Product: 1:6 German Bicycle

Despite its much-vaunted and powerful panzer divisions, the German military was far from being fully mechanized at any point during WWII. Indeed, many German infantrymen had to rely on their own feet, on horses or, if they were lucky, on the humble pushbike. Now Dragon is going to release a German military bicycle that was such a typical means of transport throughout the war in 1/6 scale. Indeed, such bikes are widely seen in wartime photos and movie clips.

This German bike is highly detailed, as demonstrated by the fineness of the spokes on the pair of wheels. Even the bicycle pump mounted on the frame is included. Furthermore, the handlebars can be turned and the pedals rotated to make the bike as lifelike as possible. This means the bicycle can be adjusted to provide that exact nuance that a modeler might be seeking for a stunning standalone desktop piece. This particular bike is fitted with a rear carrier rack to which various items of personal gear can be fitted too. This is the ultimate bicycle kit, where Dragon’s pedal power reigns supreme!

Product: 1:72 Chinese Volunteer T-34/85

The T-34 was the Soviet Union’s most important tank of WWII, yet it continued to soldier on in other conflicts around the world long after 1945. One such user was China. Some of these Russian-built tanks were used by the PLA in the Korean War, after China entered that conflict in October 1950.

Dragon has certainly produced T-34/85 tanks in 1/72 scale before, but this one has some new features appropriate to its use by the People’s Volunteer Army of China. Thus, newly tooled parts depict the front of the lower hull, which is not rounded but rather sharp-edged. Furthermore, different front fenders are portrayed by brand new photo-etched parts. Of course, the distinctive spoked wheels are also newly tooled. The 85mm gun barrel is slide molded as a single piece. This is an exciting new Dragon Armor Pro kit, one that gives a new twist to the famous T-34 tank family.

Product: 1:72 M6 Bradley Linebacker Air-Defense Vehicle

The M6 Bradley is an air-defense vehicle found in heavy armored divisions, and it mounts four FIM-92A Stinger missiles in the launcher unit on the left of the turret instead of the two TOW missiles in a regular Bradley. Operated by a crew of four, the Linebacker system employs a FAAD (Forward Area Air Defense) C3I suite that allows firing while stationary or on the move. Ten spare Stinger missiles are carried inside the vehicle. The 29.9-ton M6 still retains the standard turret armament of an M242 25mm Bushmaster cannon and 7.62mm M240C coaxial machine gun, but the easiest recognition feature remains the turret-mounted missile launcher unit.

Dragon is in process of renewing 1/72 scale kits of the Bradley items, and now the M6 Linebacker has joined the range! This M6 kit is of the type that has seen extensive service in Iraq in recent years. Dragon’s M6 shares most of the highly detailed components of previous Bradley kits, though with an unique launcher unit for the Stinger missiles. For modelers wanting to produce an Iraq diorama with a unique twist, or simply wish to complete the Bradley family tree, this Linebacker kit is a real prize!

Product: 1:72 IJA Type 2 "Ka-Mi" Amphibious Tank

Dragon is reproducing a pair of 1/72 scale Japanese tanks from WWII. The set includes a Japanese Type 2 "Ka-Mi" amphibious tank and a Type 97 Chi-Ha Late-Production medium tank. The former was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy, while the latter was operated by the Japanese army in WWII. Both types fought on Saipan in the Mariana Islands from June 15 to July 9, 1944. Capture of the island by US troops allowed American B-29 Superfortress bombers to directly target Japan from Saipan

The two 1/72 scale kits allow modelers to field tanks that were used in both tropical and temperate regions of Asia, as well as countering the Pacific island-hopping campaign of the USA and the Allies. Decals for both Japanese tank types fighting on Saipan are certainly among the options. Fully utilizing Dragon’s technological expertise, this brace of little tanks is a masterpiece of accurate kit engineering. They come with one-piece tracks, for instance, for easy assembly. Detail is delicately but realistically reproduced. Even though they might be small tanks in this scale, reflecting the fact that Japanese tanks were relatively small compared to those of other combatants in WWII, these are still extremely stunning little packages from Dragon Armor Pro Series!

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.223 Leichter Panzerspähwagen

Heavy tanks and armor often hog all the limelight, but smaller AFVs also make for very interesting subjects for modelers.
Such is certainly the case with Dragon's 1/72 Sd.Kfz.222 and Sd.Kfz.223 4x4 armored cars. These were successful leichte Panzerspahwagen ("light armored reconnaissance vehicles") employed by German forces in WWII.

Dragon has previously released splendid 1/72 scale kits of these diminutive German vehicles, and now they’re available again in tandem. Item No. 7393 depicting the Sd.Kfz.222 and Item No. 7420 representing the Sd.Kfz.223 may be small in stature, but they’re definitely big on detail and character. They even come with photo-etched parts for added detail. What’s more, each box contains two identical vehicles. It’s been a while since these Dragon kits were available, and now that modelers get double the impact with two complete kits per box, there will be no stopping these little treasures from racing off the shelves!

Product: 1:72 M3A2 ODS Bradley w/ERA

The M3 Cavalry version operates with a crew of three, plus two scouts. The Bradley IFV made its combat debut in 1991 in the Gulf War with very favorable results and an operational readiness rate of 90+%. The updated ODS (Operation Desert Storm) version of this United Defense vehicle incorporated such improvements as a laser rangefinder, GPS-based TacNav, new gun barrel, and a rearranged troop compartment. To provide further protection, an ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) kit consisting of 105 box-shaped tiles was designed by GDLS and Rafael, and these are fitted as standard in Iraq.

Each of the reactive tiles is fully represented to give the Bradley its unique look, and to allow modelers to create a vehicle serving in Iraq. It also offers the special armor added around the commander’s station to provide him with 360º protection. As per usual, this contemporary kit also includes a range of photo-etched parts offering heightened levels of detail. And also new-tooled backpacks are offered. This kit is a perfect travelling companion to the M2A2 released at the same time.

