The end of an era...

[thierry laurent]

After 40 years Dragon models limited  company is closing its doors. If the company always stayed a very minor LSP actor with just three families of kits (P-51D, Me 109E and early Me 110) it really changed the landscape of AFV models. It looks most AFV molds will go to Zimi but for the rest... wait and see...

There is this new/subsequent brand up called DRAMi

Not strictly true. The company is shifting to the digital side of things.

 

"Dragon itself is not closing, but it is pivoting toward intellectual property, 3D technology, and digital assets".

Yup, the models will be marketed through a new company name Drami. Squadron has a pre-order for various old Dragon kits under the Drami name including a number of the various boxings of the 1/32 Bf110.

Ok. I must correct my initial post: Dragon is not disappearing as a company but it will not release models anymore. Alas, to me, the result looks very similar if they now simply work as a design office as the others already existing in China (T-rex jumping to my mind). We will see where "Drami" goes but it looks this may just be a way to sell remaining stocks before seeing the models under another company name as some shops cannot order kits anymore. Wait and see...
