Picked this up today for $25 at a flea market, new in the box, sealed.
How did I do?
Anyone have experience with this kit?

Does the kit come with the Dragon? Very cool if it does.
This is my favorite aircraft

I'll have to check

All of the decals are there, but no "Dragon".
Shark teeth yes.
If there is an alternative decal set to pursue, I have time before I get to this one.

I'm guessing " dragon " refers to the 30mm Gatling

Down Time · May 29, 2023

Well that's a given, but only as a unit mounted. As the build unfolds I'll have to see if there is an accessory hatch for it.

This is a tank, but with wings. Designed to open up tanks like a canopener.

The Dragon is the nickname for the equipment used to load the 30mm ammunition.
It is in one of the picture.
