Article number: 540006986 Product: 1:35 T-34 747(r) mit 8.8cm FlaK 36/37 The T-34 formed the backbone of the Red Army’s tank fleet during WWII, while the German 8.8cm cannon was one of the most lethal anti-tank weapons of the war. One can speculate – what would happen if you combined the two? Wonder no more, for Dragon’s newest 1/35 scale kit integrates a T-34 chassis with an 8.8cm FlaK 36/37 gun! No photographic confirmation exists of such a combination being put into service, yet it follows the widespread wartime practice of both utilizing captured tanks and mounting anti-tank guns or howitzers on self-propelled chassis. Therefore, one cannot totally rule out the possibility of such a creation having once existed. Or, at the very least, Dragon’s new kit can inspire the modeler’s imagination. This kit comes with Magic Tracks and an aluminum barrel for the cannon (there is even rifling inside the barrel), plus Dragon resorts to 3D printing for the gun mount. What a combination of engineering excellence this vehicle is, giving modelers something totally unique to put on display! Detailed Plastic Kit

1:35 T-34/76 STZ Mod.1941
540006448available in stores
Article number: 540006448 Product: 1:35 T-34/76 STZ Mod.1941 The T-34 has been described as the most important weapon to help Russia win the war in the East. One location that produced the T-34 was the Stalingrad Tractor Plant (STZ), which became famous for its role in the brutal Battle of Stalingrad. STZ used blueprints provided by Factory No. 183 in Kharkov to produce the T-34, but it modified them slightly to suit locally available components. Given that 2022 marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad, a decisive turning point in WWII, Dragon is releasing two new kits of the T-34/76 STZ Mod.1941 and Mod.1942 in 1/35 scale. Each kit is a 2-in-1 offering, meaning that slightly different configurations for each model year are possible. As to be expected, the models are simply bulging with detail. There are photo-etched parts to represent fine elements. A bonus alimunum gun barrel with rifling is also offered. The tank is shod in Magic Tracks that assemble quickly and easily. Eighty years on, with the restart of production, modelers are now able to assemble a Russian T-34/76 tank from the famous STZ factory! Detailed Plastic Kit

Article number: 510000286 Product: 1/35 TIGER I Ausf. E/H1 The model TIGER I Ausf. E/H1 in scale 1/35 has a length of about 241 mm. Decals for one version. The Tiger was certainly the most famous armored vehicle of World War II. Its fire power and protective armor made it the dominating factor on all battle fields during the years 1943-44. It did, however, present considerable problems, due to its complex mechanical construction.The Tiger crews were continuously engaged in maintenance work, which was aggravated through extreme conditions in the African desert and the Russian Plains.

1:35 Tiger I Early Production Wittmann's
540006990available in stores
Article number: 540006990 Product: 1:35 Tiger I Early Production Wittmann's This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Kursk, the largest armored battle the world has ever seen. Fought by attacking German units and Russian defenders arrayed in depth, the gargantuan battle involved nearly 3,000 German tanks and more than 5,000 Russian ones. Germany kicked off Operation Zitadelle in the late summer of 1943, on 5 July. With massive losses on both sides, it was the last strategic offensive that Germany was able to launch on the Eastern Front. Dragon has a series of new and re-released kits commemorating that major battle on the way, but one of the most remarkable is a new item of a 1/35 Tiger I. What is special about this phenomenal kit is that it represents the Tiger I Early variant used by the famous German tank ace Michael Wittman. At the time of the Kursk fighting, Wittmann was serving in 13./Panzer Regiment 1, and Tiger Is were among the most lethal tank of the battle. This new 1/35 scale release depicts a Tiger I Early-Production tank, and modelers can be assured of user-friendly assembly and enhanced detail. It is replete with Magic Tracks, plus an array of photo-etched components to give the necessary touch of class. Wittmann led his platoon at Prokhorovka with this tank, and by the time the battle was over, his crew had destroyed about 30 Russian tanks and 28 anti-tank guns. With this high-quality model, modelers can now recreate a scene from that massive armored clash at Kursk. Detailed Plastic Kit
