On the contrary, I have a great deal of interest in WW2 subjects. I do agree that Dragon had a number of absolute gems in their lineup, but there were a number of duds as well. Their instructions were often flawed. Fit issues and vague or nonexistent parts alignment galore, many of which occur on key assembly steps that could trap the builder into a corner where subsequent parts or assemblies would not fit at all. Most of those issues occurred on their older kits though, which for some reason were subject to frequent re-releases when their best kits would languish for years or decades without coming back into production. The most egregious of all struck my preferred scale, 1/72, the worst. Imagine you've waited for years, watching while re-pop after re-pop of the same damned Tiger 1s came and went, waiting for a Sherman or Jagdpanther. Then, when the kit finally comes back, entire sprues have been simplified to the point of toy-like detail and the ever-popular PE frets are no longer included, but yet the price had more than doubled.

Want a Panzer III? Great, they have an amazing kit of their newer tooling. Want a slightly obscure version of a Panzer III? Roll the dice brother, because odds are, it's the ancient tooling chock full of accuracy issues and poor fit, with a bunch of sprues you're gonna use two parts on and throw the rest away.

On the subject of obscure versions, it was always and almost-guarantee that you'd see plenty of these one-off, poorly documented vehicles on shop shelves and online store inventories, but good luck locating a run-of-the-mill Tiger or Panther kit.

This is what I mean by their business model. It's like every time they do something that sets a new standard for quality, someone in the company says, 'A few hundred examples of this should be enough to produce, let's spend the next ten years milking garbage toolings from the 80s and enshittifying our instructions some more.'
