About this kit: The Sherman was the mainstay of the Allied armored units, with over 40,000 produced from 1942 onwards. The ubiquitous Sherman was to be found in the ranks of every Allied army in World War II and on every front.

One of the most easily distinguishable variants was the M4A1, which utilized a cast hull rather than the welded hull of the others. Later, a 76mm gun was introduced to give the tank more lethality against heavily armored German opponents, but this required installation of a new turret big enough to carry the gun. When combined together – the M4A1 hull, 76mm gun and turret – the M4A1(76)W was conceived.

This kit includes many NEW details and showcases the M4A2 that was instrumental to the Marines that fought at Tarawa.

About the M4A2: The Medium Tank M4 was the main tank designed and built by the United States for allied forces in World War II, totaling roughly 50,000 tanks plus thousands more derivative vehicles under different model numbers with different abilities. In the United Kingdom lend-lease M4s were dubbed General Sherman after Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, continuing a practice of naming American tanks after famous Generals. The British name became popular in the US and the two names are often combined into M4 Sherman or shortened to Sherman. - M4A2 - Diesel-powered; welded hull; 75-mm and 76-mm guns.

Article number: 500776011 Product: 1/35 E-100 Heavy Tank "Nachtjäger"

First authorized in June 1943, the E-100 was a monstrous tank with a staggering weight of 140 tons. It was planned to mount a 12.8cm KwK44 L/55 main armament and a 7.5cm KwK44 L/36.5 gun in a modified Maus turret. However, a stop was put on development of super-heavy tanks in 1944, and this project was given a low priority. As a result, only one chassis prototype was assembled, though even this was not fully finished by the time WWII ended. The frontal armor on the E-100 ("E" stands for Entwicklungsfahrzeug) hull was 200mm thick, and that on the turret (if it had been eventually built) would have been 240mm thick.

The E-100 was never completed by Henschel, but Dragon has succeeded in finishing off the massive E-100 in 1/35 scale. In a magnificent "what if" item, this E-100 is made to exacting standards in Dragon’s 1/35 range of plastic kits. The model is made even more exclusive by the inclusion of infrared night vision equipment, meaning it is able to reign in the hours of darkness. With its huge bulk cloaked by darkness, this model is able to launch attacks or defend territory with equal ease! In daylight it’s no less impressive, with its enormous size and futuristic appearance. For such a cumbersome vehicle, close-in defense is provided by a set of four "nachtjagers" (night fighters). These German soldiers are just as effective at fighting at night, equipped with such cutting-edge weapons as MP44 assault rifles with the Vampir infrared scope and battery backpack, an MP44 with unique Krummlauf (curved leaf) curved barrel, and even a Gatling-type mini-gun. This kit offers unparalleled potential to modelers wishing to create a "futuristic" scene and vehicle, and to let their imaginations run wild!

Article number: 500775573 Product: 1:48 Focke-Wulf Tal 152C-1/R14

Features: - Detailed Ta152C fuselage w/accurate design - Wings accurately represent the real one - Intricate fuselage, engine and radiator cowling - Crystal-clear cockpit canopy can be assembled open/closed - Propeller can be rotated - Photo-etched parts to upgrade details - Highly detailed radiator cowling w/photo-etched parts and optional flaps - Air intake realistically produced - Tail w/fine detail - Torpedo authentically reproduced w/fine detail - Detailed landing gear can be assembled in extended or taxiing positions

Focke-Wulf aircraft of WWII were usually prefixed with the initials "Fw", with one of the best-known fighters from the German company being the Fw 190. However, in the case of the Ta 152, the prefix was changed to recognize the pivotal role played by chief designer Kurt Tank. Basically, the Ta 152 was a high-altitude fighter-interceptor derived from the Fw 190. The first production Ta 152H entered service in January 1945, although only 43 fighters were delivered to combat units before the war ended. The Ta 152C variant designed for slightly lower-altitude combat and for the ground attack role was armed with a 30mm MK 108 cannon and four 20mm MG 151/20 weapons.

