Re: Model Kit Reviews

Every single time I apply a decal mate.
BTW...our daughter was born at 2.35am on 3/11/08 weighing 3.85kg which I'm told is about 8lbs. God I'm tired...and I didn't even have to push a baby out. My son is asleep on the sofa and I'm ready for bed myself and it's only 6.18pm.
Peace lads and ladettes.

Re: Model Kit Reviews

Congratulations !! Well done and please pass on congratulations to all concerned. It is a tiring time but we have to soldier on. I had three and was back at work the next day in all cases (I may be the father but these days we can't discriminate now can we).

Re: Model Kit Reviews

Well here is the Dragon Premium edition King Tiger II Porsche. This could be
either a tip on how to do Zimmerit or a review

Anyway, its a great kit, with lots of options, the best being if you really
hate working with PE you have the plastic option. The cables are a bitch to
work with as they don't stay bent real well. My plan is a very war beaten tank
that has just crashed thru a wall. So alot of customised damaged. The Zimm
was applied with Testors putty, i don't like 2 part stuff, and Squadron dries
too fast. I'll post more a bit later.

Re: Model Kit Reviews

LT, It sure looks good but with that kind of damage to the showel it wouldn't hang in there any more. Place it on the ground instead.

Re: Model Kit Reviews

The tracks look really good. Are they the standard tracks for the model ?

Re: Model Kit Reviews

Yes, it's Dragon's Magic Tracks that comes with the kit.

Re: Model Kit Reviews

OOB?? Yeah the shovel would have been blown off, maybe, but i'm leaving
it to show more action. I'm not trying to be 100% correct on it, i'm just
going what i think looks good to me, even tho it might be a stretch.

Re: Model Kit Reviews

Oh yeah it all is, i didn't buy any after market stuff for this baby.

You would think Tamiya would look at these kits Dragon is putting out and cuz given the choice, with the price the same Dragon gives you
everything you could want and more in a kit!





Oh and color directions
