Yes.  ;-)

Few pics because I haven't found the spare time to go back and take 
any new shots of the earlier releases. Most of the new (ie: reissued) 
ones now get photographed as they are released.

The old FW range was designed and originally made by CMD (as were the 
early FT ships). When Paul Copeland had to give up CMD due to ill 
health, we (GZG) bought both the FT and FW ranges outright. As most 
of the FW moulds were in pretty poor condition at that point, we have 
been gradually remoulding and reissuing them as time allowed ever 
since, at the same time re-coding them as DF code items ("D" for 
Dirtside, "F" for Future Wars) to integrate them into the Dirtside 
product identity (aaahhgg, marketing buzzwords....)  ;-).

All the DSM code items, on the other hand, were sculpted specifically 
for GZG from the start - most are 6mm versions of our 25mm resins.

So, in a nutshell, GZG now own and make both the DSM and DF ranges, 
and we consider them complementary ranges that can be mixed and 
matched as you wish.