Dragon’s newest 1/48 scale model depicts the proposed Ta 152C-1/R14 variant, which had the armaments previously mentioned as well as a torpedo stowed under the belly for attacking enemy shipping. However, Focke-Wulf assembly plants were overrun before the Ta 152C-1 began rolling off assembly lines so it never actually saw combat in the hands of the Luftwaffe. This plastic kit builds upon the success of the previously released Ta 152C-0, but it adds the formidable-looking torpedo. The cowling for the aircraft’s Daimler-Benz 12-cylinder DB 603LA has also been modified to provide the correct details. After enjoying Dragon’s famous build quality and engineering excellence, modelers can finish off their fighter with some

Article number: 500775566 Product: 1:48 Bf110E Nachtjager

The twin-engine Messerschmitt Bf110 heavy fighter served in the Luftwaffe throughout WWII, despite pilots bemoaning its lack of agility in the air. Later in the war, however, it found a niche when it was developed into a successful night fighter. Indeed, it served as the backbone of Germany’s Nachtjagdgeschwader, with the first nightfighting units operating as early as 1940. Bf110 aircraft had a sizable hand in claiming 2751 RAF bombers shot down in 1943 alone. In a single dramatic night in August/September 1943, night fighters destroyed no less than 123 RAF bombers. This shows the effectiveness of the Nachtjagdgeschwader, which seriously blunted Allied bomber raids over Germany. The Bf110E was designed primarily as a fighter bomber. The modelers can be assured of the best quality and highest level of detail, as is the norm in Dragon’s Wing Tech series.

Article number: 500775552 Product: 1/48 Heinkel HE 162D

The rare subject of this kit is the He-162D, a variant that had forward-swept wings, and a butterfly tail configuration. The forward-swept wings are newly tooled, while other components are updated, many with photo-etched parts.

Main Features: - Newly tooled wings swept forward at 25° like the real aircraft - Fully detailed He162 engines - Photo-etched parts for cowling cover hinges enable the cover to be movable - Tail of He162D is authentically recreated - Photo-etched parts - Cartograf decals offer accurate markings

About this title: Hitler’s Third Reich produced some truly innovative weapons. One requirement issued in 1944 was for a jet fighter that was simple and cheap, and would be known as the "Volksjaeger" (People’s Fighter). The resulting jet-powered He-162A Volksjaeger was capable of achieving 905km/h, but it only had an endurance of half an hour! The He-162, with the jet mounted in a unique position above the fuselage, began seeing combat in April 1945 in the last days of WWII in Europe.

Article number: 500775032 Product: 1:72 P-38 Pathfinder

Dragon has released a spectacular 1/72 scale model of a P-38 Pathfinder containing all the special characteristics of this version of the Lightning. It receives a clear nose thanks to a completely new mold that shows off the radar system installation. Detail is finely rendered, and careful engineering ensures this model aircraft is a breeze to assemble. Modelers will be pleased to clear a path for this P-38 Pathfinder in their collections!

Main Features: -Newly tooled nose for Pathfinder -Undercarriage comes with detail -Left and right propeller blades created from different molds -Fuselage and booms engraved with fine panel lines -Photo-etched parts to upgrade details -Clear canopy and cabin with crisp details -Cartograf decals offer accurate markings

About the P-38 Pathfinder The P-38 Lightning, a WWII U.S. fighter aircraft, is easily identified by its twin booms. It enjoyed its greatest success in the Southwest Pacific theater, but the P-38 was also successfully adapted to several other roles. One role was that of a "pathfinder" designed to lead formation bombing. The P-38 Pathfinder, fitted with a glazed nose containing an H2X radar, led other P-38s loaded with 2000lb bombs. When the Pathfinder released its load (usually a single 2000lb bomb), the rest of the formation did so too.

Article number: 500775026 Product: 1:72 Arado AR234P

Main Features: - newly tooled nose - detailed armored cockpit and canopy, both newly tooled in clear parts - new MGs mounted in the belly - new radar parts - photo-etched parts for antennas and cockpit interior - high quality decals by Cartograf

About the Arado Ar 234: The Arado Ar 234 Blitz was the world's first operational jet powered bomber, built by the Arado company in the closing stages of World War II. In the field it was used almost entirely in the reconnaissance role, but in its few uses as a bomber it proved to be impossible to intercept.

In January 1945 staff at Arado began development of a night and all-weather fighter based on the Ar 234C. However, the project was plagued by chronic shortages of such essential items as turbojet engines and radars right up to the end of the war, and no dedicated night fighter saw combat action. The Ar 234P-4 was the fourth prototype, being powered by a pair of powerful turbojet engines, which would have given it an estimated top speed of 450mph (725km/h).

