Yep same here. I got fed up with giving money to a company that releases kits that it must know have problems. I sometimes wonder if they even build their own kits before selling them. |

To be honest I like Dragon kits.
I know there are a few issues with the instructions, but the kits are very accurate.

The one I really liked was the Type 95 Ha-Go. A lovely little kit even if you don't get much plastic for your money. The one that I ended up binning was the Sexton II. There where some minor issues that I'd put into the category of they shouldn't be there but I can live with them. The one that I just thought, no not good enough was fitting the upper and lower hull together. Even with a lot of work I still couldn't get it to sit straight and a bit of googlefoo revealed that it was a really common problem.

I was going mention that kit, as it was talked about. It is also one I then avoided  |

I have always loved their 1/72 scale line, except for the metal hulled models which I never built. All their earliest models in my scale were sensational with no real issues. I built nearly their entire line of 1/72 scale models because of that. Not that any of that is important in a thread about Dragon 1/35th scale models.....  |

It's important to know how these kits go together, in all scales and genres. Thanks for letting us know that the plastic 1/72 kits are good  |
