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.......

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.

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. :)