Article number: 500773622 Product: 1:35 IDF M113 Fitters&Chata'p Field Repa

After previously releasing a kit of the IDF Zelda, an exciting new M113 combination is now available from Dragon. The new kit allows modelers to build both the M113 Fitters and the Chata’p Field Repair Vehicle. The former is easily identified by a Hiab crane mounted on the roof, enabling it to perform such operations as removing and replacing power packs. The Chata’p, on the other hand, carried spare parts and equipment to allow maintenance and repair of other armored vehicles.

Aptly named a Combo Set, modelers will be able to add two distinctive IDF M113 vehicles, the M113 Fitters and a Chata’p Field Repair Vehicle. They are perfect for each other in a diorama scene, or with a damaged M113 Zelda. The vehicles are realistically depicted and they possess NEO tracks, with brand new parts such as the hydraulic crane, as well as all sorts of stowage boxes and racks on the M113 Fitters. Boxes and racks festoon the Chata’p Field Repair Vehicle as well. Attention has been paid not only to the vehicle exteriors, but also to their interiors, with the internal layout accurately rendered and provided for both vehicles. As before, a free set of backpacks and rucksacks are provided for made of DS so that modelers can attach these to the vehicles’ hulls. As the first such 1/35 IDF Combo Set from Dragon, model-makers receive twice the fun and double the number of vehicles!

Article number: 500773621 Product: 1:35 M132 Armored Flamethrower (SmartK)

Dragon has added another 1/35 scale kit to its growing M113-based family. This time the subject is the M132, which was a flamethrower version of the famous armored personnel carrier (APC). The 10.58-ton vehicle looks similar to a regular APC, but the cupola atop the hull features an M10-8 flamethrower alongside a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun. This turret could traverse 360º. Internally, the rear compartment was taken up by an M10 fuel and pressure unit plus four spherical 50-gallon fuel tanks. This amount of fuel was enough to fire a jet of flame for 32 seconds out to a maximum distance of 200m. The vehicle, often nicknamed the "Zippo", was widely used in the Vietnam War.

As would be expected, this M132 Flamethrower is based on currently available M113 chassis accurately built to 1/35 scale. However, the hull has been suitably modified with a set of new parts suitable for this specialist vehicle. This includes a brand new M10 turret containing the flamethrower and machine gun. Of course, the interior has been completely refurbished too. The four tanks for the napalm fuel are all installed inside. New, too, are brackets to protect the antenna bases. This 1/35 scale kit of the M132 Flamethrower lights up numerous opportunities for modelers wishing to create a Vietnam War vehicle, or to perhaps fit it into a dramatic combat diorama.

Article number: 500773608 Product: 1:35 IDF M113 Armored Personnel Carrier

After previously releasing IDF kits like Magach tank, now an important armored personnel carrier (APC) widely used by the IDF is available to accompany the heavier armor. It’s the Zelda, an Israeli variant of the ubiquitous M113 APC, as used in 1973 at the time of the Yom Kippur War. The IDF employed thousands of these APCs. The Zelda is operated by a crew of two and it carries 11 passengers. Typical armament was two 7.62mm and one 12.7mm machine guns.

This 1/35 scale kit of the IDF M113 APC, built to today’s standards, has been eagerly awaited by many modelers around the world. This kit is all new except for a limited number of parts such as the Neo tracks, road wheels and machine guns that have been used on other related kits. All exterior and interior details are fully replicated, allowing modelers to show the hatches and/or rear ramp open to show off the exemplary detail. Special features specific to the IDF, including the side stowage racks and rails as well as the extended exhaust hose, are naturally present. The vehicle includes a .50-cal machine gun, as well as two 7.62mm weapons. Indeed, this nowaday-standard M113 kit is ready to roll right into action now.

Article number: 500773606 Product: 1:35 M48 AVLB

Dragon's M48 family comes the most ambitious version yet – a fantastic model of an M48 Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB)! Hulls from M48 tanks were converted into AVLBs in the 1950s. Turrets were removed and a scissors-type bridge of 60-ton military load classification (MLC 60) was installed atop the hull. So it could be lowered over any gap up to 18m wide that needed to be crossed by other vehicles. Hydraulic cylinders raised the 14.65-ton bridge from the hull, lowered it to the ground and then unfurled it, a process that took just 2-5 minutes. The M48 AVLB weighed 57,470kg and measured 11.3m long with the bridge stowed.

