks!
