Yes they are. Should see it before the fall. Also heard nice things about the DML M48A3, NOT the "Mod B" which was short the mantlet cover and other items common to the M48. Revell's original release date A2G2 is September.
Start practicing on something you don't care about. I bought a Smer 1/48 G55, assembled it in about 20 minutes. Since then I have drilled holes, practiced air brushing technics and anything else I wasn't to sure about before applying it to a $100 kit.
Friend of mine sent me this photo from Sand Hill at Ft. Benninng. I would like to think another company is getting ready to release their own M103 kit after Dragon fell on their face with their "Black Label" release.
Can't speak for your camera. Try playing around with your shutter speed. Flash on, flash off. Try 100ISO at 2 seconds and so on. Have your camera hooked up to your computer while your taking pictures so you can immediately see your results.