This 1/35 scale kit is impressive in terms of its bulk, let alone the level of intricate detail inherent in such a vehicle and the MLC 60 bridge. This stunning kit makes use of Dragon’s previously released M48 tank releases. However, the massive scissors bridge is totally new from Dragon, making it the first such AVLB it to become available in plastic. To make it all the more attractive to modelers, the bridge can be stowed in stowed mode, fully launched or in any intermediate configuration. Such versatility means modelers can emplace the model in any kind of diorama. This unarmed M48 AVLB is a welcome addition to Dragon’s modern range of vehicle kits, and the fact that it was used by nations other than just the USA makes it a useful subject for modelers.

Dragon has already announced 1/35 scale kit of an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) version of the standard M3 halftrack, as well as one featuring Nord Aviation SS.11 wire-guided antitank guided missiles. A third one is now available, this time fitted with a TCM-20 antiaircraft gun. Similar to the American M16 halftrack with Maxson M45 quadmount, Israel replaced the four original .50-cal M2 machine guns with a pair of 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannons, which proved effective in combat operations. Most of these guns came from obsolete Israeli aircraft. They were used in a couple of major conflicts, and they even soldiered on in Israeli reservist formations until the 1980s. In the vehicle’s rear fighting compartment is a brand new rendition of the TCM-20 antiaircraft weapon system, with the cannons and mount being intricately detailed. Additionally, there is a plethora of photo-etched parts for the kit to portray metal components, jerry cans rack, headlight guards and tool brackets. The halftrack looks authentic, playing well the role of a hybrid Israeli weapon system. This fascinating M3 halftrack is just bristling with devastating 20mm firepower suitable for either antiaircraft or ground duties.

Dragon latest IDF item is a 1/35 scale plastic kit of an M60 tank fitted with an M9 dozer blade. The kit uses the previously released and very popular IDF Magach 6 tank, to which an M9 dozer blade has been installed. This tank also features Blazer add-on explosive reactive armor (ERA). With a dozer blade fitted, such vehicles were very useful whenever obstacles needed to be cleared or where defensive earthworks were required.

This 1/35 scale kit has superb features, including the correctly arranged ERA modules. Each module fits onto the turret and hull easily and with precision. Of course, the distinguishing feature of this particular kit is the impressive-looking M9 dozer blade. This element is completely new, and it can be depicted in either raised or lowered position depending on what dioramic scene the modeler is trying to recreate. The blade is cleverly produced from multiple parts in order to accurately render its form. With this kit, no obstacles remain in the way for modelers to produce a stunning Israeli AFV!

After previously releasing a Magach 3 tank fitted with explosive reactive armor (ERA) (Item No. 3578), Dragon was hugely encouraged by consumer response to that subject. Now the stunning-looking M60 w/ERA is also available, featuring Blazer add-on ERA.

The arrangement of ERA modules is actually different from that on the Magach 3. Nevertheless, each ERA module fits onto the turret and hull easily and with precision. This M60 includes characteristic features such as an Urdan cupola, a thermal sleeve on the 105mm M68 main gun and machine guns mounted on the turret. Additionally, there’s a generous selection of photo-etched parts for delicate elements such as tool brackets and tow cable brackets, plus the tank uses one-piece tracks made from DS for added convenience. The 105mm main gun’s weatherproof mantlet cover is also made from DS to ensure maximum realism.

Dragon, in its Six-Day War series, has already produced a 1/35 scale kit of an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) version of an M3 halftrack, and now another interesting variant is available for modelers. The new kit features an M3 boasting Nord Aviation SS.11 wire-guided antitank guided missiles (ATGM), which was done to beef up the offensive capability of IDF halftracks. The SS.11 missile was steered to a line-of-sight target by the operator via thrust vectoring control. The 30kg missile had a maximum range of 3,000m. Associated modifications to the halftrack included fitting an armored roof, a full-width launch rail in the mid-section, and storage boxes in the rear for spare missiles.

Dragon’s recently released M3 halftrack has been suitable modified to create this 1/35 scale Israeli M3 antitank missile carrier. The most obvious difference is the bank of four SS.11 ATGMs mounted atop the vehicle. The fighting compartment has been modified to incorporate a firewall between the cab and rear compartment, and two large storage boxes are installed in the rear. A roof hatch can be depicted open or closed. There is also a plentiful supply of photo-etched parts in the kit to portray metal components and tool brackets. As part of Dragon’s growing Six-Day War collection, this is a tremendous-looking vehicle that takes the M3 halftrack to new and lethal places!
 

