was up in Andy's neighborhood this afternoon looking for a 38T and another piece of German armor for a kit bash. I picked up a Dragon 38T and another Tasca Jumbo. I was faced with either finding the new production 38T from Hobby Boss (the good TriStar) or an older Dragon and maybe an Italeri. I have the TriStar in my stash, and maybe a Trumpeter somewhere. To be exact I have all the pieces anyway, but didn't want to bust up another good kit without another use for the remainder. I need a good 250/9 half track! More on this later.
I got home with the new Dragon kit with plans on cutting it up. This is a newer 38t-s that comes with a fuel trailer. What a nice little kit! Has two frets of PE, Magic Tracks, and a very nice interior. Even has the engine and transmission; plus what looks like all the linkages. Kinda like a TriStar kit built by Dragon. About the only thing missing is a metal gun barrel! Even the famous 38T rivet detail looks to be well done.
Of course the Jumbo was perfect!
