DML stands for Dragon Models Limited.

They also re-release under the name "Shanghai Dragon"
After you've been building a while you will find all kinds of "cross-pollinations" between the manufactures. Some of the early DML/Dragon kits are from the older Gunze Sangyo "HiTech" molds. Whereas the later series of PzIII/StugIII are DML/Dragon molds. Just like Testors/Italeri have released some of the Zvezda kits, notably the PzIB series. And some of the Revell(Germany) kits are Italeri/DML/Dragon molds

Don't forget that DML/Dragon/Shanghai Dragon reboxes other people's kits too. Among the ones I can recall off hand are the VM Bishop and Valetine as well as a small early armored truck.

They also reboxed the Alan Panzer II C and BA-20. The BA-20 is the same as the Alan version, but the Panzer II C had 1 sprue of DML parts added and was called the DAK Panzer II C.

I might add that with the reboxed Alan kits, Dragon left the Alan logo on the box, so it's easy to tell.
