I wonder if the new updated/upgraded premium edition is better than the old trumpeter Tirpitz.. I remember reeading couple reviews stating the Trump was better than the (old) Dragon.

from the previous DML/Dragon special editions, I guess that it could be the previous model with brass PE details...
But I could be wrong!

Having built both the trumpy and dragon bismarck's i would say the trumpy kit is better, crisper, better deck, one piece hull against dragons 2 which makes it rather annoying to fit and sand everything together.
