Can anyone tell me/us which Dragon kits
- came with cast hulls, and which of these still come with them. (It's possible Dragon switched during production)
- came with traditional vinyl (i.e. non DS) tracks and which still do.
1. 7205, 7206, 7207 -The Original Panthers (Early G, Late G and F) These all came with Black tracks and still do.
2. 7231 "Porsche" Tiger II w/o zimm grey/green box these also had black tracks.
3. 7221 AAV-7A1 USMC Mogadishu 1993 black tracks
4. 7204 Sturmtiger also had - black tracks.
5. 7212 Jagdpanther Later Version - Black tracks
I do not believe that any of the above kits ever changed during their production run.

Bradleys with vinyl tracks
November 6 2009, 2:45 PM
FWIW the Bradleys that I have with vinyl tracks are 7226, 7229, and 7247 (the non-Pro ones).
Looking at all my Dragon models the division between DS and vinyl is largely Pro vs non-Pro. As mentioned earlier the division also comes at round about #7255-7260.
The only exceptions to the Pro/non-Pro divide that I have are the non-Pro Maus and E-100 (7255 and 7256) which have DS tracks, and the Pro series T-34 (7258), Leopard 2A4 (7249), and Elefant (7253). Of these the Leopard 2A4 has pre-painted tracks (as mentioned above), and the Elefant has link and length tracks as an alternative to vinyl.
