looking at the new 251 from dragon theres some nice bits in the box
a set of figures
some nice gear
and a driver figure and a add on armour bit for the engine sump
im not that interested in the early German stuff but i would like Dragon to add the Clothes to other kits
That IS nice! Every time I want some German uniforms to throw on a diorama, I have to make mediocre looking blobs out of lead foil. Too bad I already have three 251’s hanging around!
Oh come on!
You can never have too many 251’s!
That’s some great goodies their throwing in.
Hmmmm, that is one halftrack that i have to add to my collection…i like halftracks
I just can believe all the good stuff that is being put today.

Definatly a one up on the Tamiya kit.
I concur with Beav and Mark and Chris. Dragon is doing some great things. Tamiya better get on the ball and start putting out some indy tracks and pe with their kits.
They have started Tigerman.
The Pz IVJ and Sdkfz223 have both had PE added to the kits. With an increase in price as well.
I’ve not seen the Pz IVJ, but I am currently building the 223.
It’s kind of dissapointing. The PE is only for the screens, nothing else. The rest of the kit is the same (with the same mistakes).
And to make matters worse, they have blocked out all the SS and swasticas on the instruction sheets. Thank goodness the decals are still correct!
Don’t get me wrong. I like PE, it’s just that I would rather had the mistakes in the kit fixed rather than increase the cost by $5 and get just PE for the screens.
Dollar for dollar, I just don’t think you can beat Dragon or maybe Academy on value. [2c]
