    New 1/72 Dragon Tiger I coming

    This new Hybrid Tiger I, 60289 is now available. The description of this tank says it is finished with a "tasteful degree of weathering." Hmm. I looked back at all my Dragon Tigers and I found only two with a "tasteful degree of weathering." 60022 and 60097 both have very nice rust marks. I'm...

    Wittman in 1/35th and two new 1/72 Shermans

    I have numerous Dragon 1/72 tanks. Their early releases had much more metal, but even though the metal content has plummeted the quality has stayed high. Admiral Toys' 1st few issues in 1/72 were 90% metal, now they have adopted Dragon's production scheme - mainly plastic. It will be...

    New 1/72 Dragon Tiger I coming

    I do love Dragon armor, and will continue to purchase their issues. However, because of their price increase, I am purchasing fewer items. In the past I have purchased 5-10 pieces per year, now, 2-5. The good thing is that several webstores have the earlier Dragon armor at good prices. I...

    New 1/72 Dragon Tiger I coming

    Don't count Dragon out. Just when you think they are slacking, they come through. Too successful a company to be left behind. Personally, I'm waiting for the Stug III and the recently postponed Jagdpanthers.

    New 1/72 Dragon Tiger I coming

    Dragon is producing another Tiger I in 1/72. This is a "hybrid" tank. Yawn, yawn, yawn. I love the Tiger I, but please give us a unique camo. This camo is very similar to previous issues.

    What's with Cyber-Hobby?

    I e-mailed Dragon about when the next 1/72 armor CH would be out. They had no clue.

    FOV vs. 21st Century

    FOV, hands down. I have 2 FOV tanks, a T-72 and a King Tiger. I also have a 21 Ct. King Tiger and Jagdtiger. Comparing the two King Tigers, the FOV is way better, in my opinion. I just bought the Dragon 1/35 Tiger I, Eastern Front, very nice, but all plastic. I got it at Monkey Depot for...

    What's with Cyber-Hobby?

    I have two CH Dios, but, you are right; no new ones on the horizon. I collect mainly 1/72 because of cost, and display space. However, I do have 2 FOV 1/32 tanks - T-72 and a King Tiger. I really like them. I also just bought the Dragon 1/35 Tiger I, Eastern Front (on sale for $42.00 at...

    new release-dragon 1/35th scale "elefant" armer series

    I recently bought the Dragon 1/35 Tiger I Eastern Front from Monkey Depot for $41.99. I must say that I do like this tank, however, it appears to be all plastic. These tanks, including the Elephant, list at $89.99. In my opinion that is grossly overpriced. I also think that anything above...

    The Shermans are coming!!!

    I got my Dragon Shermans today, and yes, they are stunning! Certainly CDC quality, but, w/out the metal content of CDC, or the Matchbox Shermans. Still, a great buy. No matter how much I try, I just can't keep up with my spouse. She made one B through two college degrees. Straight A's in...

    The Shermans are coming!!!

    Pat, Thanks for the welcome, but it is Philip, not Paul. Although, over the years if anyone ever misses my name, they substitute Paul for Philip. Hmm . . . . Interesting. Please send that "intelligent" statement to my wife. Philip, or Paul.

    The Shermans are coming!!!

    I ordered both of these, even though I have 16 of the CDC Shermans! CDC tanks are extremely nice with a high metal content. The Dragon tanks are certainly in the same category as CDC, and somewhat more detailed, mainly because they are basically plastic. In my opinion, Dragon has set a high...
