.perfect example is the ex-dragon kits that airfix are launching

Are they? Are they decent kits or are they really old ones that are rubbish?

Hi all,
My understanding is that they are academy kits re-released under the Airfix label, some of them aren't too bad but the moulds are getting older, in answer to the opening question for me it was a combination of Francois Verlinden, Tamiya and my annual visits to Bovington.
regards Jim

Apologies I work in 1/48 so my arguments are selfishly in that direction.

In that case I suspect you’re right, but then again, I think the vast majority off 1/48 scale armour kits are from the Second World War, not just the German ones. Then again, that’s also the case in most other scales

No worries Paul,
I'll be honest I'd love to buy Dragon Tigers at Academy/Airfix prices.