The Bradley, built by United Defense, is the well-established IFV of the USA. This competent 37-tonne vehicle has seen combat in Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, and today it continues to whisk U.S troops around Iraq. Such vehicles in Iraq are now typically fitted with a tiled ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) kit for added protection against the bombs and RPGs of Iraqi insurgents.


Dragon proudly introduces agaom such an ERA-equipped Bradley to the 1/72 series of model kits. The frontal, side and turret ERA is fully represented, and all necessary components to model different version are present. This popular modern subject is highly detailed, with photo-etched parts and numerous items that can be assembled in open or closed positions. Such is the case with the TOW launcher, which can be portrayed in either the launch or travel mode. For easy-assembly, new one-piece belt-type tracks are included. Moreover, new-tooled backpacks can be stowed on the vehicle. The relaunch of this fantastic Bradley kit marks a new "ERA" in the world of 1/72 scale models!

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.J Early Production

Dragon Armor Pro has yet another brand new Panzer IV tank in 1/72 scale available for modelers wishing to expand the number of variants in this important tank family. This kit depicts the Panzer IV Ausf.J Early-Production. About 3,160 Ausf.J units were produced from February 1944 through till April 1945. In most respects, the Ausf.J was a retrograde from the previously produced Ausf.H, a necessity imposed on Germany to simplify production as the war progressed. For example, there was no electric generator for the turret traverse, so the turret had to be rotated manually. Pistol and vision ports on the turret side hatches were removed too.

This latest 1/72 scale kit possesses the ultimate level of detail. For example, it has a newly tooled lower hull possessing different details on the bottom. It shows the correct identifying features of an Early-Production Ausf.J. Yet another small niche in the Panzer IV family has been filled with this new kit, and modelers can enjoy obtaining the whole range that reflects the history of the Panzer IV.

Product: 1:35 Chinese Volunteer DShK AA Team

The Korean War, fought from 25 June 1950 till 27 July 1953, is sometimes described as the Forgotten War. Coming soon after WWII had ended, it saw North Korea take on South Korea, which was supported by the USA and 21 members of the United Nations. Within two months of North Korea’s invasion, allied forces were on the point of defeat after having retreated within the Pusan Perimeter. A daring US amphibious assault at Incheon set North Korean forces back on their heels, and the battle henceforth seesawed back and forth. An armistice ended the conflict, which was one of the most destructive in modern times. Approximately 3 million fatalities occurred, of which most were civilians.

Dragon remembers this war with an assortment of 1/35 scale plastic kits and figures. This newest reproduction, timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Korean War’s commencement. Most of these items have not been available for some time, so this is a perfect opportunity for modelers to stock up.

Dragon has turned its attention to the 1/72 Warbirds range for its next 2-in-1 kit releases. First up is the Luftwaffe’s Heinkel He219, which was known as the Uhu (Eagle-Owl), an advanced German night-fighter that flew in the latter half of WWII. Either of two variants is possible: an He219A-0 or He219A-7. The former was initially a pre-production aircraft, but it ended up as the first main production variant. A total of 104 were built from 1943 through till the end of November 1944. The later He219A-7 model was the final production version of the Uhu. Typical armament on the A-7 was four 20mm MG151/20 cannons plus two 30mm MK 108 cannons. Production of 210 units of the A-7 was supposed to start in later 1944, but actual numbers finished are uncertain.

The capable radar-equipped He219 had an enviable reputation as a "Mosquito-killer", but production was never sufficient to have a significant impact on the air war. It has been some time since either of these 1/72 He219 has been available individually. But now Dragon has created a useful 2-in-1 box that allows modelers to flexibly choose later on which variant to build. All the necessary to parts to assemble the exact variant is included. Furthermore, the complex radar array of antennas on the nose is reproduced with the help of photo-etched parts. This accurate 2-1in-1 model set is ready to take to the air and to own the night!

Right now, the International Space Station (ISS) is orbiting the Earth 15.5 times a day at an altitude of 400km. ISS is used to conduct experiments in a variety of scientific disciplines. After the first components were launched in 1998 and the first inhabitants arrived in November 2000, the ISS has been continuously inhabited and it’s expected to keep going until 2030. It is also the right time for Dragon to release a newly tooled 1/400 scale model of the ISS!

This kit depicts the International Space Station as it was in 2007. It is built accurately in 1/400 scale and uses brand new toolings and photo-etched parts to show the maximum detail permissible in this scale. To ease display of the model ISS on a desktop, for example, and because it’s a complex and difficult shape to pose with all its modules, segments and solar-panel arrays, it comes with a convenient display stand. This is the first time Dragon has offered a scale model of the ISS, and what a centerpiece it will make in any space fan’s collection!

Product: 1:72 Saturn IB Rocket

In support of the Apollo program, the Saturn IB was employed five times beginning from 1966: to launch two uncrewed CSM suborbital flights, one unscrewed LM orbital flight, significantly the first crewed CSM orbital flight (known as Apollo 7) and one orbital mission without a payload. Subsequently, the 590-tonne Saturn IB was utilized another four times for missions such as ferrying crews to the Skylab space station. The Saturn IB’s final flight was in 1975.

Even in miniature 1/72 scale form, this kit of NASA’s important Saturn IB two-stage rocket is wonderfully large, as the completed model stands nearly 1 meter tall. This model kit has received brand new parts, including lower part of second stage and the complete first stage. All components are beautifully finished and finely engineered, ensuring an easy and accurate build of this American rocket of the 1960s-70s. This Saturn IB kit is delivered with a stable circular base to allow it to be freestanding on the floor or a desktop. Although this 1/72 kit of the Saturn IB is not quite as large as the previously released Saturn V, it’s equally impressive. Indeed, the arrival of this exciting kit will send modelers into orbit!

