Kit Reviews: Draco from Dragonheart, Revell/Monogram Pro Modeler series. Retail $35 Review By Paul Heaberlin
After
seeing R/M's Batman and Riddler kits and how much had gone into making
them good models as well as good figures, I was Really looking forward
to building Draco. When the opportunity hit, I jumped(okay, I got it for
free, sue me). Anyway, giving it the first look, I was happy to see that
much effort had gone into making it accurate. The white-metal Bowen figure
does'nt look too unlike Dennis Quaid, and the dragon has a great likeness
to it's computer generated namesake. Unfortunately, that's where things
end. Draco suffers from some bad gaps. The worst being the 1/8" gap on
his back where the back piece does not meet the end of the body piece.
And the seams on the wings will need a bit of work. There is also a few
gaps on his head I'm not to thrilled about either. If you have built many
Vinyl kits, these are not hard to fix, a bit of A+B putty will do the trick,
but if you're new to the hobby, take it slow.All other content © 2000 CDB Publishing
