In-box review of the Saladin by Cookie Sewell on HyperScale: LINK!

Verdict:
Quote from: Cookie Sewell
Overall this is a nicely done kit, but a few more details would have been appreciated for the price.

Can't help but wish this one would've been done by Hobby Boss or Trumpeter. Same level of detail at a better price.  >:D
Cheers,
Moritz

The Patriot system shown side-by-side with a Scud system would be a good "Friend & Foe" display. :)

Mod that Patriot trailer into a mobile cruise missile launcher along the lines of the BGM-109.  Guess I have to wait for a sale (DEEEEEEEEP discount) to pick one up.

Ummm, yeah OK.

Buuttt, the gun itself makes zero sense attached to a 'new' tractor.  :icon_fsm:

Brett Green has provided an in-the box kit review of the Home > Reviews > Modern > Dragon Black Label Kit No. 3554 - British Armoured Car Saladin Mk.2 and a quick build review of the same kit Home > Gallery > Modern > Dragon Black Label Kit No. 3554 - British Armoured Car Saladin Mk.2 at Missing-Lynx.

About time a new Saladin was offered in 1:35th scale.  I still have one of the very old and very toy like Tamiya Saladin kits that was intended to be motorized.  Hopefully DML/Dragon got this one right as it seems some of the other Black Label kits are coming up short of customer expectations.

I wonder if we will see a Centurion, Saracen, FV432, or even the later Chieftain and CRV(T) FOV?

I think they've started running out of different micro-variants of WW2 armour, so I'm guessing they're moving into the post-war-40's & 1950's now.

They'll start by putting out a range of basic hulls, then they'll run through every minor variant & experimental vehicle ever conceived untl they run out of them, after which they'll move on to the 60's & 70's, & repeat.

Scalemodels.ru also has a few pics of an assembled Conqueror. LINK!

The turret sides would lend themselves well to a Chieftain-style Stillbrew armor update.

Now you have me thinking.  Perhaps instead of being a supplement to the Centurion within the armoured regiments (mainly those in the BAOR wasn't it?), they were instead concentrated in independent tank brigades and as such built in much greater  numbers, with a number of major marks and rebuilds, greatly improving performance extending service life.  The independent tank brigades, logically, would be RTR, which could perhaps return to their pre-war structure of a single large regiment with multiple battalions, while the remaining armoured regiments could have evolved into medium, cavalry type, units and perhaps replaced their Cents with a co-developed Leopard, leaving the Chieftain to be developed specifically as a Conqueror replacement. 

Greater numbers in UK service means the type would be more likely to have been exported, i.e. Israel

Liking the idea of placing the T54E1 turret on the M60 hull for a quick and simple kit bash.

 Although of only passing interest to most, I gather that Dragon has released an M 103 in 1/72.

Hoping the Conqueror follows, not that I mind 1/35, its just 1/72 costs less and takes up less space while still looking good.

I'm really liking that T54E1! I can't find the link now but I saw that Dragon is also bringing out an M60 "slick" as well. I've always really liked both tanks and I'm looking forward to seeing them on the market.

Yay for the T54E1!  :icon_beer: Will have to have one of those!

Although of only passing interest to most, I gather that Dragon has released an M 103 in 1/72.


I think it might have generated more interest hadn't Dragon half-assed it again and made it both terribly detailed and hideously expensive.  :-X Here are some pics of the kit's contents: LINK!
Really hope some other manfuacturer is going to do a proper plastic kit of the M103.