Product: 1:72 Apollo 13 CSM&LM (50th Anniversary)

One of the most famous spaceflight was Apollo 13, which was supposed to be NASA’s third crewed mission to land on the Moon. However, after the spacecraft was launched on 11 April 1970, any lunar landing had to be aborted after an oxygen tank accidentally exploded in the Service Module (SM). Rather than landing on the Moon, the spacecraft looped around it and the three-man crew returned safely to Earth on 17 April. With a shortage of oxygen for life support and propulsion systems, the controllers and crew were forced to improvise to get home safely, a saga that has been dramatized several times in movies. Now, approaching the 50th anniversary of the event, Dragon has released a special 1/72 scale kit of Apollo 13 to honor the courage of those involved.
Model-makers can make either SM in pristine condition as at launch, or the SM after it had been damaged by the explosion. The latter version has an external panel ripped off, and part of the interior is visible. With the 50th anniversary of Apollo 13 fast approaching, modelers can relive this dramatic episode in a unique way with a fine 1/72 scale kit.

The Cold War was marked by intense rivalry between the USA and USSR. However, there was one noticeable abnormality in the usually tense relations between the two superpowers, and that was a joint space mission conducted in July 1975. Known as the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP), it was the very first joint space flight between the competitors. The mission entailed an Apollo spacecraft docking with a Soyuz craft, thus allowing the crew commanders to shake hands in space on 17 July 1975. Crews were able to perform joint experiments and share gifts while they were linked in orbit for a period of 44 hours. This historic moment in space is worthwhile to produce again! The model is highly detailed, and it allows the two spacecraft to be depicted docked together as they orbit the Earth. The appearance of both Apollo 18 and Soyuz 19 are accurately depicted in miniature.

Product: 1:48 Apollo11"Luna Approach"CSM"Columbia

Apollo 11 will forever remain hallowed in history books since it was the mission that first put man on the Moon. Watched by millions of TV viewers, the historic Moon landing occurred on 20 July 1969 when the lander touched down on the southern Sea of Tranquility. The Lunar Module (LM), christened Eagle, spent 21.5 hours on the Moon’s surface, while the Command & Service Module (CSM), named Columbia orbited above.

As for Dragon’s 1/48 scale model, it features the Eagle LM still coupled to the Columbia CSM on its approach to the Moon. The spacecraft modules possess accurate detail, and this kit conveniently provides them both in a single box. Having the two modules connected like this makes for an impressive sight when they’re exhibited on their integral display stand. The set also features a newly tooled adapter to combine the two modules together. Furthermore, the kit makes for an interesting education lesson, allowing modelers to understand more about this milestone event. Dragon is here providing a 1/48 scale kit that will serve as a magnificent desktop display piece thanks to its outstanding size and uncompromising detail.

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Ausf.F

The famous German Panther tank of WWII saw many modifications in its relatively brief lifetime, and its final evolution was the Ausf. F. In terms of design, the variant featured a new Schmalturm ("narrow") turret – a turret that had increased armor protection, a narrower frontal profile, a stereoscopic rangefinder, and provision for infrared sight equipment. The turret mounted a 75mm KwK44/1 L/70 gun and a coaxial MG42.


Although Germany’s defeat in WWII prevented the Panther F from going into production, Dragon allows modelers to recreate what never was! This is an accurate rendition of a late-war German AFV design. As the Ausf. F was to be based exclusively on a chassis with steel-rimmed road wheels, this aspect is reflected in the kit. The turret has been completely retooled with the correct shape and profile. Using typically advanced molding technology, this is a unique kit of a novel tank. Extra convenience comes in the form of one-piece DS tracks too. Although it came too late to help Germany in WWII, this kit will be a lethal weapon in the hands of modelers!

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.L Late Prod. w/Neo

Dragon launches forth yet another 1/72 panzer in tremendous "Neo" collection. This time it’s a German Panzer III Ausf.L Late-Production. The Panzer III Ausf.L featured a longer and more powerful 5cm KwK.39 L/60 main gun, as well as thicker armor with an additional 20mm-deep layer on the turret and hull front. A total of 653 Ausf.L tanks were produced by German factories from June-December 1942. One user of the variant was the heavy tank battalion s.Pz.Abt.502, the very first unit to receive the Tiger I. The unit’s first taste of combat was in the Leningrad region from August 1942 onwards. This kit represents such a Panzer III L in that timeframe.

Dragon’s Neo kit shows a Panzer III L resplendent in superb levels of 1/72 scale detail. The most convenient aspect of this kit is the highly detailed and easily assembled Neo Track that includes both pre-molded lengths and individual links. Consequently, they’re easily manipulated to create a realistic sagging effect. This small-scale Panzer III Ausf.L kit is ready to join the siege of Leningrad with s.Pz.Abt.502, as Dragon has available a suitable Tiger I kit that would form the perfect accompaniment! Appropriate Cartograf decals are supplied for this unit. Not only that decals for other units are available.

Product: 1:72 StuG.III Ausf.B w/Neo Track

Dragon has been gradually rolling out a new series of 1/72 scale plastic kits featuring Neo tracks. The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG.III) family is the latest recipient of these convenient Neo tracks, with the StuG.III Ausf.B the newest beneficiary. Armed with a short-barreled 7.5cm StuK.37 gun of L/24 caliber, the 20.2-ton assault gun was widely used by Sturmartillerie batteries in campaigns such as the Balkans and in the invasion of Russia. A total of 320 Ausf.Bs were built by Alkett from June 1940 through till May 1941.

