discussion Dragon to no longer make Model Kits?

Just watched a YT vid which seems to suggest this, Dragon no longer making plastic scale model kits.
I've made a few of their kits and always enjoyed them......see link...

For one I shant miss their instructions or the multiple sprues.

I wonder if they are moving more into the print-at-home market

Sounds like they are going into research and production design, leaving the physical manufacturing to others. After all, there are a large number of kit manufacturers out there now, and they must be getting their tooling information from someone. You could also be right about 3D printing, either at home or in a print shop, as that wave is starting to build amplitude very quickly.

I don't have a lot of experience with Dragon kits although I have a couple of their 1/35 tanks in the stash.

It's a shame they won't develop new kits but I'm sure their molds will go on to other kit makers, their kits already repopped by FineMolds and Platz that I'm aware of
