Bomber_County Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Wedding anniversary coming around again, the better half needs to buy me "something"...... So torn between Tamiya's Famo & trailer or Dragon Wagon........ Both are 10 years old but been wanting either for a while.......So any opinions welcome.......

Bill Cross Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I can't comment on the Dragon Wagon, but have started the Sd.Kfz.9 (DBA "FAMO"). The kit is very nice for its age, with good tracks. You likely will want to look at some AM PE, with Aber having a 2 vol. set that's quite exhaustive. You also should think about replacing the vinyl tires with resin ones. For the Sd.Ah. 116 trailer, that will be pricey but worth it. Be careful not to put the "wrong" cargo on it: the Germans used three Sd.Kfz.9s to pull a Tiger, so you would not want to put one of those beasts on the trailer. More appropriate would be a Pz. III or IV. HTH. Bomber_County, Rick Griewski and monthebiff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Dragon Wagon gets my vote!!!! Put a Panther on the back Bomber_County 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Love the Dragon Wagon. In fact, prefer the kit of just the M26 tractor without the trailer. The FAMO is just a big German halftrack that looks pretty much the same as other German halftracks, except scaled up.

LSP_K2 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'd go Dragon Wagon. After purchasing the Squadron walk around book, I've become a fan. Bomber_County 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I think it's going to have to to be the Dragon Wagon...........thanks guys LSP_K2, Bill Cross and Nick32 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick32 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Great choice. I've got one in the stash i'm going to start later in the year, its a big box and it's chock full! If it builds up as well as i think it will (and it will, it's Tamiya after all..) we are in for a treat. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
