Question about the Dragon Hornisse

The return rollers are marked as F1 on the instructions but are marked M1 on the sprue. So is the instruction wrong or have I got the wrong sprue in my kit?

The likely hood of another sprue number matching with the return rollers is far lest likely that a typo?
If it looks like a F1 & it feels like a F1...
Cheers Elliott
I guess the only thing it could mix up with is the Stug IV?

Nashorn tips

September 5 2005, 8:12 PM 

I'm building it now and I am nearly finished. The instructions are really bad in my opinion. Parts just appear on the kit without showing how to orientate them. Very fragile parts for the 88mm. The m.g. mounts broke when I tried to cut them. (using the Xron cutter)Do Not glue the ammo boxes to the superstructure sides. Glue the sides on first, then glue the ammo box down to the hull interior. I didn't try to use the brass for the exhaust vents. (14 P.E. parts total!) I haven't messed with the tracks. I'm leaving the rear return wheel off until last as it seems it maybe able to be glued in different positions which will influance the lenth of the tracks.

Kit Reviews

September 6 2005, 12:37 PM 

I don't want to name names, but most of the popular reviews we see are written by airplane guys or 1/35 scale guys. Some of these people haven't built a kit in a year or two and are riding on their poplarity as writers, not model builders. Two places to go are "On The Way" and this site. You can ask anybody here for their opinion, on or off this forum.

Well....

Other online reviews on Dragon kits have been less than helpful...Particularly in regard to track length, instructions, and other flawed parts...

brents very correct

September 6 2005, 11:00 AM 

read back through some of the threads and you'll see , not only have the reviews been bogus but some of the replys have been as well, in many ways the kit is great but as in the past dragon has designed by commitee and not well at that and when people give reviews that don't reflect reality they do no one any service