As already mentioned, Dragon’s 1/72 scale StuG.III series now includes Neo tracks that feature pre-molded lengths of tracks to make life easier for the modeler, as well as individual links that allow appropriate sagging effects. The rendering of battle damage can even be achieved. Furthermore, the plastic material on Neo tracks is the same as that used elsewhere on the injection-molded kit, to make painting and finishing easier. Furthermore, the road wheels, return rollers, idler wheels and sprockets are all individual parts. With the incorporation of Neo tracks, this StuG.III B has been elevated to a whole new level!

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.N DAK w/NeoTrack

The latest addition of 1/72 Neo Track series is a German Panzer III Ausf.N tank. The actual subject is one operating in the hot climate of North Africa. The Panzer III N appeared in August 1943, and they were commonly issued to Tiger battalions. This is certainly the case with this Dragon kit, which shows a tank from the s.Pz.Abt.501 heavy battalion. The second battalion ever to receive Tiger I tanks, s.Pz.Abt.501 fought in Tunisia from November 1942 till its surrender in May the following year.

Receiving Dragon’s exemplary Neo Track treatment, this new 1/72 item features pre-molded lengths of tracks to make life easier for the modeler, as well as individual links that allow appropriate sagging effects. The rendering of battle damage can be readily achieved too. Like its larger 1/35 scale sibling of a Panzer III Ausf.N, this kit utilizes careful research to perfectly capture the look of an s.Pz.Abt.501 vehicle. There are suitable extras such as a turret stowage bin. Decals with markings appropriate to an s.Pz.Abt.501 tank operating in North Africa are included. This excellent kit is ready for a sandy and dusty setting, and it would make a perfect companion for Dragon’s previously released North African Tiger I!

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel Early Prod. w/Neo

Hot on the heels – or tracks, as the case may be – of Dragon’s new 1/72 scale Nashorn with Neo tracks, comes another kit in this same scale that shares the same tracks. This time it’s the Hummel, a German self-propelled howitzer (SPH) created by installing a 15cm sFH 18 L/30 howitzer on a Panzer IV chassis. The Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel was produced from late 1942 onwards because of an urgent need for artillery that could keep pace with Germany’s panzers. Its combat debut occurred during the titanic Battle of Kursk.

With the Nashorn so recently receiving Neo tracks, it is logical that its close companion the Hummel should do so too. These tracks come with pre-assembled straight runs where applicable, and they can be realistically sagged and shaped by hand. Other parts come as individual links to allow them to perfectly conform to the shape of sprockets, etc. The engineering is top notch. The 15cm howitzer, which is fully seen inside the open-topped fighting compartment, is resplendent in rich detail, as is the rest of the interior. There are even photo-etched parts available to take detail to the next level. A welcome sight, this bumble bee comes right on the tail of a Neo track-shod rhinoceros!

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn w/NEO Track

Dragon has achieved a milestone by introducing NEO TRACK into 1/72 scale Armor Pro range for the very first time. The lucky recipient is an accurate rendition of the Nashorn. These track links offer the perfect balance between accuracy and assembly. They come with pre-assembled straight runs of tracks, for instance, while they can also be realistically sagged. Other parts come as individual links where appropriate to get them to conform to the shape of sprockets, etc.


The actual kit is based on a 1/72 scale Nashorn already released in the Armor Pro from Dragon. Of course, that means all details are accurately presented, including the highly detailed and visible 88mm long-barreled gun mounted atop the hull inside the open fighting compartment. In the kit box there is also a generous selection of photo-etched parts that allow modelers to upgrade the appearance of this powerful German tank destroyer. Thanks to the addition of these Neo tracks, this little rhinoceros has become even more attractive!

Product: 1:72 TigerI EarlyProd.Wittmann's Command

This stunning new 1/72 Tiger I kit depicts the exact vehicle that Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann, Germany’s highest-scoring tank ace of WWII, commanded within the Liebstandarte (LSSAH) Division in late 1943 and early 1944 on the Eastern Front. The famous tank was well photographed wearing a winter whitewash paint scheme at the time, and command tank ‘S04’ features 88 kill rings on the barrel of the KwK.36 gun. This was because, by the time he had been awarded the Knight’s Cross on 14 January 1944 and Oak Leaves on 30 January, he had destroyed 88 enemy tanks.

Dragon’s brand new kit appropriately portrays an Early-Production command variant of the Tiger I. Dragon had released a 1/72 scale kit of such a variant before, but it used older-generation parts. However, such a famous historical tank deserves the ultimate level of accuracy and highest quality, and that is what Dragon has done with this item. A huge amount of attention has been paid on getting all the details of this newly tooled command tank just right, and of course the Cartograf decal markings for the 88 kill marks on the gun barrel are included as well. These barrel rings illustrated the power of the Tiger I as well as the skill of tank ace Wittmann. Indeed, Dragon confidently asserts that this is the ultimate depiction of any Tiger I kit released in 1/72 scale to date.

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.232 Schwerer Pz.Spähwagen Fu

"The Sd.Kfz.232 accommodated extra radio equipment and a large frame antenna for longer-distance communication. It featured a hexagonal-shaped turret mounting a 2cm KwK 30 cannon plus one MG34 machine gun. Production of the Sd.Kfz.232 ceased in 1943 in favor of the newer Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma.

The large armored car is composed of many irregularly shaped and angled plates, so the kit obviously requires extremely precise tolerances when it fits together. Thanks to the use of CAD drawings and high-tech molding techniques, the kit's parts fit together flawlessly. The unique shape of this 8x8 armored vehicle is beautifully captured, and the distinctive antenna frame is finely rendered. The upper and lower hull sections are made as one-piece lements via slide molds. Dragon already has an enriched line-up of 1/72 scale Panzers kits available, so the inclusion of the Sd.Kfz.232 now gives these early-war panzers a valuable reconnaissance capability!"

