Cool
Saw - and quickly bought ! - a 1/35 Dragon Jagdpanzer IV/70 kit in a secondhand model shop today.

They do seem to be a mysterious company ! Kits seem to be introduced and deleted very quickly, then appearing on e-bay for megabucks....

Martin - yeah Dragon have got a bit of a rep for doing that. In the main what it has been is they have put out a kit so quickly that it is very inaccurate so they delete it and then redo it when they have the time. They recently did it with the Nashorn and the Firefly But don't worry i think the Jagdpanzer IV is ok.

Thanks, Ross - the Jagdpanzer isn't exactly a well-covered model subject !

Strange about Dragon - perhaps it's Oriental inscrutability - they do cover some nice subjects, though.

It all seems very incestuous - just bought a very cheap Italeri Me-262 to discover that in fact it's made by Dragon & sold in an Italeri box....

Martin that is because a few years ago the 2 companies shared moulds. It happens quite a lot in the industry. Mostly it happens when a comnpany goes bust and another company buys its moulds in order to keep them in circulation.

Ahhh - you'd better bring your Webley along, Watson !

All very confusing - nice, cheap kit, though.... [img]graemlins/rk.gif[/img]
