So it's not just dragon planes that are a pig to fit together, I don't know if you see my me262 but that was/is a mare too!


Anyhow John it's looking very nice and the only thing with a tricky build that requires work is it makes you appreciate the better fitting kits and probably brings out our best work.


Now watching.

Haven't built a dragon kit in ages so won't be in a rush to build another ..and very true does test our building skills and it is nice to see how your can turn it round

Testing is definitely the word on these kits!


If you have the patience they do make for nice models though, from the one I have done and others that I've seen.

Just caught up on this one John and what cracking work you've done it looks every part a Tamiya kit not the Dragon with all the gaps you had to fill

 

[PhilJ]

Looking nice John, great extra effort with the mud effect it looks great

 

[Razzie43]

Hi John,what kind of colour did you use?


(it looks like olive drab?)


the kit i have is not better then yours


Sprocket wheels are so wide they don't fit on the tracks.
