Duncan,

Here's some dimentions for you.

Dragon Kit 6069 - Schwerer Plattfomwagen Typ SSy. Can carry any of the Panther series and has two four wheen rotating trucks. The deck length is 10 17/32 inches or 268 mm long. Thats the deck wihtout the buffers. Add another 3/4 inch or 19 mm to each end for the buffers. Width is 3 1/2 inches or 89 mm wide.

Ironside by Azimut Kit number IR012 Typ SSyms. Can carry any if the tiger series and has two six wheel trucks. The deck length is 13 11/6 inches or 342 mm. Again without the buffers. Add another 13/16 inch or 20 mm.

I have both and I'm not a big fan of the Irionside plastic. It's waxy, btittle, and difficult to work with.

If you have your heart set on one in plastic, Ironside is the only game around.

George
