AnonymousDFB1 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) I'll be entering with my first ever taste of a Dragon Armour kit, Tried one of their aircraft and put it in the bin I hope to be building this one as one of the last M-51 in service with the Israeli Army, well that's the plan.

Bullardino Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Watch out, their instruction leaflet isn't that clear and needs lot of study The tank you chose is a nice one, I've seen it built from both academy and tamiya kits, I look forward to seeing the dragon one built Edited May 26, 2012 by Bullardino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullardino Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm comparing tamiya and dragon, and until now dragon seems much more detailed. Nice build so far, Garfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Worked mostly on the turret today, with just a few odds on the hull. Just got the smoke dischargers to attach to the turret, lights, guards and shackles on the hull and she's ready for priming. More soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sort of stalled on this one. To be honest all that PE has sort of sapped my mojo. I'll finish her though, just need to get something small done to break up the slog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullardino Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Oh, I suppose I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping to read some great new progress I guess I'm a little bit spoiled by you two (Garfield included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