The M4A3E8, often referred to as the "Easy Eight"featured improvements from the first generation of Shermans, including plus a longer 76mm gun, wider tracks that improved ground clearance and mobility. The M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" had a welded hull and was introduced into frontline units in December 1944 in WWII. And they fought alongside M26 Pershing and M46 Patton tanks in Korea. In fact, the reliable Sherman remained the most common American tank in the Korean War.

This 1/72 scale kit depicts a typical Sherman M4A3E8 fighting in the bitter Korean War. Thus, the HVSS is rendered accurately in minute detail with multiple parts to ensure accuracy. The T80 tracks are well rendered too, Perhaps the most eye-catching aspect to this kit is the set of the decals produced by Cartograf. These markings include bold and colorful teeth and eyes for the front of the tank hull, a design intended to instill fear in any enemy combatants they encountered. With the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean War rapidly approaching, this is a fine kit for modelers to create a tank or a dioramic scene from that conflagration.

Dragon earlier announced an exciting 1/72 scale Panther Ausf.A (2 in 1) kit in Armor Pro series, and we are striking while the iron is hot with another fine example of a Panther, this time an Ausf.D. Despite being rushed into combat for the Battle of Kursk in 1943, the 44.8-ton Panther was widely recognized as being one of the best tank designs of the war with its powerful long-barreled 7.5cm gun, well-sloped armor and decent mobility.

The key feature of this 1/72 scale Panther Ausf.D from Armor Pro is that it’s a 2-in-1 plastic kit. Thus, in the kit box there are all the necessary parts to build either an Early Production or a Late Prodcution Panther type. No matter which subtype the model-maker plumps for, the utmost levels of detail are guaranteed. The special characteristics of both subtypes are fully rendered with distinctive parts. Just like its larger 1/35 brothers, this 1/72 scale 2-in-1 Panther Ausf.D is an absolutely up-to-date high-quality kit that exhibits a superior level of detail.

The Korean War broke out when North Korean troops and accompanying armor suddenly began rolling across the 38th Parallel on 25 June 1950. The M4 Sherman tank played an important part on the US side in the three-year conflict, specifically the M4A3E8 variant that is often referred to as the "Easy Eight".

Dragon is now offering a special 1/72 scale sub-variant of the M4A3E8 with HVSS. It is known as the POA-CWS-H5, a flamethrower version of the regular Sherman gun tank. Mounted in the turret was the original 105mm howitzer, with a coaxial flamethrower gun added alongside it. The flamethrower gun barrel is made of metal.

It's one of the 70th anniversary kits that we are releasing. The Korean War does not often get the publicity it deserves or fully attract the attention of modelers, but this fine 1/72 scale kit allows a dramatic scene from the Korean Peninsula to be conveniently created by modelers.

"The Tiger I sporting the number ‘131’ on its turret is a rather famous tank, especially since it is the only working Tiger I in the world. ‘131’ is housed at the Tank Museum in Bovington, UK, with this Early-Production Tiger I captured in Tunisia on 21 April 1943 after being knocked out by Churchill tanks during the Battle of Longstop Hill. This tank with chassis number 250112 had been shipped by Germany to North Africa in March/April 1943, where it served with the 3rd Platoon, 1st Company of the 504th Schwere Heeres Panzer Abteilung (s.Pz.Abt.504). ‘131’ gained even further fame when it was used in the 2014 movie Fury. Dragon has already released a 1/35 scale kit of ‘131’ (Item No. 6820), but now it is excited to announce a 1/72 rendition of this famed Tiger I.

Modelers can be assured of extreme accuracy in this faithful rendering of the original. The kit features new special parts such as the upper hull, Feifel air filters and brackets for S-mine launchers (Minenabwurfvorrichtung) on the rear of the hull.

"This Dragon Armor Pro 1/72 scale kit depicting a Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.J Mid-Production tank possesses the ultimate level of detail. Furthermore, it’s the first time for Dragon fans to get their hands on an Ausf.J kit in this scale. In most respects, the Ausf.J was a retrograde from the previously produced Ausf.H, a necessity imposed on Germany to simplify and speed up production as the war progressed. For example, there was no electric generator for the turret traverse, so the turret had to be rotated manually.

Thus, it possesses a number of brand new parts to enable accurate rendering of this type. For example, the turret, lower hull and flame-suppressing exhaust mufflers are all newly tooled. All details are crisply molded, including the armor skirts for the turret and hull. The number of parts to assemble has been reduced to a minimum too, so modelers will be able to enjoy construction of this Panzer IV Ausf.J more than ever.
The artwork on the box top is absolutely stunning too. Now, small-scale modelers can at last accurately recreate a German Pz.Kpfw.IV from the late-war period."

The StuG III Ausf.F was fitted with a longer-barreled 7.5cm gun. This marked its first true emergence as a tank destroyer rather than as a mere infantry support vehicle. Whereas the first Ausf.F vehicles featured a 7.5cm StuK 40 L/43 gun, a more potent L/48 gun was also introduced on a chassis similar to that of the Panzer III. Ausf.J and L. These new tank destroyers were called the F/8, since it was the eighth version of the StuG.III. Some 334 of these F/8s were produced from September-December 1942.

This fantastic 1/35 scale kit builds on the highest-quality parts already available in Dragon’s StuG.III kit series. Naturally, a prominent feature of Dragon’s Neo range is the remarkable Neo Smart Tracks, which include pre-molded lengths of track to make life much easier for the modeler, as well as individual links that allow appropriate sagging effects. For these first-edition kits, each vehicle features bonus interior parts such as the transmission and fighting compartment, which makes them especially attractive. This is a splendid Neo kit, and with the StuG.III F/8 Early-Production vehicle used on all different frontlines, including the titanic Battle of Kursk, modelers have almost infinite creative options available to them!

