Any 1/144 Dragon Shermans on the horizon?

Post by Philip » Wed Sep 28, 2005 11:55 pm

Does anyone know if Dragon has any Shermans planned for their can.do 1/144 tanks? All their 1/144 tanks are so nice, I just can't understand why they wouldn't produce a Sherman, esp. when their competitor, Takara, has Shermans which are $7.00 - $10.00 each. With Dragon selling theirs at ca. $4.00, you would think that they would notice this and act accordingly. Anyway, does anyone have any inside info. on possible 1/144 Shermans?

Not to kick over the can 'o worms over "Germen sells", but Dragon has always been enamored with anything German.

Can't blame them; they get a lot of mileage out of a German mold given the variety of repaints they can get away with.

Not as many ways to do OD.

At least Takara's WTM has some variety. How are those Takara Shermies BTW?

I ordered the Shermans from The Panzer Place, but won't get them until the middle to last of October. They are being shipped directly from Japan. I did get two Firefly Shermans which are nice. I'll post info. when I get them.
