That does look nice.
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
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!

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

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.
I was afraid you guys would say "they're all great - get 'em all

"
With my tendencies I could become, as Centone says, the 'Pookie' of small scale armor
