Oh yeah! [:D]
Looks nice, but IMO the most exciting of the 251 variants is the UHU IR support vehicle. The AFVClub one looks just awesome.
COOL!! Didn’t the sides of that baby fold down too? I wonder if you can model it like that?
The 251/23 that mounted the 75mm L/70 gun of the Jagdpanzer IV is the one I really want! Yeah, so they only built one, and scrapped the idea after the recoil tipped the halftrack over during trials, but it still looks really cool!
The Dragon 251/17 will be on my to-do list, though!
Yes, I believe it does, but you lose what little protection you have.
AFVClub is comming out with one as well on this one you can mold the sides down. The constructin is very complex. It involves cutting out a chunk of the hull to make room of the fold down sides.
The Dragon hull sides fold as well and are seperate parts not invoving any cutting. Just look at the picture:
I wish AFV Club and Dragon would stop copying one another. Seems like the minute one releases something, the other is right behind them. LOL
AMEN BROTHER!
No way… keeps the price down. There is a certain entertainment value that comes with this rivalry. I can’t wait to see a threeway with the Stryker. Trumpeter, AFV and Dragon. Bow, chicka bow wow.[8D]
Gosh dangit, they keep bringing out new versions of my favorite track (I gots me a collection), but I can neither afford to, nor keep building them fast enough!..Oh well…
I wondered if DML would do this one considering they’d already released a “standard” 251/17…the DML Flak 38 is superior IMHO to the Tristar Flak 38 in the detail department so I’ll be watching for the “side by side” reviews very closely before comitting to one or the other. [:D]
If you haven’t seen it yet, Perth’s review of Trump’s Stryker was so-so. I’m sure Dragon will blow it out of the water.
I read that too. I was very keen on that Trump Stryker, but I’m going to wait for the AFV Club one now.
