This was on another post also. Let's see four, count four, Shermans, a couple of T34s, two British and two American figure sets. If they even come out with half this stuff this year I'll take back everything I've ever said about Dragon. I reall, really, don't mind them coming out with all this German stuff and long as they give us Allied guys a few kits too. Thing is I've heard they don't always deliver on promises as far as introductory dates are concerned. Here's hoping though.

Quite an impressive release list... But it's a shame they don't throw in some Red Army figures, and more soviet tanks...

See yaaa

The complete lists should be posted up on the 'NEWS' sometime today. Just a couple of points.... Do we really need TWO Kingtigers? The Shermans are nice additions however, two of the kits are exactly the same. The USMC M4A2 and the Soviet M4A2 are the same version (apart from the decals one assumes) It's a pity that they hadn't put in a different turret (75mm) with the USMC version... The U.S. Army support team is a nice addition although the 75mm RR is already available in the Tamiya set as is the 60mm mortar. More British infantry are always welcome, hopefully these will include what Tamiya DIDN'T INCLUDE In their British Infantry set... Some accurate Lee-Enfields would be nice.... It's a start I suppose but without a doubt the debate will start over the differences between the AFV Club and Dragon Sd.Kfz 251s...Jim

Wow. 1/144 scale armor - didn't know they made kits THAT small.... #:-)

Looks like a whopper list - wonder what surprises the "SECRET ITEMS" are?

Sure wish they'd start releasing kits with a choice of 1-piece or indie-links though, like Academy did before... Damn indie links are intimidating!

p.s. What's an M1A1 AIM?

What inpress me is that there are 4 "secret items". From past experience, when DML says secret item, it is a brand new one, not a variant.

That looks like a long list. But if you count how many kits DML released in the last 2 months of 2003, it looks "normal".

So it will be a great years for us, only cash will be running low, as well as my space for storage!