Product: 1:35 StuG.III Ausf.G Early Prod.Kurks'43

Dragon is releasing its fourth item in its Neo Smart Kit range in the ever-popular 1/35 scale. The subject is a StuG.III Ausf.G (Sd.Kfz.142), of which 7,720 were produced from December 1942 through till April 1945. Early-production variants of this tank destroyer were used in the gigantic Battle of Kursk in July-August 1943.

Product: 1:35 Sd.Kfz.250/3 "Greif"

The best-known Sd.Kfz.250/3 of all was one used by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, during operations in North Africa. He christened his particular vehicle "Greif", which translates as griffin. In actual fact, "Greif" featured an Sd.Kfz.250/Z Panzeraufbau armored superstructure that had unique characteristics such as a vision port in the rear door and a different overhanging shape at the rear. This latest Dragon kit now provides these exact components to build the Desert Fox’s halftrack mount. Furthermore, as it’s a 2-in-1 kit, modelers can choose to build a regular Sd.Kfz.250/3 command halftrack as well. The kit is based on Dragon’s most up-graded Sd.Kfz.250 Smart Kit version, but now modelers can build an Sd.Kfz.250/3 to the very latest contemporary standards, as well as "Greif" for desert operations.

Not only do you get the Ba 349 Natter, this kit also includes the launch tower!! This is the 1st launch tower by Dragon in high quality 1/48 scale. This complex, yet delicately produced structure, is the perfect complement to the Natter. Its overall height of around 420mm is most impressive, and it employs both plastic and photo-etched parts.


About the Ba 349:
The Bachem Natter illustrated the desperation that Germany had descended into late in WWII. This small lightweight expendable interceptor was launched vertically with the assistance of its main HWK 509A-2 rocket engine, and four SR 34 rockets providing additional thrust for takeoff. After firing on enemy aircraft (for example, Allied bombers) with its air-to-air rockets or missiles, the pilot and aircraft would part company and descend separately by parachute. This "manned missile" was designated Ba 349, and its codename was Natter (Viper). This novel aircraft was of wooden construction.

Dragon’s highly detailed 1/144 scale model kit of the B-1B Lancer mimics the shape of the real aircraft. Furthermore, its wings can be swept backwards or forwards according to the modeler’s wishes. The sleek fuselage is accurately reproduced too. This upgraded model includes new additions such as the AN/AAQ-33 Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod as well. In order to model a bomber engaged in combat in such places as Kosovo, Iraq or Afghanistan, a full bomb load is included. Thus, GBU-31 JDAM munitions are available to fill the bomb bay (which can be shown open or closed) of this delightfully detailed scale model. Given a new lease of life after being discontinued for so long, modelers will definitely want to pick this Bone!

Certainly it was the most widely produced tank of the war, and as can be expected, a number of variants appeared during its lifetime. The most important improvement on Mod.1941 was the longer-barrelled F-34 76.2mm gun. Many components were put under scrutiny for mass production, like the gun mount, the welded turret with a new, single, wide hatch, and many other parts. Now Dragon is going to re-launch this T-34/76 Mod.1941 in new 1/72 Armor Pro series.

Development of this British AFV commenced in 1943 and it was introduced in 1945, too late to see combat in WWII. However, it remained in production until the 1960s and remained in frontline service right through till the 1980s. Its combat debut was in the Korean War and a total of 4,423 Centurions were produced in 13 marks until eventually replaced by the Chieftain. The 45.5-ton Centurion Mk 1 was the original variant of this tank. Its sloped front glacis had 76mm of armor while the turret had 152mm-thick armor. It was armed with a proven QF 17pdr Mk 3 gun and a coaxial 20mm Polsten cannon as a secondary armament. Given that this is the first Centurion variant in Dragon's 1/72 range, this kit of the Tank Medium A45, Centurion Mark 1 is obviously a brand new tooling. Detail is beautifully rendered and no corners are cut in reproducing this important British postwar tank. The 17pdr gun and 20mm Polsten cannon are well represented mounted in the turret.

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D

Dragon has a brand new Panzer IV Ausf.D tank in 1/72 scale available for modelers wishing to expand their number of variants in this family. The Ausf.D was produced from October 1939 through to May 1941, with just 229 units manufactured in total. This type reintroduced a hull machine gun and it used an external mantlet (instead of an internal one). Armor protection was also improved, with 20mm armor now used on the sides. The tank retained the previously used short-barreled and low-velocity 7.5cm KwK.37 L/24 gun as its main armament.

Dragon has previously released 1/72 scale plastic kits of the Panzer IV family, but this is the very first of the Ausf.D. Thus, it’s a 100% newly tooled kit. By judiciously combining smart engineering and slide-mold technology, the number of parts to assemble has been reduced to a minimum. For example, the road wheels and track run are made as one piece. Indeed, these parts only need to be plugged into the hull suspension units and glued and, hey presto, they’re finished! This is a completely new idea from Dragon to ease assembly in every possible way without sacrificing one iota of detail. Indeed, modelers will be able to enjoy their craft more than ever without wasting time on repetitive tasks. The Panzer Ausf.D was an early member of the family, but Dragon has applied the latest technology to it!

Product: 1:72 PZ.KPFW.III Ausf. N w/Schürzen Ten

Considering the fact that the Panzer III was a product of the 1930s, this German medium tank did well to serve so long in WWII. It was obviously supplanted by the Panzer IV and later the Panther in the tank-versus-tank role, but it did find a niche in the infantry support role. This is most clearly expressed in the final Pz.Kpfw.III variant to enter service – the Ausf.N, of which 700 were manufactured or converted. The Panzer III N entered service in June 1942 and production continued until August 1943. Key characteristics of the Ausf.N were its basis on the Ausf.J or M chassis, and the fitting of a short-barreled 7.5cm KwK37 L/24 gun. Ironically, this was the weapon fitted to older Panzer IV A-F1 tanks. Thus equipped, the Panzer III N was used in the close-support role in Tiger battalions or Panzergrenadier divisions.

