Product: 1:35 Chinese Volunteer DShK AA Team

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

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

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.

Indeed, within less than a year, the war in Europe would draw to an end as Germany was crushed by Allied and Soviet forces approaching from east and west respectively.

Product: 1:35 FlaK 38(t) Ausf.M LATE PRODUCTION

The Wehrmacht made heavy use of the Panzer 38(t) during WWII, both as a tank and as the basis for a range of different AFV variants. Ironically, the Panzer 38(t) wasn’t even a German design, but rather a Czech one. This is indicated by the suffix ‘(t)’ that represented tschechisch, the German word for Czech. Originally labeled the CKD LT vz. 38 by Czechoslovakia, Germany took over the factory when it annexed Czechoslovakia, and production continued until 1942. More than 1,400 Pz.38(t)/Sd.Kfz.140 tanks were manufactured, though the chassis continued to roll off the factory floor for Marder III and Jagdpanzer 38 vehicles among others till 1944.

This terrific kit assortment thus offers a wide representative selection of vehicles based on the versatile Czech tank chassis, and its release enables modelers to get their hands on these hard-to-obtain kits.

The Panzer I was most definitely a product of the 1930s. Therefore, even as WWII kicked off in September 1939 with the invasion of Poland, the Pz.Kpfw.I was obsolete as a tank with its thin armor and light armament of only two machine guns. Nonetheless, it still saw combat early in the war. Instead, perhaps its greatest contribution to Germany’s war effort was its basis for a whole plethora of special vehicle conversions.

Now we are gathering an assortment of several plastic kits in 1/35 scale of these interesting Panzer I-based armored vehicles. Three exciting models represent the little Panzer I in quite different guises. They all share the same intricate Panzer I-family chassis, but from there onwards they diverge into an array of interesting vehicle types.

Dragon has a fantastic new 1/35 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 1/35 scale kit allows modelers to produce a Tiger I specific to Gruppe Fehrmann. The kit makes use of tried-and-true parts from previous Tiger I releases from Dragon, which is entirely apt considering the ad hoc nature of the unit and of the half dozen Tiger I tanks used by it. Thus, the Tigers reflected a mix of early and late features in an eclectic hybrid kind of tank, such as an Early-Production turret and a Late-Production chassis/hull. Straight from the box, this highly detailed Tiger I from Gruppe Fehrmann is ready to foray into combat and to defend home soil against the Allies.

Ironically, the Panzer 38(t) wasn’t even a German design, but rather a Czech one. This is indicated by the suffix ‘(t)’ that represented tschechisch, the German word for Czech. Originally labeled the CKD LT vz. 38 by Czechoslovakia, Germany took over the factory when it annexed Czechoslovakia, and production continued until 1942. More than 1,400 Pz.38(t)/Sd.Kfz.140 tanks were manufactured, though the chassis continued to roll off the factory floor for Marder III and Jagdpanzer 38 vehicles among others till 1944.

This terrific kit assortment thus offers a wide representative selection of vehicles based on the versatile Czech tank chassis, and its release enables modelers to get their hands on these hard-to-obtain kits. Each model includes the Magic tracks and is accurately rendered in 1/35 scale, and they are a fine example of the enduring quality of Dragon’s technical expertise.

Product: 1:35 Bison II 15cm s.IG.33(Sfl.)a.Pz.II

The Panzer II was the most numerous tank type used by Germany in the Blitzkrieg. By the end of 1942 the Panzer II had been mostly withdrawn, though its chassis went on to form the basis of a range of different weapons such as self-propelled artillery pieces and tank destroyers. Dragon has brought together a pair of such variants for its next collection of 1/35 scale plastic kits.

The two vehicles share the same detailed Panzer II chassis and lower hull – including valuable Magic Tracks – but from there their superstructures and weapons diverge. Both 1/35 scale kits are prime examples of Dragon’s engineering excellence. Each vehicle is an attractive modeling subject in its own right, and they come with a generous selection of photo-etched parts. They may be small, but these Marders and Bisons are crammed with stunning detail and will be a pleasure to assemble.

The Panzer I was most definitely a product of the 1930s. Therefore, even as WWII kicked off in September 1939 with the invasion of Poland, the Pz.Kpfw.I was obsolete as a tank with its thin armor and light armament of only two machine guns. Nonetheless, it still saw combat early in the war. Instead, perhaps its greatest contribution to Germany’s war effort was its basis for a whole plethora of special vehicle conversions.

Now we are gathering an assortment of several plastic kits in 1/35 scale of these interesting Panzer I-based armored vehicles. Three exciting models represent the little Panzer I in quite different guises. They all share the same intricate Panzer I-family chassis, but from there onwards they diverge into an array of interesting vehicle types.

The D-Day landings in Normandy, commencing on 6 June 1944, were part of the long-awaited Allied campaign to defeat Germany in Western Europe. Indeed, within less than a year, the war in Europe would draw to an end as Germany was crushed by Allied and Soviet forces approaching from east and west respectively. The Allied campaign in the West was thus critical to achieving VE Day on 8 May 1945, as Germany fought ferociously to defend the Fatherland. To commemorate that important theater of operations, Dragon is releasing six 1/35 scale figure sets from its popular WWII range.