Article number: 500773578 Product: 1:35 IDF Magach 3 w/ERA

After previously releasing a Magach 1/2 tank, We proceeded to offer a Magach 3 as part of our Six-Day War series. Now yet another kit is available, a Magach 3 fitted with explosive reactive armor (ERA). Combat experience revealed the vulnerability of Israeli tanks to anti-tank guided missiles like the Soviet AT-3 Sagger, as well as to RPG-7s. It was clear that better protection was required, and Rafael developed the Blazer add-on ERA for several tank types. Blazer consisted of modular protective elements that contained inserts filled with an explosive compound to disrupt incoming HEAT projectiles. Blazer, a first-generation ERA, typically added about 1 ton to the Magach 3’s weight.

This 1/35 scale kit inherits excellent features from existing Magach 3 model, but it has been suitably modified to represent an IDF version fitted with ERA. This means the tank has a completely new and appealing look compared to the standard Magach 3. The ERA blocks on the hull and the turret are accurately replicated. There are other brand new parts too. For example, there is a new machine gun with ammunition box and a new commander’s cupola. Additionally, there’s a generous selection of photo-etched parts for delicate elements such as tool brackets and tow cable brackets, plus the tank uses one-piece tracks made from DS for added convenience. The 105mm main gun’s weatherproof mantlet cover is also made from DS to ensure maximum realism. This is an incredibly detailed kit of the Magach 3, and the ERA suite provides a fascinating look for this Israeli tank.

This SU-100 is most definitely a ONE-OFF item, and customers won’t be able to obtain it ever again. To ensure modelers get hold of this special release of Arab AFVs, modelers will have to spring into action immediately!

We already announced Magach 1/2 kit, Magach 3 used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Now it’s time to unveil the first of the IDF’s opponents, and this honor has fallen on an Egyptian Sherman tank. What is special about this tank is the fitment of an FL-10 turret onto a Sherman. Recognizing the limitations of the Sherman’s original 75mm gun, FL-10 turrets were taken from French-built AMX-13 light tanks. This turret with its autoloader allowed the crew to reduce from five to four men. The Shermans also featured diesel engines retrieved from M4A2s. These unique tanks were introduced into Egyptian service in the mid-1950s. However, a great many were destroyed or captured in the Six-Day War by Israel. Postwar evaluations by Israel showed that such special Sherman was similar in capability to its own M51 Isherman.

This 1/35 scale kit is based on Dragon’s excellent Sherman tooling. It thus has crisp details, a high degree of accuracy and very easy-to-assemble DS tracks. To this chassis has been added a brand new turret created especially for this hybrid vehicle. The complex shape of the FL-10 turret from the AMX-13 is extremely well reproduced. Indeed, the oscillating turret of the original FL-10 was basically made of two hinged parts, whereby elevation and recoil were achieved by the upper part moving relative to the lower part. Dragon has captured the turret shape perfectly. For Sherman fans this is a most unusual and desirable tank. And for fans of Middle East conflicts, this Egyptian Sherman is an ideal model to add to any collection!

Article number: 500773569 Product: 1/35 IDF M3 Half Track

The decisive Six-Day War fought between Israel and its neighbors will achieve its 50th anniversary next year. Between now and then, Dragon is releasing a series of 1/35 scale kits highlighting equipment that was critical to that famous Middle East conflict. Here comes another Israeli vehicle. It’s an M3 halftrack, a type used widely by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at that time. American production of the M3 ran into the thousands, and after WWII many nations sold off their stocks to countries like Israel. The M3 in IDF service was an important vehicle for mechanized infantry, it being a forerunner to proper armored personnel carriers like the M113 that Israel later fielded in large numbers.

This 1/35 scale kit inherits the excellent foundational features of Dragon’s model of a WWII American M3 halftrack. However, it has been suitably modified to represent an Israeli M3 in the period of the Six-Day War. For example, there is a new machine gun mount above the front windscreen armor. A typical characteristic of Israeli halftracks was the mass of backpacks and kit stowed on and dangling off the sides of vehicles. This flurry of equipment is perfectly captured with a range of kit accessories made from DS, the ideal material to make such items from. This is a highly detailed and realistic model of an M3 halftrack fighting during the bitterly contested Six-Day War. Indeed, because such halftracks were used long before and after the 1967 conflict, this kit offers enormous modeling versatility too. It will definitely benefit any collection and will whet modelers appetites for even more Israeli subjects from Dragon’s Six-Day War collection!