Dragon’s Armor Pro series is releasing its second 1/72 scale kit of the Panzer III Ausf.N. The first item to be available (No.7386) was a vehicle serving with the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) in North Africa, and since this new kit is based upon that successful release, it can be expected to assemble easily and accurately. Amongst the many features of this latest kit is a full set of turret and hull Schürzen – 5mm-thick armored skirts that were fitted to original vehicles from March 1943 onwards to protect against enemy anti-tank weapons. On this kit, the hull and turret Schürzen and associated support brackets involve brand new toolings. This is an exciting new 1/72 kit of an important Panzer III variant – an ideal vehicle to accompany a Tiger tank into battle!

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.L Late Production

The Panzer III was a medium-class tank that at the outbreak of WWII was designed to be the primary platform of the all-conquering panzer divisions. However, with the advent of more heavily armored and up-gunned enemy tanks, the role of the Panzer III became secondary to that of the Panzer IV and production finally ceased in 1943. One of the later models to be produced was the Panzer III Ausf.L, which featured a longer and more powerful 5cm KwK 39 L/60 main gun. It also boasted thicker armor, with an additional 20mm-thick layer on the turret and hull front. A total of 653 Ausf.L tanks were produced in 1942 by German factories.

This new kit specifically offers modelers the chance to build a Late-Production variant of the Panzer III Ausf.L. It includes new toolings, like the long-barreled cannon. It also draws upon the technical and technological pedigree of the larger 1/35 Smart Kit, including full detail and convenient assembly. The upper hull is slide molded as a single piece, as is the accurate lower hull, both elements containing crisp detail. The turret is made from a multi-directional slide mold, and hatches can be shown open or closed depending on the builder’s preference. Where appropriate, photo-etched pieces such as mesh for the deflector grill are also offered.

Product: 1/72 WWII Ger.Truck Krupp Protze w/PaK

Dragon has come up with a fantastic new German soft-skin vehicle! Appearing in 1/72 scale for the first time from Dragon comes a Kfz.70 Personnel Carrier. This popular truck design served throughout WWII after mass production commenced in 1933. A total of about 7,000 trucks were produced up till 1942. This 6x4 vehicle was powered by an air-cooled 3.308-liter flat-four engine. The horizontal engine gave rise to the truck’s distinctive sharply sloped nose, and also to its nickname "Boxer". The truck was used for all kinds of purposes, and was commonly employed for towing light artillery such as the 3.7cm Pak 35/36 antitank cannon.

Everything is newly tooled on this delightful truck model. The parts separation on Dragon’s Kfz.70 is smartly done, allowing full detail to be reproduced both above and below the chassis. The wheels and independent coil spring suspension are masterfully represented. The raking hood is produced in one piece with the front fenders to simplify construction and to increase accurate assembly. The front windshield is made from transparent plastic to allow more realism. To make the model even more appealing and valuable, the kit comes with a 3.7cm PaK 36/37 antitank cannon. Modelers can thus portray the truck towing this gun, even though it remains a Kfz.70 version. This 6x4 truck was a workhorse of the German military during WWII, and Dragon has come up with an equally robust and versatile model to populate dioramas or to cart German soldiers around the battlefield!

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.E Sd.Kfz.181 TigerI

Dragon’s famous 1/35 scale Tiger I Initial Production, Item No. 6252, was a landmark kit. At the time of its release, it represented a huge leap forward in the quality and comprehensiveness of plastic model kits. Indeed, this Tiger I set a milestone that all high-quality AFV models still aspire to. The kit portrayed a tank from s.Pz.Abt.502, a unit that was formed in August 1942 and immediately dispatched to the front near Leningrad. It was the first Tiger I unit to enter combat, and it bravely soldiered on in the Eastern Front until the end of the war.

To the delight of modelers, this remarkable and much sought after 1/35 scale kit has now been downsized to 1/72 in the form of Item No. 7370. Fortunately, none of the detail of its larger brother has been lost. The kit features the exact detail of vehicle #100 of s.Pz.Abt.502, the "Mammoth" tank unit. This particular Initial Production tank fought on the Leningrad Front before being captured by the Soviets. At the time, this remarkable war trophy was widely photographed by its gleeful captors. Dragon’s new kit in this smaller scale is remarkably detailed and widely uses slide-molded components to deliver the level of detail required. The Tiger I is a legendary tank, and tank #100 is a legend in its own right. Thus modelers receive two legends in a single kit!

The improved lethality of the long-barreled 7.5cm KwK40 gun of the Pz.IV Ausf.F2 and Ausf.G was greatly welcomed by German tankers during WWII. The Panzer IV G was supposed to be the first tank installed with the 7.5cm KwK40 L/43 gun in 1942. However, the Wehrmacht needed to urgently counteract the thicker armor of Russian T-34 and KV-1 tanks, so this gun was also fitted to some Ausf.F tanks (where it was known as the F2). A total of 175 F2 tanks were produced from March to July 1942 (with a further 25 converted from F1), while 1687 Ausf.G tanks were manufactured.

Dragon has already released a beautifully crafted 1/35 scale kit of such a Panzer IV Ausf.F2(G), and now it has been reproduced in 1/72 scale. Although the model itself might have been scaled down, there is no corresponding diminution in detail! It builds upon the intensive research and engineering done by the expert design team for the 1/35 kit. This new release has extremely well-detailed parts thanks to the clever employment of slide molds. The gun barrel is slide molded along with the muzzle brake and both fenders are brand new. Accurate markings for tanks operating in diverse theaters such as the Eastern Front, France and Tunisia are supplied in the form of decals created by Cartograf. Impressively easy to assemble thanks to clever mold design, and full of detail, this Panzer IV Ausf.F2(G) is destined to follow in the tracks of its 1/35 scale brother and thus enjoy instant popularity!

