Product: 1:72 M3A2 ODS Bradley

After making an impressive combat appearance in the 1991 Gulf War, the M2A2 was further modified based on lessons learned. The resulting variant was known as the M2A2 ODS, standing for Operation Desert Storm. Main changes were a laser rangefinder, tactical navigation system, thermal imager for the driver, an MRE heater, missile countermeasure device and Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below system. A squad of seven infantrymen could be seated in the rear of the vehicle.

Dragon is now offering a fine 1/72 scale plastic model kit of this ODS version of the M2A2 Bradley. Brand new are soldiers’ backpacks that can be attached to the hull sides of the Bradley IFV, something commonly seen in combat zone photos. For convenience’s sake, the tracks are one-piece types. All in all, this is a well-engineered kit that assembles into a realistic-looking kit.

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

"Dragon’s Armor Pro series has a fantastic new 1/72 scale kit representing a mighty German Tiger I tank. This kit carries the title of Gruppe Fehrmann, and the plastic model represents Tigers from this rather interesting ad hoc unit that was formed towards the end of WWII. Indeed, at that time Germany was being squeezed from both east and west by the Soviets and Allies respectively, and Wehrmacht units were being disbanded and re-forged regularly. One such provisional unit formed in early 1945 was Gruppe Fehrmann, named after Oberleutnant Fehrmann who led a formation of six Tiger Is and five Panthers. These tanks bore an "F" prefix to denote their unit, and they were numbered from F01 to F13. This unit fought against the Allies in the area of the Ruhr Pocket on the Western Front and, in various engagements, the German tanks were knocked out or broke down one by one.

This new 1/72 scale kit allows modelers to produce a Tiger I specific to Gruppe Fehrmann. The Tigers of this unit had an eclectic mix of early and late features, such as an Early-Production turret mated to a Late-Production chassis/hull. To add detail, there are preformed metal exhaust covers and a selection of photo-etched parts. For modelers wishing to depict a more unusual subject from the desperate last days of WWII, this kit of a Gruppe Fehrmann Tiger I is the perfect solution!"

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: 1:6 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!

Dragon’s Armor Pro series has launched a trio of Stryker 8x8 plastic kits in 1/72 scale, and one of those members represents a US Army M1128 Mod. Stryker Mobile Gun System (MGS). The MGS is the most potent member of the Stryker family in terms of firepower, armed as it is with a 105mm M68A1E4 tank gun mounted in a low-profile turret. The gun operates with an autoloader, but it’s designed primarily for infantry support missions rather than true tank-versus-tank combat. Modernized MGS vehicles had an air-conditioning unit added, as well as extra armor panels. A typical Stryker brigade boasts about ten Mobile Gun Systems, and the US Army procured 142 vehicles in total.

Most notable on this stunning kit of the M1128 Mod. Stryker MGS is the accurately shaped turret containing the 105mm main gun, with slide molds widely used here. All components on the Stryker are sharply rendered. Multi-directional slide molds permit major assemblies such as the upper hull or lower hull to be of one piece. There are photo-etched parts too, such as the belly armor and armor panels on the rear of the hull. This M1128 Mobile Gun System of a US Army Stryker brigade is ready to unleash its firepower!

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!

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!

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!

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.

And the vehicle’s systems are now totally digitized, with improved fire control, target acquisition, navigation and situational awareness capabilities. Visually, the M2A3 is easily identifiable by its distinctive Commander’s Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV) mounted on the right side of the turret.

All the unique features of the M2A3 are present on this fine new model from Dragon (e.g. CITV, additional armor, GPS antenna, EPLR antenna), creating an extremely accurate replica of the original vehicle. A number of opening parts such as the rear ramp and "doghouse" door provide modelers with extra options. The model also incorporates items like convenient DS tracks and refined photo-etched components for the ERA mounting frames. The M2A3 Bradley is the USA’s premier IFV for the 21st century, and with Dragon’s new release, modelers will be ready for action in any theater of war whether in Iraq or elsewhere around the world!

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 M4A3E8"Easy Eight"KoreanWar(70thAn)

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.

Product: 1:72 Bundeswehr Leopard 2A6

The Panther and Tiger I were very important German tanks in WWII, and the country continued the cat theme with its post-war tank programs. First came the Leopard 1, followed by the Leopard 2 that was developed in the 1970s during the Cold War. The Leopard 2 was adopted by the Bundeswehr (German Army) in 1979. Two of the more recent variants are the Leopard 2A5 and 2A6, both distinguished by their angled arrow-shaped turret armor. Meanwhile, the main difference in the Leopard 2A6 is the addition of Rheinmetall’s longer-caliber L/55 120mm gun instead of the L/44 one. The Leopard has been successfully exported to numerous countries in Europe as well as much farther afield, but it remains the backbone of the Bundeswehr’s panzer force.

