| I agree with ya Hans. Personally, I'm not into Allied armor a whole lot, I guess cuz the kits are really so so and there isn't a variety. Manufacturers work on the basis of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I work part time at a hobby shop here in Arizona that sells mainly 1/6th scale action figure stuff (by mail order) and there's lots of people that ask about stuff for Vietnam and Dragon made Vietnam figures, but they just sucked and not a lot of people didn't buy them because of the poor quality and the lack of real detail and Dragons position was that "we're not going to make it anymore because apprently you guys don't like that you lost that war" and that is just far from the truth. So now, almost all that they make is just WWII stuff, and some modern, but not in quantites to match what they make for WWII german stuff... On the subject again though, I believe that it isn[t really right or rather fair that there's more German stuff that's real good, versus the not as good Allied stuff....It's a shame, but hopefully, companies like DML will see that light at the end of the tunnel and I personally believe that at some point, the bubble will burst, so to speak, regarding the neglect of Allied stuff. Maybe the DML Sherman at the Bulge is a sign of better things to come.... |
