If you have questions about the Dragon Mustang Challenge , please ask them here and not in the entries thread.

Thanks!

Are any aftermarket items or scratchbuilding allowed, or do they have to be box stock?

Hi Tony!

I think we can accept Dragon kits that have been modified or "enhanced" with aftermarket items. But let's say 50% of the kit must be composed of Dragon parts. So conversions are allowed.

Jean-Luc

Excellent, thank you.

When I saw this, I immediately thought about building that Fw-190 D-9 I have in my stash.
But then it hit, me. My kit is the original Trimaster version. I presume that won't count as a dragon kit? (although it's been re-issued by it without some of the metal tubing and PE)

Hi Eetu!

Well, I anticipated that question! :-)

Let's say that every kit that was released by Dragon at a time or another is elligible. An "old" trimaster kit that has been reissued by Dragon, or a Revell reboxing is ok.
Frankly, if someone builds the Trimaster or Revell Me163 and says it's the Dragon kit, how could we make the difference?

But don't try to sneak a Tamiya Fw 190 into the competition!

Jean-Luc

P.S. do you think you will be able to build the Fw 190 D-9 in less than a month?

I think I could give it a try...
And if that fails, I can always take and post pics of my Fw-190A4.

A double sided coin for me this one.
Firstly,,I think its great for the site and the network that Dragon have decided to do this,
Secondly,,I wont have chance to build anything for the challenge
Good luck everyone and Im looking forward to seeing the photos!

That is a very generous offer from Dragon.
Now looking at my stash of 60+ kits, I have one Dragon kit, a German anti tank gun, now I'm sure i have a set of spare wings somewhere :-) :-) .
I shall see what i can pick up from Milton Keynes model show Sunday.

Jean-Luc, I didn't see anything about text in the submissions. Do you want facts and points about the build in the post or just the pics? I have already posted an entry but was wondering if multiple entries were allowed?
Thanks!

Hi hkshooter!

No text please, only the name of the kit and it's scale. In your case it should be:
1/32 scale P-51 D mustang

If we use the same rules we used for the "old" MOM contest, 3 different entries are allowed for each participant. So yes multiple entries (3 max.) are allowed.

Jean-Luc

Jean-Luc, I went back to edit my entry and add the kit name and scale but I don't see a way to edit. It is, indeed, the Dragon 1/32 P-51D Mustang.

Hi hkshooter!

Some time ago Staff Jim changed the way one can edit his own posts. Basically, if you could do it without restrictions in the past, now there is a limited time period for it. I'll ask Merlin to edit your entry and add the kit's name, since I don't have admin access to that forum category.

Jean-Luc

Thanks Jean-Luc!
