Hello John,

Yep, i am from Coelianmodels. I am very pro Revell. Yes that is right. Just like some peolpe like movie's with Arnold Schwarzeneger. And other people prefer movie's with Clint Eastwood. So my review might be a bit colored.
At the moment i am working on an article for a magazine.I need to finish that before i can start building the Nashorn. I had started building the Dragon kit but got realy fed up with it. It looked so great, so good. All the reviews where so positief. I couldn't wait to build it. But what a dissapointment. The fit was not as good as one might expect. The instructions were confusing. I know that i now get all the flak for bringing this up. But i am not the only one to do this. And surtenly not the first. To all the people that have trailed there guns on me, i want to say one thing: BUILD THE KIT AND PLEASE PROOF ME WRONG! I would love to have gotten it wrong. I would love to be the sucker that got the rotten apple from the perfectly good tree. I would love to be gleu sniffer, that could not see clear any more... PLEASE PROOF ME WRONG.
The Revell kit is also far from perfect. The plastic seems to be of not the seem qaulaty it used to be. Some details have been left of. Some parts have been simplefied for construction. Hatches are closed. Come on Revell open them up!
I only prefer the Revell kit because it has the link and lenght track. That hopefully won't be to short. The instructions are clear. And the Detail is much more in scale.
I agree with Dougs remark. There is room form a 3rd Nashorn. Both Dragon and Revell kits don't live up to the expectations we have come to expect from a new kit.
I think Revell and Dragon have pushed each other in to a frensy to be the first to come out with the new Nashorn. And both lost. At the moment i just prefer the Revell kit.

Gert,
How would like to be proven wrong about the Dragon Nashorn ;-)