Article number: 500773567 Product: 1/35 IDF Magach 3

Dragon continues to focus on the fascinating world of Israeli vehicles in its 1/35 scale kit range. After previously releasing its very first 2-in-1 kit depicting a Magach 1 / Magach 2 tank as used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Dragon is now able to offer a Magach 3 as part of its exciting Six-Day War series. A whole range of Magachs based on both the M48 and M60 were introduced. The Magach 3 was a modernized M48A1/A2C/A3 tank. Among the improvements were fitting of a British L7 105mm main gun (instead of the original 90mm gun), upgraded communications, a 750hp Continental AVDS-1790-2A diesel engine coupled to an Allison CD-850-6 automatic transmission, and a low-profile commander’s cupola.

This 1/35 scale kit inherits many of the excellent features of Dragon’s existing M48 model, but it has been suitably modified to represent a Magach 3 tank serving in the IDF. It incoporates 105mm main gun and the mantlet with its weatherproof cover made from DS to ensure maximum realism. The accurately shaped turret has subtle texture and embossed casting numbers. It also includes metal tow cables metal wire with new photo-etched brackets. Additionally, there’s a generous selection of photo-etched parts for delicate elements, plus the tank uses one-piece tracks made from DS for added convenience. This is an incredibly detailed kit of the Israeli Magach 3 tank and, thanks to its combination of high quality and ease of construction, it is a most welcome entry into Dragon’s Six-Day War collection.

Article number: 500773224 Product: 1:32 P-51K Mustang w/4.5-Inch M10 Rocket

NEW TOOLED M10 ROCKET LAUNCHER NEW TOOLED PROPELLER NEW TOOLED CANOPY

Aviation modelers have been waiting a long time for Dragon to release another fantastic model of the famous P-51 Mustang. At last the wait is over! Dragon’s new kit is a 1/32 scale kit of the P-51K. The American P-51 Mustang entered service midway through WWII and became a hugely successful and recognizable fighter. Most were employed as bomber escorts in the European theater, with the definitive and most widely produced version being the P-51D. The P-51K was essentially a P-51D with a different propeller, an Aeroproducts four-blade 11’-diameter hollow steel propeller. These propellers had a different blade shape to the more common Hamilton Standard, though they weren’t as reliable. Some 1,500 P-51K fighters were manufactured in Dallas. The P-51D and K arrived in Europe in mid-1944 and they quickly became the primary fighter of the US Army Air Force (USAAF).

Following Dragon’s earlier releases of 1/32 scale P-51D Mustang kits is this long-awaited P-51K variant. The kit features a brand new canopy and, obviously, a new propeller. To increase its attractiveness even further, the fighter is fitted with brand new 4.5-inch M10 rocket launchers. This three-tube M10 rocket launcher allowed the Mustang to terrorize German forces and vehicles on the ground in Northwest Europe, for example. As before, this kit is highly detailed using state-of-the-art engineering and molding techniques. No effort has been spared in producing a kit brimming with detail, and yet it’s one that remains easy to assemble. Cartograf has provided a series of outstanding decal markings, all that modelers will need to finish off Dragon’s latest 1/32 Mustang family member.

Launche

One of Germany’s famous fighters of WWII was the Messerschmitt Bf110, a twin-engine heavy fighter (Zerstörer or "destroyer" in German) that later developed into a fighter-bomber and then into the Luftwaffe’s principal night fighter. The Bf110C was the first major series-production version of this aircraft, and an effort to increase its range resulted in the Bf110D Langstrecken ("long-range") Zerstörer. This extended-range version based on the Bf110C was fitted with external fuel tanks (e.g. 900-liter under-wing tanks or the Dackelbauch tank, the latter occasionally subject to mysterious mid-air explosions because of insufficiently vented and volatile fuel/air mixes!). The Bf110D was fielded in time to participate in the Norwegian Campaign against British and French forces in the far north of the country. Later, many aircraft were stationed in Norway so as to perform anti-shipping missions and conduct long-range raids against the north of the United Kingdom. The specific Bf110D-1/R-1, the first long-range variant, entered service in May 1940. However, its massive 1200-liter external belly Dackelbauch tank adversely affected the aircraft’s maneuverability.

