Plastic kits from Hong Kong. The very first kits came with a die-cast hull and vinyl tyres, later ones are completely out of plastic with "DS" (Dragon Styrene) tracks. If nothing is mentioned in the "Comments" box, then the kit is plastic with DS tracks.
Apparently some kits were modified during their production run, replacing vinyl with DS tracks and possibly die-cast with plastic hulls. If you have more info, you are welcome to let us know.

If you build the kit OOTB, you will get misaligned drive sprocket teeth. The left and right halves of the drive sprocket (on any given side of the tank) will not line up.

When you mount the tracks, you will notice that the rubber band track is twisted from one set of teeth from half of the sprocket pushing the tracks outwards due to the misalignment. - Y.C. Wang

First releases had the old vinyl tracks; later releases unsure.

7284 StuH 42 early Howitzer variant of StuG III. The same comments hold as for kit 7283, of which all the parts are also included. This means you can build this kit as a StuG or StuH and with different types of front armor, which in my opinion makes this the better choice between the two kits (apart from the decals.)
Parts A24 & A25 are marked not for use, but the manual uses them nevertheless. You only get two marking options, both of unidentified units, esp in Germany (1945) and the Ardennes (1944) - R. Haelterman

This Jeep set appear to be 1/76 scale and not 1/72 scale as advertised. Measurements (in inches) of various parts found in the kit with my dial caliper follow:

  • Jeep wheel base = 80in = 1.1in in 1/72 scale
    Dragon Jeep = 1.05in = 1/76 scale (80/76)
  • Jeep wheel/tire diameter = 6.50x16 = 29in = 0.40in in 1/72 scale
    Dragon Jeep wheel/tire = 0.38in = 1/76 scale (29/76)
  • Bazooka length = 54.72in = 0.76in in 1/72 scale
    Dragon bazooka = 0.72in = 1/76 scale (54.72/76)

I assume that the Jeep released in combination with the Sherman (kit no. 7412) will be the same. So it looks like the 1/76 scale builders have an excellent Jeep to add to their collections while the new Heller/Airfix offering appears to still be the best dimensionally accurate Jeep in 1/72 scale. - Al Magnus