Poduct: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.251/22 Ausf. D m. 7.5cm PaK

Dragon has released a fair number of Sd.Kfz. 251 halftracks in its 1/72 scale range. However, among the ranks there has never been an Sd.Kfz.251/22 variant up till now. This particular halftrack version mounted a 7.5cm PaK 40 L/46 antitank gun, and it was the last major variant to be built in this famous halftrack family. As Germany desperately sought weapons to counter the onslaught of Russian and Allied tanks, one expedient was to mount this potent antitank cannon on Ausf.D halftracks, with conversions beginning in December 1944.


Dragon’s new 1/72 kit is based on the existing high-quality Sd.Kfz.251 chassis, with all the necessary alterations enabling it to mount the 7.5cm cannon.

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf. F1

"Dragon has now released well over 100 models in its popular 1/72 scale AFV series. As if this wasn’t a milestone enough, Dragon is now pleased to announce a groundbreaking release. For the first time ever, Dragon has created a 1/72 scale Panzer IV tank! Building upon Dragon’s extensive experience and expertise in 1/35 scale Panzer IV kits, the first release is a Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F1.

The Panzer IV (Sd.Kfz.161) formed the mainstay of German panzer divisions, and it holds the distinction of being the only German tank to remain in production throughout the course of WWII. This tank, numerically the most common with 8500 produced, underwent a series of improvements to improve its armament and armor protection. The Ausf. F1 was manufactured from April 1941 to March 1942. Armed with a short-barreled 75mm KwK37 L/24 gun, a total of more than 450 were produced, although a number were later converted to F2 status. Other unique distinguishing features were a new turret design (with thicker armor, and two-piece side doors), plus new drive sprockets and idler wheels to accommodate wider 400mm tracks.


Dragon’s new model accurately reflects all these key personality traits, and indeed, the model is completely new except for the road wheels! It has benefited tremendously from technical know-how and research conducted in creating its 1/35 scale brothers. Dragon is thus justifiably proud of this new Panzer IV kit, which is undoubtedly the best available on the market in terms of accuracy, detail and proportions. For those small-scale modelers interested in early Panzers, this kit will be an instant hit!

Product: 1:72 StuG.III Ausf.F

The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG.III) has the distinction of being Germany’s most widely produced AFV of WWII, with 10,619 eventually manufactured. Based on the chassis of the Panzer III, it was cheaper and faster to build since it did not have a rotating turret. Once German troops began encountering heavily armored Russian tanks, the StuG III Ausf.F was fitted with a longer 7.5cm gun. This marked the StuG.III’s first true emergence as a tank destroyer rather than as an infantry support vehicle, with 359 vehicles of this variant produced from March- September 1942. Most Ausf.Fs were armed with a 7.5cm StuK 40 L/43 gun, but the final 31 examples featured
a longer and more potent L/48 gun.


Dragon is proud to offer a new 1/72 scale kit of just such a StuG.III Ausf.F. It features completely new parts (except the lower hull), including the upper hull, fighting compartment superstructure, engine deck, sprocket/idler wheels and others. Moreover, for modeling convenience, the new road wheels and track run are made as one piece. With Dragon having already issued a StuG.III Ausf.G kit in this scale, it’s now time for the preceding mark to receive the same high-quality treatment within the company’s 1/72 set of armored vehicles.

Cyber-Hobby is releasing another ship kit, this time of USS New York (LPD-21), the fifth San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock vessel to be built. The highly detailed kit is made in 1/700 scale. This kit’s being launched to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, as the original ship has a close connection to that tragic day ten years ago. USS New York was partially constructed from 6.8 tons of steel salvaged from the rubble of the World Trade Centre in New York, and it was specifically named in memory of victims of the September 11 attack. Constructed by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, this LPD can carry up to 700 Marines as well as LCAC hovercraft and MV-22B Osprey aircraft. USS New York was commissioned into the US Navy on November 7, 2009.

USS New York is a brand new tooling from Cyber-Hobby. The model comes with two hulls that allow either a waterline or full-hull version to be built. There is widespread use of slide-mold technology in the creation of this plastic ship, which results in a model that’s easy to assemble but yet one that doesn’t lack any essential detail. The hull is slide molded as a single component, and parts are cleverly separated to ensure maximum detail. The main superstructure, for example, is a single piece. An assortment of photo-etched parts includes items like the safety net around the landing deck. Cyber-Hobby also supplies helicopters, an LCAC hovercraft and even MV-22 Ospreys to populate the 1/700 scale replica. With a ship model that’s a breeze to assemble, USS New York is ready to take on terrorist or state enemies anywhere!

USS Longbeach (CGN 9) is a unique ship, principally because it was the only vessel in her class. And what US Navy class was she in? The Longbeach was a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser commissioned on September 9 1961. It also had the distinction of being the USA’s first all-new cruiser design since WWII, and since cruisers since then have generally been based simply on up-scaled destroyer hulls, her crew aptly described her as "The Only Real Cruiser." USS Longbeach had a pair of 5-inch 38-calibre guns mounted amidships, and at the time of her decommissioning in July 1994, the upgraded cruiser had two Standard Missile launchers, two Tomahawk

Product: 1:700 Guided Missile Destroyer (Premium)

About This Title:
Intended as a follow-on to the Forrest Sherman class destroyers the ship was originally designated as DD-952. Outwardly similar to the Sherman class, Charles F. Adams was the first U.S. Navy ship designed from the keel up to launch anti-aircraft missiles. To reflect the increased capabilities of the ship and to distinguish it from previous destroyer designs, Charles F. Adams was re-designated DDG-2 prior to the ship's launching.
