Excellent information Shane, keep these fabulous videos coming. I find all your videos very informative, helpful.
thanks Jeff ! its properly the biggest kit I've got for the channel, really looking forward to starting it !
I built this kit several years back. It's well designed so I didn't have any build issues. It came out looking good and I put the M40 self propelled howitzer on the trailer. I'm interested to see your skills put to use on this one Shane.
I've built a little bit of the tractor so far, and it seems its gonna be a great kit, gonna do video build of it as some point, will probarly have it towing a captured Jagdtiger based on a famous photo
Exceptional review Shane!!Look forward to see the progress on the build...pulling up a chair to watch!
thanks my friend ! It is quite the beast but a beauty indeed ! Hope to be starting this monster very soon, just need to finish a video that I was commissioned to produce for a site and once that's off the bench the great adventure begins ! :)
I always wanted 2 build this kit this friday i taked the step and buyed it for 95 euros and already buyed the right paint for the kit every thing that i need for it this is going to ne a nice easy no hurry build for me now i gonna so some Research about the M26 Dragon Wagon to get te best results in my building project
its a great kit !
A very nice kit there Shane looks a great piece of engineering your going to have fun with this I can tell 😁
thanks Faron I can't wait to start it !
Brosef, when you gonna build this beast?!?
at some point got a lot of big builds underway at the moment
Looks great! Can't wait to see the build. Just ordered mine! :)
deadly ! its a great kit and can't wait to start mine too !
you forgot to mention that this particular kit is blessed by the Hamilkar because i touched it in person :D
very well reviewed, you kept it at a good pace! i have no doubt this will be a stunning piece when it sits on a dio and takes care of a sherman.
hahah I thought you wouldn't want to be publicly associated with something that hauls dirty shermans ;)
thanks mate,I really didn't want this review to go on and on, so glad to see that you guys felt that it drag, the dio is gonna be badass for this one !
you have my approval anyway :D
Just picked this up the other day on Facebook here in NZ. Have you built your one yet? Nobody has any decent videos for building these as of yet. Looking forward to seeing your one 😉
oh nice its an awesome kit! I have yet to build me yet, have been trying to figure out what have it towing, and think I've finally found a cool subject for the Dragon Wagon to tow based on some very interesting photos I found in a Zaloga book. So I hope to start this project in the new year so keep an eye out on the channel.
@@longlance67 I have made a start on the M26 Recovery Vehicle kit they have. Seems to be just like any other Tamiya kit so far. Managed to pick up a set of resin wheels and a book by David Doyle all about the History of the Dragon Wagon and all other variations of it. Definitely recommend it if you can find a copy. Lots of great pictures and ideas in there
This is a beauty of a kit. I built just the Dragon Wagon itself and it is really very nice.
Hey I am currently building it and was wondering the trailer wheels don’t really move is it like that for your build? Really need to know!
@@yamenlasyho9718 I never built the trailer. I only had the kit with just the transporter itself.
A nice review review as always my friend :)
thanks my friend !
Sweet review thank you Shane
Encore
Thanks mate, I really need to get this started one of the days
I shouldn't have sold mine! I'll never be able to by it once more. You'll really enjoy the build, Shane. It's a typical Tamiya kit. Maybe the build even procedes too fast for the size of that kit. Very nice review, mate. :)
maybe one day you may snap up another for a bargain never know my friend !
That doesn't really bother me if it builds quick, also considered myself more and a painter and weathering guy than a builder, have always felt that a lot of modern kits are something over engineered for the sack of it at times. But we shall see how she comes together it should be a great journey. I am very happy to have you along Jens !
Shane.
You're absolutely right. For example the PE of that lovely tractor I just built was something I could have done without. :)
Non-Prolific 1/35th Scale Model Builder I know right its like they trying to punish us lol tried building Miniarts Harley Davidson a while back my god was it stupid complex lol
Hahaha!
I just bought this kit and the decals are all yellow,Does anyone know if anyone reproduces them?Thanks
I have this kit and it's been in storage since 1998. lol
mine has been in my stash for almost three years now though I finally have a project in mind for mine finally
@@longlance67
That sounds great!
I'm thinking of building the Academy M-51 Super Sherman, it too has also been stored away.
I'm hoping, that by watching you (and others) do their builds. I might find the motivation to start building again.
Did you ever build it ?
not yet mate, still figuring out what do I want it to be towing
funny how they advertise the kit in places you only see when you've already bought the kit
thats cookies for you lol
are you going to build it? I hope so....👷
your in luck I totally in tend to create something awesome with this ;)
oops I should have finished watching before I commented.
happens to the best of us ;)
@longlance67 If you have completed this build did your trailer wheels move since mine doesn’t really move please get back to me!
I haven't started my kit yet. But will be starting it soon hopefully
What happened to this kit? Did you ever build it?
not yet, I intend to build it with the landing craft in the future !
Man build this kit now :)
I will start this build soon, finally got a tow for it
@@longlance67 So glad hearing that. I wait to build this kit with you watching your build. Love doing that sometimes, big inspiration and more fun.
