Are the two manufacturers related (aside being in the same country) in one way or another or should we understand that Dragon will produce the same models as diecast? |

Dragon Models USA sells model kits other than their own, including as well Aoshima (for example). |

A 1/48th Soyuz would be so cool!! Not sure if I have the space for a Tiangong and Shenzhou complex! |

Good to see these vehicles represented. I'm not familiar with the reputation for quality (either way) of Great Wall Hobby. Anyone? |

Great Wall's aircraft kits have been very well done. This review is typical of the praise they receive. |

Received the Tiangong-Shenzhou kit this week. An odd problem with Shenzhou. Both the OM and DM are molded in halves, as is to be expected. But in the 'bottom half' of the OM, the hatch is molded off-center, as are the parachute covers in the 'top half' of the DM. Strange why this happened and a challenge to correct... |

Inside details for Tiangong 1 will be scratch-built. Nothing in the kit. |
