 Subject:  Re: Anyone else got the new Dragon Panther A early?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jun 7, 2002
 From:  Warrink 
We finally managed to get one today, and I 'm very impressed. The wheels and
tracks are, indeed, great and I just hope they'll release them separately,
although I fear those days are gone now.. Don't tell anyone, but secretly I like
the moulded-on suspension arms! Another thing you don't often see is the correct
ring inside the muzzle brake. It's a minor detail, but still it's there. You're
right about the schürzen though, the cuts aren't straight and the sheet itself
is bent in several directions. This is the only disappointing feature of the kit
for me, makes me wish they had left them out and put in the mesh covers. Oh
wait, that's the second disappointing thing :-] The instruction photos would
benefit from increasing the contrast somewhat, I think, and I personally feel
they should go back to using line drawings, I can see what's going on but a
novice may not. Other than this though, this is one of the finest kits of the
year. Now all we have to do is practice zimmerit a bit more :-]