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.

Indeed, the Deutsche Reichsbahn was instrumental in keeping Germany in the war. Things got even more difficult on the Russian front because the latter used a different railway gauge, and Reichsbahn workers had to convert more than 16,000km of Soviet track to the German gauge between June and October 1941 alone.

The Panzer I tank had in fact a protection and armament capability no longer in keeping with the operational needs of the German armoured divisions. However, it had good mobility and a robust chassis which was ideal for the positioning of the anti-tank gun, which was sited behind an open steel shield. The Panzerjager I was deployed by the Wehrmacht during the invasion of France, in North Africa and in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa in 1941. It held a goodammunition supply, with over 70 rounds available for gunners. It was systematically replaced during the war bymore heavily armored tank destroyers, better equipped to deal with modern tank armor against which the 47 mm gun proved to be ineffective.

Product: 1:35 Sd.Kfz.7/2 3.7cm FlaK 37 & FlaK 36

Dragon continues its exciting 2-in-1 series with its focus now turning to the Sd.Kfz.7/2 anti-aircraft halftrack. Original versions of this air defense vehicle had a regular open cab, whereas the armored Sd.Kfz.7/2 version appeared from late 1943 onwards. The weapon also switched from the Flak 36 to the improved Flak 37 in 1944. Dragon’s 2-in-1 kit of these Sd.Kfz.7/2 halftracks provides modelers with either a regular open cab or an armored cab. Furthermore, the kit offers two different types of tailgates/dropsides. Featuring slide-mold technology and photo-etched parts, the halftrack chassis and 3.7cm cannons exhibit an ultimate level of accuracy. This 2-in-1 choice of the Sd.Kfz.7/2 is therefore a convenient solution for the connoisseur who has not yet decided which fascinating German antiaircraft vehicle to build!

Product: 1:35 Sd.Kfz.171 PantherAusf.D w/Zimmerit

The key feature of this 1/35 scale Panther Ausf.D plastic kit from Dragon is the inclusion of two possibilities – modelers can build a Panther either with or without a coating of Zimmerit. Thus, in the kit box there are two sets of parts for the turret, mantlet, upper hull, glacis, rear plate and stowage boxes to allow either version to be assembled. The Zimmerit coating is a masterpiece of sculpting and molding, and it equals the delicacy of a master-modeler’s handiwork. This kit also features one-piece DS tracks with hollow guide horns. For both types, there are a number of photo-etched metal parts (e.g. engine deck grills) to help modelers accurately depict the fine components on this famous German tank. Thanks to the versatility of this 2-in-1 set, modelers have the liberty of buying the kit now and then deciding at their own leisure which type to build!

Product: 1:35 Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma (Premium Edition)

Dragon is releasing another exciting 1/35 scale Premium Edition kit of an 8x8 vehicle from the German Sd.Kfz.234 series. This kit depicts probably the most famous variant, the 234/2 that was commonly referred to as the Puma. The first batch of vehicles was delivered in December 1943, and by the time production ceased in September 1944, a total of 101 vehicles had been produced.

Original kit of Sd.Kfz.234/2 (#6256) possessed a phenomenal amount of detail. Dragon is constantly striving to raise the bar, and so it was time to update it as a Premium Edition kit. Improvements include 3 sandwich-type road wheels as option. All wheels can be adjusted to different angles. Further refinement comes from a selection of photo-etched metal parts. The turret is accurately shaped and includes realistic weld seams. This Puma, a plastic work of art, is oozing with feline charm, and it should form an essential complement to any respectable WWII model collection.

Product: 1:35 StuG.III Ausf.B (Smart Kit)

Dragon’s popular and new generation StuG.III series already includes 1/35 scale kits of the Ausf.A, C/D, E, F and G. The last one waiting in the wings was the Ausf.B, and now it’s here! Armed with a short-barreled 7.5cm StuK.37 gun of L/24 caliber, the 20.2-ton assault gun was widely used by Sturmartillerie batteries in campaigns such as the Balkans and the invasion of Russia. As to be expected, the new kit is cleverly based on foregoing family members, but it also has a host of new parts specifically created for this early variant of German assault gun. An example is the hatches on top of the fighting compartment superstructure, which are different to those on any other StuG.III variant. Also new for this release are optional spare-track brackets on the front of the right-hand fender, these being made from photo-etched metal parts. Also new are photo-etched clasps for the front fenders. This magnificent Smart Kit contains a full fighting compartment interior. Dragon’s new generation of StuG.IIIs is now fully present and correct!

Product: 1:35 DAK Pz.Bef.Wg.III Ausf.H (SmartKit)

Dragon launched a 1/35 kit of a Panzerbefehlswagen III Ausf.H (Item No. 6844) last year, and while it was lapped up by modelers, there was also clamor for a Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) version of the same vehicle. Dragon has now obliged by creating a special DAK configuration of the Pz.Bef.Wg.III Ausf.H! This specialized command tank containing long-range radios was created based on a standard Ausf.H gun tank, the first Panzer III version to be fitted with a 5cm KwK L/42 cannon. However, on the Pz.Bef.Wg. version there was no 5cm gun fitted, with just a single MG34 for self-defense and a dummy gun to fool the enemy.

