DML is keeping a fast pace in Braille Front. Of course some of those are based on existing kits but nevertheless impressive. Personally I look forward to see how they have succeded with M4A2. I have it's big brother in works. DS tracks do not work that well with T-34/SU tracks but for Shermans they are ok. Niko

It has been a very nice year indeed for us Braille Scalers from Dragon. I just wish they would scale down and release their modern Russian armor models in 1/72 scale and scale down and release all of their modern figures in 1/72 scale. Charlie
