Re: Dragon 1/6 tank
Hello there Threetoughtrucks! As I can't get You-tube on my system - I wonder if you know what type of tank destroyer is going to be released? and is this in another Dragon budget range as well as their Orange boxes? The price on the Sherman looks good, but I'm sure it'll get whacked up in price som...

Re: New Merit 1/18 DAUNTLESS DISCUSSION
DITTO on the happy.
It will make a great addition to the collection.
A Wildcat to provide escort would be nice....
and I would still like one day to see an FW190A version done in 1/18.....
Then there's the Hurricane, P51B, Ki-84, Ki-61...........

Re: "Vicky" and "Checkers" in formation!
You have a great couple of schemes. They look very good together.
All I've got so far is the original spotcat. I haven't even got round to tracking down a Black Knight, never mind going for repaints.
Are you going to add any more to your collection?

Probably not, but then again the real ones don't as a rule land on picnic tables.
This is an excellent looking model. I love the choice of scheme.

Re: Dragon 1/6 tank
Ah yes, but that's 3 times bigger in 3 dimensions.
1/18 Sherman approx 6" x 6" x 13" = 468 cubic inches
1/6 Sherman approx 38" x 18" x 18" = 12312 cubic inches
should be about 3x3x3 in volume.............

Re: Dragon 1/6 tank
If I can get it through the door, it's going in the collection.
And in 1/6, the model should be in the region of 3ft 2" long x 18" high and wide.
So that's me in the queue too.

Threetoughtrucks
Thanks for that advice, it's just excellent, I don't think I'd have ever considered toxic fumes as part of my decision-to-buy process!!
I'll wait and see what experience others have who go ahead and buy it.

Re: Dragon 1/6 tank
Threetoughtrucks - Sorry, $75 (dollars) is the drop in price. I'm finding them on sale now for about $275 - $280 which although may seem expensive, isn't bad for over here when compared with the SAS desert raider Jeep going for the $150 mark. I'd love to go for the pre-built panzer but so far I've o...

I've been holding off on the the 1/6 Panzer II kit and it's started lowering in price at various outlets, gone down by equivelent of $75 in the last week or so, so now I've got to gamble if the price is going to go lower, against missing the end of the drop and watching the price go up again as they...

Re: 1:18 Spitfire Markings Question
At the moment my Spitfire is in storage, so I can't check, but from your photograph there are possibly no serial numbers on the model? If that's the case, your roundels could make it accurate for DW-K X4102 which was written off following a crash landing after combat with 109s on August 24th 1940. T...

Re: 1:18 Spitfire Markings Question
Here's the info I've found: The underwing roundel (or lack of it) is due to when the markings were actually introduced. The transition from black/white undersides to all sky was effective June 6th 1940 for service aircraft, and June 11th for new production aircraft, but underwing roundels weren't in...

Did anyone get the Fuyuan/Vantex 1/6 Shermans or M36 TD?

Re: RC tank---27 MHz or 49 MHz?
They're just different frequencies.
It doesn't matter which you have if you're only running one item, but if you plan to use two, then best to get one on each frequency or you'll get cross-channel interference with one controller trying to control both items.
Hope this helps.
