In-box kit review of the Dragon Smart Kit 6458 Jagdpanther G1 Early Production.

Great review Adam! Always enjoy the "lineage" part of your reviews! Interesting note about the different exhausts for each variant. I didn't know that the two pipes on either side of the left hand exhaust were actually intakes. I will be sure to keep that in mind the next time a Panther crosses my bench! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

Throwing a spanner in the works Adam, plastic before the paperwork, you'll confuse people, they'll think that they've missed the start....as for the mega exhausts, now we where the boy racers got the idea....lol ....another tip top review! All the best, Jan

Did I do this one backwards? It was one of my earlier ones. Have the Zimmerit version of this now too. Such great kits.

Hello Adam. The 2 exhaust pipes are not intakes ! There are outtakes, especially for engine oil smoke, dust and something like that. Sorry for my bad english, I'am out of school since 1986 here in Germany. Greetings from Cologne. Markus

Another nice review. Where do you typically buy these Dragon kits from? I do not see them on Amazon. Thanks!!

[@AdamMann3D]

Shawn Streeter Thank you. I buy all my Dragon stuff from ebay. My local hobby store does sell them, but at nearly twice the cost I can get them for online. Websites like scalehobbyist also stock all of the current Dragon stuff, but at a price somewhere in between ebay and retail.

[@shawnstreeter236]

Adam Mann Thanks I will check it out. I have not bought anything off Ebay in years. I usually go the Amazon route but I cannot find a lot of these kits on there.

I just save a search for things like "Dragon 1/35" or kit numbers/vehicles I'm looking for. I check it before bed or whatever and pretty often you'll see a seller with something you want for a really good price. Mind the shipping though. I look for something about $25-35 with $8 shipping. Anything more than that and I won't bite. That's for standard smart kits like Panzer IV's and such. Tiger's may run a little higher. Just watch things for a while.
