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.

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.

"The Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel consisted of a 15cm sFH 18 L/30 howitzer mounted on a Panzer IV chassis. It 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. More than 700 vehicles were built by the end of WWII. An easy identifying feature of Hummel Late-Production variants is the straight glacis plate for the driver’s/radio operator’s compartment.

The Neo tracks are a super-convenient track solution that comes 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. For this kit, everything needed to produce an accurate Late-Production variant of this Hummel is included in the box, and 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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: 1:72 Fallschirmjäger /Kingtiger Henschel

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.

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 M4A2 Tarawa

A volute spring is a compression spring shaped in the form of a cone, and the result is greater stability and power under compression than what a leaf, coil or torsion bar spring cam provide. Indeed, American tanks of WWII mounted such volute springs in a road wheel bogie that contained two road wheels in a very compact unit. This is all known as the Vertical Volute Suspension System (VVSS), and it was used on the famous M3 Stuart, M3 Lee and M4 Sherman tanks of WWII vintage.

Dragon has now pulled together a small assortment of two 1/72 scale Armor Pro kits depicting Sherman tanks with the original VVSS. Their VVSS assemblies are rendered accurately in minute detail with multiple parts to ensure complete accuracy and faithfulness to the original suspension type. These small-scale Sherman kits are very well engineered, so modelers can be assured of an extremely smooth and bump-free assembly.

Product: 1:700 H.M.S. Type 42 Destroyer Batch 1-3

The Royal Navy built 14 separate guided-missile destroyers in its Type 42 class, and the type served from 1975 till 2013. Construction was actually separated into three batches. 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.

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.

Product: 1:35 Tiger I Early Pro Battle of Kharkov

"The Battle of Kharkov commenced just a month after the German 6th Army surrendered in Stalingrad, so it came at a pivotal time on the Eastern Front. Tiger I tanks were involved in the heavy fighting, and each tank had its own distinctive appearance due to slight variations in stowage bins, OVM positions, markings and paint schemes.

This specific kit allows a mighty Tiger I Early Production from either the elite Das Reich Division to be assembled, or alternatively a vehicle from the equally famous Großdeutschland Division. Both of these powerful units were engaged in the third Battle of Kharkov. Importantly, Tiger I expert David Byrden has provided technical assistance for development of this kit to ensure the utmost accuracy, including markings and suggested camouflage schemes drawn by himself. The kit makes use of tried-and-true parts from previous Tiger I releases, but there are brand new components too where appropriate. Furthermore, enclosed in the box is a generous selection of photo-etched parts for finer details such as engine mesh grills and brackets. These Tiger I Early-Production tanks are ready to foray into the Russian city of Kharkov to refight the battle of 1943 straight from the box!"

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.

Dragon has added another Panzer IV tank in 1/35 scale, thus expanding the number of variants in this important tank family. This latest scintillating kit depicts a Panzer IV Ausf.J Initial/Early-Production version of the German medium tank, which was produced in April-May 1944. In most respects, the Ausf.J was a retrograde from the preceding Ausf.H, this being a necessity imposed on Germany to simplify production as the war progressed and as industry came under greater pressure.

Like other members of the Panzer IV kit family, this latest 1/35 scale kit in Dragon’s popular series possesses the ultimate level of detail. Parts are smartly engineered and tooled. Characteristics changed from the Ausf.H to the Ausf.J are accurately rendered, such as the turret side hatches without pistol ports, spare track links on the right side of the hull, and mesh (recreated with photo etch) between the storage bin and turret skirt. Furthermore, the individual side skirts are made of metal to achieve scale thickness, or alternatively they’re supplied in plastic too. With this accurate 1/35 scale kit, Dragon has filled yet another niche in the Panzer IV family!
