Nice

Nice pics! You really can't beat the Dragon 1/35 prebuilt armor, it is superior to anything in the mass market.

Very nice - the details are fantastic. I love this particular camo scheme. I'm going to have to look into these Dragon armor sets. Very nice quality - thanks for sharing.

It also came with some figures. For $45 and under $10 for shipping, I felt like I got my money's worth.

There's a few more here.

Those are really impressive photos.
I got the other Dragon 1/35 Panther with figures and a Tiger I with figures for about $5 each on clearance.
It appears Dragon has discontinued their 1/35 series which is too bad. I wished they had released a Maus, Jagdtiger, M36 Jackson, M18 Hellcat, etc.

I've got one of the Dragon Tiger Is with zimmermitt, the whole set of crew figures, and some infantry. I should get a Panther... Fantastic pieces. Really shows off what was missing on the 1:18 and 1:32 pieces we've gotten through the years. Only problem is that these fine tanks are 1:35 and so look a bit small when compared to the rest of my 1:32 armor. I have to display the items seperately

Thanks. Wish I had shot them with a different lens to get a greater depth of field. Of course, just getting some dedicated lighting would be a better solution.

Yeah, I had two King Tigers, two Tiger I's (61001 and 61019) and a Karl Morser Zui. Recently, we had that recent thread comparing the Panther and Tiger and it probably inspired me to pick up a Panther. I think they're fantastic for the price. Would definitely like to see some other vehicles represented (Sturmgeschütz & JadgPanther). I'd consider $50-75 reasonable. Saddened that they seem discontinued.

The tank crew figures worry me a little. Either the figure plastic or the paint seems to like to adhere to other surfaces. Leaving them lounging on a tank for a long period of time (days) might result in them leaving some paint on the tank when you remove them. Your mileage may vary.

That is a nice panther. I would have collected 1/35 dragon armour if I wasn't so absorbed into 1/32 FOV already.

Yes, the scale kills it for me. My display space is so close that I can't hide the size differences, plus all my aircraft are 1/32.

[Karl Dak]

It's really unfortunate that all of these companies make different scales. I prefer 1:32 from Ultimate Soldier. I completely undertand what you're saying. I recently picked up a FOV Hanomag and while the vehicle is a nice comparison to Ultimate Soldier in terms of size, the figures are most visibly smaller (1:35 in scale). When placing side-by-side, the difference ruins it for me. The Dragon armor is; however, really nice in detail and color.
