Oh yeah! ..... and don't forget, burn my eyesight up twice as quick. I just build a bigger base. My display area is 21 x 10 meter shed. Lots of room left.

That's about what, 63 x 30 feet, or a bit bigger? That's 3/4 as big as my house! Man I'd kill to have even 1/4 as much room to work in. I've got a lawyers bookcase about 3 foot by 1 foot and four shelves high. No wonder you handle 1/350. As for me I some day wish to be able to display 1/350 and I hope DML will consider up sizing this to that size.

I love 1/700 scale, so it's perfect for me. If Dragon keeps this up, we'll have the entire class. I see that Dragon is coming out with a 1/700 Pennsylvania. Any word if it's after the refit? Kenny

Not yet, mate....waiting patiently, though.....

It's the 1944, post-refit version.

Man, I should have taken the bet! :-) :-)

Paint "Pikes Peak or Bust" on you car and come on out. I'll pay up and treat you to some Rocky Mountain Oysters. Or if I make it out to your neck of the woods you can treat me to some "mud bugs." Without the heads please. Seriously while I don't doubt Martin this is one I'm going to have to see to believe. If Dragon really does come out with a 1944 version my already high opinion of them will go up quite a few notches. Every other company would just re box the Arizona.

Definitely a 1944 version...