Dragon Armor Pro has another Leopard 2 model kit in 1/72 scale available too, this time featuring the even more modern Leopard 2A6. Indeed, it accurately depicts this specific tank version, and obvious on this model is the longer L/55 main gun barrel. Again, the spaced armor on the turret is particularly well done, with the associated bolt heads all sharply rendered. The kit assembles easily, creating an admirable scale model of the Leopard 2A6 that equips the modern-day Bundeswehr. So much so, that this kit will have model-makers purring with delight!

The Leopard 2A5 entered German Army service in 1995, and it looks much more streamlined compared to the vertical slab-sided turret found on the Leopard 2A4. The type’s first overseas deployment with the Bundeswehr was to Kosovo in 1999. The 1/72 scale kit of the Leopard is beautifully detailed, and the spaced add-on armor on the turret is worthy of special mention. Once painted up in the typical three-color NATO camouflage scheme, this model German Army tank will be ready for display or inclusion in a diorama.

Product: 1:72 M4A3 HVSS POA-CWS-H5 Flamethrower

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.

Product: 1:72 LCM(3)+M4A1 Sherman w/DeepWadingKit

The massively scaled amphibious landings of D-Day occurred on 6 June 1944. The enormous seaborne invasion involved the greatest armada ever assembled, including a staggering 6,939 Allied naval vessels! This total included 4,126 specialized landing ships/landing craft. One of the most common ways of getting troops and vehicles from ship to shore was the LCM(3) landing craft, also known as a "Higgins" boat. The flat-bottomed vessel with a bow ramp was capable of carrying a single M4 Sherman tank or 60 soldiers.


Dragon’s fantastic new 1/72 scale kit depicts just such a landing craft plus a highly accurate and fully detailed M4A1 tank kit. The Sherman tank has been readied for the invasion by having deep-water wading stacks added. All the components needed to create an impressive beach landing diorama are all provided in the box. Indeed, you can just about hear the tank clanking down the steel ramp of the landing craft and splashing into the surf! This comprehensive set brings D-Day to life.

Product: 1:72 Tiger I Early Pro.'131's.Pz.Abt.504

"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. Even in this small scale, every detail was checked and fine-tuned to match those on the original ‘131’. Now, in 1/72 scale, modelers can precisely and conveniently build one of the best-known tanks in the world!"

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

"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."

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!

One of the most impressive AFVs to participate in the Battle of the Bulge, Germany’s unexpected last roll of the die when it attacked through the Ardennes forest in WWII, was Kingtiger. Such tanks were accompanied by members of the 3rd Fallschirmjäger Division, elite paratroopers of the Luftwaffe, during the sudden massed attack launched on 16 December 1944. However, neither these battle-hardened troops nor the mighty Kingtiger tanks could turn the tide of the war, and the German counteroffensive petered out by 25 January 1945.

Dragon is releasing a very handy new 1/72 scale kit of a Kingtigerw with Henschel turret. What makes this release unique is the inclusion of EIGHT figures representing members of the 3rd Fallschirmjäger Division alongside the mighty tank. This means a diorama scene can be created straight from the box, with the figures riding on the rear engine deck of the Henschel-turreted tank. The paratroopers are well equipped and can be armed with various kinds of weapons. Meanwhile, Dragon has captured this mighty Kingtiger tank to perfection in the 1/72 scale model kit. In the past, these Fallschirmjäger figures could only be obtained by purchasing two separate sets, but now they come in one convenient kit.

The first six destroyers in Batch 1 were commissioned from 1975-79. Batch 2 added four more destroyers from 1980-83, while the final third batch was also a quartet of ships commissioned from 1982-85. Each batch featured slight modifications. The Type 42’s operational peak was during the Falklands War of 1982, where seven destroyers deployed to the South Atlantic to help recapture the islands from Argentina. However, two of them – first-of-class HMS Sheffield, and the fourth vessel HMS Coventry – were hit and sunk by an Exocet air-to-surface missile and an iron bomb respectively. Another destroyer, HMS Glasgow, was also disabled by an unexploded bomb that passed through the aft engine room.

Dragon’s latest 1/700 scale ship model represents the entire class of Royal Navy Type 42 destroyers. Indeed, it can be described as a 3-in-1 kit since either of the three production batches can be built. Ship modelers can examine each of the batch types in turn, and then build whichever one catches their fancy. Furthermore, a range of Cartograf decals allows model-makers to also select which vessel within the class they want to depict. In addition to the wonderfully well-engineered plastic parts, there’s an upgraded set of photo-etched components that elevate this kit to a whole new level of finesse. This 3-in-1 1/700 destroyer kit is superbly specified to give the modeler the widest range of options possible.

