Is there a market among the RC guys for Dragon's Vehicles?

[Pete Mallett]

I know a lot of you like to pick-up figures for your vehicles etc. but is there any market among the RC guys for the static vehicles produced by DML, things like Kubes, Scwimmers, Motorcycle Combo's etc. ?

[Phil Woollard]

In a word Pete yes, I think I can say for the majority that we would be interested in the plastic stuff, I like to use them for dressing dioramas, figures and vehicles as they add more interest and therefore compliment the Armortek vehicles.
I Have something big and new and tracked that might be of interest to you so I will send a PM regards Phil.

Pete,
You have a PM

Hi Pete,
Yes Dragon figures and vehicles are great for jazzing up dioramas.Add that extra touch.

Hi all,
The Dragon 1/6 models, with a lot of effort can be converted into reasonable RC models themselves, which make great accessories to the big tanks. RC or not they are great battlefield accessories. Also most like Kettenkrad, US Jeep, Schwimmwagon etc are very hard to find as the production run was limited.

I like tinkering with em, so I'd say yes there is a market for them.

Best regards,
Bob

I have just finished a dragon schwimmwagen , I bought this as a kit from wonderland models
It makes up into a ver nice model , I fitted a wood floor , Tim catton,s oar and numberplates and the resin wheels from wherkstat , it goes very well with my panzer 111

David,
That is an amazing Schwimmy! Beautiful work. Looks nearly convincing to be 1:1. The rolled maps are a great touch. A feast for the eyes.

[David Gray]

Thanks Bob , quite pleased with it , they are a good kit to turn into rc even seen
An amphibious version pity they don't make them anymore

Beautiful job indeed on the schwimmwagon .

Only wish I could find one of the kits for sale. If only I had bought a few of the Dragon 1:6 vehicles and put them aside a few years ago. Oh well do have one of the US army jeep kits sitting in the loft though.

Here are a couple pix of my Dragon 1/6 Sherman. Its a fun kit. But Big! There are a lot of inaccuracies with the kit - but plastic is so easy to work with. I made the suspension fully functional - I have no idea why! LOL.

Enjoy:

Chaps, a gentle reminder to keep within the spirit of the Forum, which is about Armortek products and aftermarket items directly related to them? Interesting though these models are, this thread is stretching the spirit of the Forum a bit. I fear Gill's red pen may be poised......

Thanks