Dragon has released a 1/32 scale model kit of the Bf110D-1/R-1, which follows hot on the tail of the Bf110C-7 (Item No. 3203) with its impressive level of detail and metal-skinned pattern. This kit features the characteristic Dackelbauch fuel tank, which is naturally newly tooled and possesses a unique ribbed appearance. Aircraft modelers seeking a distinctive aircraft will find this variant with its huge ventral fuel tank just the answer! The fuselage has also been correctly extended at the rear. The undercarriage can be displayed retracted or deployed, while photo-etched seatbelts add a high degree of finesse to the finished product. This new aircraft model is accurate, contains an ultimate level of detail and is easy to assemble. Interestingly, the nickname Dackelbauch means "Daschund belly" so this Bf110D will certainly get modelers’ tails wagging!<BR

Dragon's 1/72 kit of the YF-23 fighter now is back! YF-23 was an American technology demonstrator for the Advanced Tactical Fighter competition in the late 1980s. Only two examples of this single-seat, twin-engine stealth fighter were ever built. In 1991 the YF-23 eventually lost out to the YF-22. When Dragon originally released a 1/72 kit of the YF-23, it was an incredibly hot item. Now, after two decades, it has gleefully entered the limelight again. Despite the age of the aircraft’s design, the YF-23 still looks incredibly futuristic yet it is deceptively simple and sleek at the same time. Now as an added bonus for modelers, this kit comes with a reasonable price tag so that customers can easily afford it and enjoy assembling the YF-23 either for the first time or perhaps all over again.

Article number: 500771065 Product: 1:350 Deutsch.Zerstörer Z-32 (Smart Kit)

Germany produced 15 Zerstörer 1936A-class destroyers. They were actually closer in size to a light cruiser than a destroyer, and notably they were known only by their hull numbers and didn’t receive any names. The 3,597-ton Z32 was laid down at the DeSchiMAG shipyard in Bremen on 1 November 1940, before being commissioned on 15 September 1942. Z32 and two accompanying ships were ordered to sail to Brest soon after the D-Day landings. The Allies intercepted the radio order and Canadian Beaufighters were dispatched to attack the ships steaming through the Bay of Biscay. Z32 was slightly damaged but reached Brest, before departing again for Cherbourg. During a major naval engagement, she was damaged by the Canadian ships HMCS Haida and HMCS Huron in the Battle of Ushant on 9 June 1944, off the coast of Brittany. She was destroyed by air attack after beaching herself on the coast.

Dragon has earlier offered 1/350 scale kits of the Z31, Z38 and Z39 destroyers, and the trio is now being joined by their sister, Z32. This new kit comes with a brand new hull (which can be assembled as a full-hull or waterline-hull kit) beautifully created by slide mold. This hull includes degaussing cables, which were added to ships to reduce their magnetic field and so reduce the risk from magnetic torpedoes and mines. As with Dragon’s other Z-series destroyers, this kit is produced with the highest levels of engineering excellence, and its makes sensible use of other elements from these kits. A comprehensive selection of photo-etched parts is available to upgrade the sophisticated plastic components too. This is a stunning kit of another Kriegsmarine warship, one that had an interesting combat experience.

In 2010 Dragon released the stunning ship kit ever till that point – a 1/350 scale rendition of the famous German battleship Scharnhorst (Item No.1040). That was later joined by a kit of the 31,500-ton battleship as she appeared in 1941 (Item No. 1036), but now Dragon has turned back the clock even further. This time it’s launching an equally fabulous kit showing how the Scharnhorst looked in 1940. In 1940 she was involved in the invasion of Norway, during which she sank the British carrier HMS Glorious. The size, accuracy, ease of assembly and inclusion of bonus parts have all contributed to the roaring success of Dragon’s 1/350 scale kits of the Scharnhorst. Now the warship has been given an overhaul to backdate her to the correct configuration for the 1940 time period.

An appropriate accessory included in this kit is a comprehensive set of 1/350 scale crewmen. Although the figures might be small, they are highly detailed and true to scale. These plastic-injected crewmen far surpass similarly scaled two-dimensional photo-etched figures. Built to a high standard, figures comprise a gun crew for a 15cm gun turret. Other well-posed figures include the captain standing on the bridge, and another crewman climbing a ladder. When these figures are added to the giant battleship, they lend an air of realism and give a true sense of scale to this great German warship.

