I almost exclusively collect tanks, but really like the look of the Dragon
1/72 Warbirds, esp. the Japanese Zeros and some of the German planes. Does anyone have these? How much metal? How detailed, etc.
Thanks

Philip,
I primarily collect 1/72 Corgi and Dragon aircraft.. Dragon aircraft are really nice and are well worth the price.. The zeros are especially nice..
Here is a diecast forum that is for mostly 1/72 and aircraft..

re: Dragon's 1/72 Planes
Hi Philip,
I've got a couple Dragons Warbirds. They are nice and compare well with the Corgi birds. I have DRW50049 261ST, DRW50042 Zuikaku, and the Sakai DRW50010 A6M2's and display all of them in my 1:72 Collection. I collect Corgi, Matchbox, Witty, Dragon, Easy, IXO. I "cherry pick" and just get the ones I like.
My favorite Dragon A6 of the bunch is the Zuikaku, but I would like to see a “Molt camo” version kinda like the Matchbox A6M5 except that the "green" dots should be sprayed over the bare aluminum frame.
Just my .02
Happy Hunting!
ps> much metal? Plenty, except for the landing gear, display stand, prop, cockpit glass and misc. antennas.
How detailed? Pretty detailed, however I am not a big fan of the "black marker" weathering to highlight the panel lines. This may pertain to some of their earlier releases.
