That does look nice. 8)

I have never bought 1/72 anything but they have Dragon Armor at a hobby shop near where I work and it's always looking at me :? :shock:

Could someone please chime in with what they think some of the best pieces from this line are (w/o regard for "specials" or rare ones - I don't care about that)? You know, just a few that were the "best" like the XD Tiger was to the other tanks, or the halftrack to the other vehicles. Thanks! :D

Digger,
IMHO, All of the Dragon releases are extra nice.. I collect all of them with a little more attention paid to my favorites: TigerI, King Tiger, Panther..
Dragon will soon be coming out with a full series of Stugs III, IV and 250 series halftracks.. All very nice.. :wink:

BTW: I have some extras if the bug bites.. :D

1/72 scale is wonderful. You should know that it was only in 1997 that quality 1/72 scale tanks were produced, so this is a fairly new scale. I own over 30 of the Dragon tanks and can truly say that all of them are very nice. I stay with the "tanks" and don't have many of the other armored vehicles, although they are also excellent. I don't collect much modern armor either. However, I do think that one of the nicest modern tanks by Dragon is the D60035 Challenger II. The camo is nice. Anyway, join in, you will like it!

P.S. 1/72 doesn't take up much shelf space!

Thanks guys for the advice - and Andrew for the caveat. :)
They sure are cool looking, and an armor collector's dream. 8)
I was afraid you guys would say "they're all great - get 'em all :P "
With my tendencies I could become, as Centone says, the 'Pookie' of small scale armor :?
