Any one out there in small-scale land want to speculate on whether Dragon will use these existing molds to create a 1:72 line of the same vehicles?

Think of it: a 1:72 Paladin, a 1:72 M113, a 1:72 Blackhawk....<drool>....

Too many companies out there are offering differing versions of the same usual suspects (Abrams, Bradleys, Hornets and Tomcats) -- branching out into unfilled niches could really help Dragon corner the modern tank/aviation market.

I like how you think Larry.

Thanks Gene. =)

By the way: does anyone else think that the Dragon Can-Do helicopters need to be in a darker shade?

Any idea if they'll make different versions of the same vehicle like they did with all their other Can-Dos? (Imagine a "160th SOAR 'Nightstalker'" version of the Blackhawk, or a Desert Hawk variation, or a Pave Hawk, etc....)