Product: 1:700 USS Buchanan DD-484 (Smart Kit)

Dragon has drawn together a trio of 1/700 scale plastic warships from WWII. In fact, they’re all destroyers, representing three warships of the US Navy (USN) that fought in the Pacific. When war engulfed the USA in December 1941, the USN had 100 modern destroyers. However, with greater dangers presented by submarines and aircraft, destroyers grew in size in order to accommodate better weapons and radars and to provide greater survivability throughout the war.

Each of these kits allows modelers to choose either of two ship options since the appropriate components and decals are all included in the box. They fought in the ferocious Pacific battles, some being lost in combat and others present for the surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay in 1945. Aircraft carriers might gain a lot of the limelight for their role in the Pacific War, but destroyers to escort them were critical assets too.

Product: 1:700 U.S.S. Saipan

A landing helicopter assault (LHA) ship is a type that possesses a well deck for landing craft/hovercraft and a flat-top flight deck for helicopters and V/STOL aircraft. One such LHA is the Tarawa class of the US Navy (USN). Five vessels were constructed between 1971 and 1980, though all are now retired. The class displaces around 40,000 tonnes and they measure 254m long. This was of sufficient size to accommodate either 19 CH-53 Sea Stallion or 26 CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters, or a mix of the two. Six AV-8B Harrier II jets could be carried as well. USS Tarawa (LHA-1) was the lead ship of the class, and USS Saipan (LHA-2) was the second to be commissioned, both named after bitter WWII battles in the Pacific campaign.

Dragon is releasing a small assortment of 1/700 scale plastic models that incorporates both these USN ships. These two models haven’t been available in miniature for quite a while, so it’s a timely release for fans of amphibious assault ships. In their day these were impressive ships, and these models are equally impressive in their level of detail and accuracy.

Dragon’s fantastic 1/35 scale Neo Smart Kit range is gathering momentum as it rides a wave of popularity. It’s therefore time to add another newcomer, this time is the final variant of the Panzer III family, the Ausf.N, one that’s operating in the hot climate of North Africa with the German Afrika Korps. Armed with a short-barreled, low-velocity 7.5cm KwK.37 L/24 gun, the Panzer III N was commonly issued to Tiger battalions. This is certainly the case with this Dragon kit, which shows a tank from s.Pz.Abt.501.

Product: 1:35 Sd.Kfz.253w/PanzerI Turret SmartKit

The Sd.Kfz.253, based on the Sd.Kfz.250 light halftrack family, was used by Germany as an observation vehicle for artillery forward observers. This Beobachtungswagen observation vehicle was fully enclosed rather than having the open-topped compartment found on the standard halftrack. A total of 285 Sd.Kfz.253s were manufactured by Demag and Wegman from 1940-41. Interestingly, a wartime photo exists of a very rare conversion performed on an Sd.Kfz.253, where a Panzer I turret was fitted onto the halftrack hull.

Logically, the kit makes use of parts from Dragon’s latest new-generation Sd.Kfz.250 items. These are the highest-quality model Sd.Kfz.250s available on the market. Likewise, the turret emanates from Dragon’s highly acclaimed Panzer I family. The vehicle also features a set of Magic Tracks to ease assembly for the modeler. This Sd.Kfz.253/Panzer I turret combo was extremely rare, but now modelers can add their very own miniature version to their model collections.

New releases keep on coming in Dragon’s 1/35 scale Neo Smart Kit range. The most recent subject is a StuG.III F/8 in its Early-Production variant. 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.

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.

Product: 1:35 Operation Marita, Greece 1941

Operation Marita. This is the name Germany gave its plan to invade Greece in April 1941. In fact, Germany stepped in after Italy’s failed invasion kicked off the preceding October. Greece had repelled that initial invasion and had even counterattacked by March 1941. Consequently, on 6 April, 680,000 German troops with 1,200 tanks and 700 aircraft launched their invasion of Greece from Bulgarian territory, bypassing the bulk of Greek troops near the Albanian border. The Metaxas defensive line was overrun, and small numbers of Australian, British and New Zealand troops could not stem the flow. By the end of the month, the Greek mainland was in German hands, and then German troops also landed on and captured Crete in May 1941. Of interest, next year will mark the 80th anniversary of Operation Marita, so Dragon has brought together a number of 1/35 scale figure sets that feature participants in that decisive campaign.
This Dragon assortment features no fewer than six 1/35 scale figure sets depicting the Greek invasion, a campaign that has not received the publicity or attention that it perhaps deserves. All the figure sets represent German troops, including paratroopers, mountain troops, combat engineers and elite infantrymen. These realistic-looking figure sets depict different units, various uniforms and a range of weapons, giving lots of flexibility for model-makers to create a diorama. Few eyewitnesses of that military campaign in Greece remain alive, but modelers can recreate it through this prized figure collection.
