I embedded a youtube video on my blog, it was an evalauation of the type 95 by the allies. Don't think I can embed it here due to no HTML functionality, but I can link to it. Obviously I don't claim any credit for originally uploading the video.

Looking forward to those Tiger (P) pictures, its my avatar!
Related to the Tiger (P), has anyone any other pictures of the "Rammtiger", this is the only one I've found. Hope Dragon make a 1:72 model of it.

That Rammtiger picture is a fake. It was made using a Cromwell models conversion kit in photoshop. Here's a link that discusses it, and further on the site the owner of Cromwell states that the pic was made by a friend of his: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47207/me ... ER+%28P%29
Wow! I could never understand what people do this for :?

iirc, I think it was originally done as part of an advertisement for the Cromwell kit. There's plenty of photoshop stuff out there that was done for more underhanded reasons.

Wow, thank you for pointing this out. Now that you have I can see its colour is out and it doesn't "fit" in the picture. Talk about effective marketing...

WOW. Just checked the flying mule and it looks like they got all of the new dragon armour releases first.

That's often the advantage of being a retailer on the west coast, or at least that is what I've seen.

I just checked dragon's website and it seems that there is another Ha Go, a Chinese version, is coming out as well.
