Just the other day I was talking with some friends and the
consensus option was that with the plethora of DML kits out
there, why don’t they offer upgrades for kits that they
already sold?
This is pretty much what cyber-hobby.com, DML’s “boutique” affiliate,
is doing. For example, here is another of their sets which
upgrades the OVM for a Tiger I. What they provide is a set
of relatively generic tools with all of their attachments in
etched brass. Ergo, if you have a Tamiya or Academy Tiger I
with stick-on tools you can easily upgrade them with this set
to separate fastenings.
Ditto offerings of DS Plastic tracks also on offer from cyber-hobby.com
and previously reviewed.
Overall this is a smart idea – if you long for a nicer
model but don’t want to shell out another $50 or even
$100, the upgrades are the way to go.
Thanks to Freddie Leung for the review sample.
