| Subject: | Reminiscing about Dragon kit quality |  |

Hello all,
This is a general post. I have no issues to bring up and I don't work for
Dragon.
I am being sentimental, because I'm grateful to many manufacturers for the
quality and variety of kits and accessories being offered today.
I have to single out DML though, as I've been enjoying assembling the new
Dragon Panther kit and I got to thinking that Dragon can be very proud of a
long list of excellent plastic kits.
My favourites in no particular order are :
Pershings/Pattons
Jagdtigers
T34s and variants
IS and variants
the new Panther
I'm picking on these kits because they're great straight out of the box. I
have stacks of other Dragon kits, and while I like them too, the above kits
are especially nice.
Pardon the "feel-good" tone, but I think it's nice to say "good work" to the
makers. My impression is that they take a lot of flak for their goofs and/or
choices. When it comes right down to it there's probably more good to say
about their work than bad.
Besides, if we're really nice, maybe Dragon will do a knock-out T-55 that
matches the quality of the kits I've mentioned above.
One can always hope.