Dragon is proud to announce its most stunning ship kit ever – a 1/350 scale rendition of the famous German battleship Scharnhorst! The 31,500-ton Scharnhorst was commissioned on January 7 1939, and it often operated in partnership with its sister ship, Gneisenau. Buoyed by a top speed of 31.5 knots, this battleship wreaked havoc on Allied shipping with its nine 11-inch guns. It was involved in the invasion of Norway in 1940, during which it sank the British carrier HMS Glorious. In early 1941 the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau broke out into the Atlantic to lay siege to Allied shipping lanes. On December 25 1943, the Scharnhorst and accompanying destroyers put to sea to interdict Arctic convoys heading to Russia. However, aware of German plans, the British intercepted the Scharnhorst with a Royal Navy battleship, cruisers and destroyers. Reeling under multiple salvos of 2195 shells and 55 torpedoes, the Scharnhorst finally succumbed to its mortal wounds at 1945 hours on December 26. Of the 1968 crewmen aboard, only 36 survived. As an interesting footnote, the wreck of the Scharnhorst was discovered off North Cape in northern Norway in 2000.

Dragon’s project to create a 1/350 scale kit of the Scharnhorst was a mammoth undertaking. The result of 18 months of intensive labor, the impressively sized kit is Dragon’s first ever battleship in this scal

Earlier this year Dragon launched its exquisitely detailed Scharnhorst battleship in 1/350 scale. This stunning kit raised the bar to new heights, and quickly established a benchmark in plastic ship kits. Dragon is now following up this success with a second German ship in the same 1/350 scale – the Z-39 destroyer. Dragon created the best German battleship kit in the market, and now done the same with a German destroyer!

Though this kit of Z-39 is smaller than the Scharnhorst, there is no reduction at all in the level of detail. This is a brand new kit with all-new toolings, with only the launch and twin 3.7cm anti aircraft guns being reused from the preceding model. The kit is produced with the highest levels of engineering and molding excellence. The gun turrets, for example, are finely and fully detailed. The destroyer can be assembled as a full-hull or waterline-hull model. A comprehensive selection of photo-etched parts are available to upgrade this sophisticated plastic kit. To finish it off, there are even some miniature figures to add, three of which are in completely new poses. This is an amazing kit, and is a most worthy partner to the Scharnhorst!

The 65-ton M103 Heavy Tank that served with the US Army and US Marine Corps (USMC) during the height of the Cold War from 1957-1974. Its whole design was predicated on the need to counter Soviet heavy tanks, and thus it boasted a rifled 120mm M58 cannon for long-distance engagements. This gun fired a separate-loading round, which required two loaders, thus giving five men in the crew. The armor was up to 180mm thick on the front of the turret. Some 300 T43E1 tanks were built, of which 219 were later converted to M103A1 standard, and 153 rebuilt into M103A2.

While it’s the impressive Tiger I tank that usually attracts the most attention, it was the Panther that in the long run was a more important tank to Germany during WWII. This 45-tonne medium tank was also converted into a useful armored recovery vehicle known as the Berge-Panther, with nearly 350 examples produced. One particularly unusual vehicle to be created by the unit s.Pz.Abt.653 was a Berge-Panther fitted with a Panzer IV turret. The result was a command tank with a fixed turret, plus a name that was absolutely mind numbing: the Berge-Panther mit aufgesetztem Pz.Kpfw.IV turm als Befehlpanzer. The work was done as a field conversion, and only one vehicle is known to have been converted. It served with the named heavy tank destroyer battalion (equipped with Ferdinand and, later, Jagdtiger vehicles) on the Eastern Front in 1944.

The Panzer IV was the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout the course of WWII. The final version in the Pz.Kpfw. IV family was the Ausf.J This particular variant commenced production in June 1944, and a total of approximately 3125 were eventually manufactured. The Ausf.J succeeded the Ausf.H, and rather than being an enhanced version of the Ausf.H, the final design was actually simplified in an attempt to ease and speed up construction. Thus, the electric turret drive was deleted and an extra fuel tank was fitted in its place. Other distinguishing features include the absence of Zimmerit.
