Just fell in L.O.V.E.!!!:D

So once again it's a race to see who gets the same model out onto the shelves first.

This time it's Dragon Vs Tristar, as opposed to Dragon Vs Trumpeter.

Yeahhhh......It really doesn't make me feel any different.:rolleyes:

This is called DIVERSIFICATION of the product in Economics... something similar to already existing products, bu SLIGHTLY different!
Anyway, this release is always welcome!

Hi you guys !

I'm rookie here, so , I want to say that I love Dragon's Kits. I have a German Panzer 5 Panther and I loved to assembly that plastic model kit.

Great Model. I think "not the best, but between the bests"

regards.

Sorry Dargon...I will go for Tristar of all 38t series :)

[sharkmouth]

I'll take both and combine the best from each! Who wins, well let's see...will the kit be mostly tan or gray? :D

Regards,

I saw the Tristar kit fully built and painted quite sometime ago and I can say that it is one of their best to date.

I would also vote for the Tristar, but to cut and clean all those track links... I think my lazy habit will win.

Lawrence, photo???!!
I will PM you :)

[tamigawa]

me too? :) ;)

Here up north Dragon is better available than tristar and dragons kits aren't so horrible that you guys make it sound. Not even 38-family.

Saul,

I have seen your post over at TL. Does that track picture means that Tristar will come out with something similar to MagicTrack? Or these track links are on the sprues, only molded in a way to be slightly moveable?

Hi,

Here is the photo:

I really do not know. C. K. Pat circulated a Word document from which extracting the images in a clear format was not easy. Having a MOUS (Microsoft Office User Specialist) certificate, I was asked to help so I did.

I have not seen any photos of the sprues nor any text mentioning that the 'snap fitted' track is loose or on sprues. In any case, I would prefer tracks that are accurate, non-workable and with casting numbers over accurate and workable but plain.

Regards,

I prefer the Tristar 38 series as well-they're fantastic and very well engineered. Only drawback is that they make a lot of the aftermarket stuff I usually get obsolete or unusable!

Certainly better-looking than the old Alan kit.