Dragon’s new 1/35 scale DAK kit is different to the preceding Pz.Bef.Wg.III Ausf.H kit in some noticeable ways. For example, it bears a large storage box on the engine deck, plus a smaller storage box on the front left of the fender. Another modification is a spare-track rack on the glacis plate. The sprockets and idler wheels are also different to that on the predecessor. And unchanged, is the characteristic large frame antenna for the long-range radio. Plus the vehicle looks most impressive when the turret-mounted telescopic antenna is shown extended. This Panzerbefehlswagen III H nicely complements lately-reproduced DAK items in Dragon’s line-up, including: Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A Early Production (Item No. 6289), Pz.Kpfw.III (5cm) Ausf.H Late Production (6642), Bison II 15cm s.IG.33 (6440), Kübelwagen Workshop w/DAK Troops (6338). With the arrival of this command tank, modelers now have even more options for creating a North African diorama.

Product: 1:35 FLAK PANTHER Ausf.D s.Pz.Jg.Abt.653

The Panther medium tank was the third-most widely produced German AFV of WWII, and different variants evolved such as a recovery vehicle and tank destroyer. Field conversions also occurred, and one of these was a rare transformation of a Panther into an antiaircraft vehicle. It was a one-off field conversion, and the resulting AFV was employed by the headquarters company of the 653rd Heavy Panzerjäger Battalion (Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653, or s.Pz.Jg.Abt.653) during the titanic Battle of Kursk.

This kit is a perfect combination of Dragon’s existing Panther Ausf.D medium tank and four-barreled 2cm Flakvierling 38 kits. s.Pz.Jg.Abt.653 was an interesting unit and it featured some interesting vehicle conversions, this one included. As for the kit, there are photo-etched parts included in the box, as are all plastic parts needed to create this unusual but good-looking German air defense vehicle. At long last, modelers are now able to get their hands on such a rare converted Panther.

Product: 1:35 Sd.Kfz.234/1 schwerer PzSpähWg(2cm)

Dragon is reprising a 1/35 scale kit of the German schwerer Panzerspahwagen as a Premium Edition offering. The specific vehicle type is an Sd.Kfz.234/1. This 8-wheeled reconnaissance vehicle had a 2cm KwK38 L/55 cannon and an MG42 machine gun mounted in a hexagonal turret. A total of 200 vehicles were produced between June 1944 and January 1945. Dragon's 1/35 scale kit Sd.Kfz.234/1 has been upgraded to contemporary standards as a Premium Edition kit. One of the chief improvements is the addition of three wheels that assemble with sandwich-type construction. These multiple-part wheels ensure maximum detail. Another advantage of this new Premium Edition kit is that the driveshafts and tie rods are constructed in such a way as to allow all eight wheels to be depicted in any steering direction that the modeler chooses. At the same time, the original photo-etched parts for the anti-grenade screens on the turret are supplied. Now that the Sd.Kfz.234/1 has received a stunning makeover, modelers will be able to embrace the comeback of this German 8x8 armored vehicle after such a long drought.

Product: 1:35 IJN SpecialType4 "Ka-Tsu" w/Torpedo

The Ka-Tsu amphibious tractor was earmarked for Operation Tatsumaki (Tornado), a Japanese plan to conduct a surprise attack on a US fast carrier task force in the lagoon of Majuro Atoll in the Marshall Islands in May 1944. Five IJN submarines were to carry Ka-Tsu on their decks. Each vehicle carried a pair of 450mm Type 2 torpedoes, and they were supposed to drive over the outer reef and enter the inner lagoon.

Dragon has already produced a fine 1/35 scale plastic kit of a transport version of the Type 4 Ka-Tsu (Item No. 6839). Now, the torpedo-armed version is available, depicted just as they would have appeared during Operation Tatsumaki. There are many new parts in he box, of course including the torpedoes carried either side of the hull deck and their associated brackets that held them in place. The pintle-mounted machine gun is new too, while the arrangement of the hull deck has been adapted. This is an eye-catching 1/35 scale release from Dragon, and modelers now have a tremendous opportunity to make a rare and fascinating Japanese vehicle of historical interest.

Product: 1:35 Wittmann's Ace Tiger Crew

Clearly one of the best ever kits from Dragon was a 1/35 scale rendition of a Tiger I tank belonging to the legendary panzer ace Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann (Item No.6730). The tank kit met a phenomenal response from the market, and the box even included a full set of tankers representing Wittmann and his four crewmen. However, that production run swiftly sold out thanks to its immense popularity.

While Dragon is offering a second production run of Wittmann’s Tiger I, the next kit doesn’t feature the tank crewmen. However, to meet requests from frantic modelers who missed out on the kit combo the first time around, Dragon is going to offer Wittmann and his crew as a standalone 1/35 scale figure set.

Wittmann was one of Germany’s highest-scoring tank aces of WWII, with the credited destruction of 138 tanks and 132 anti-tank guns. He cut his teeth on the Eastern Front with a StuG.III, and latterly he took command of a Tiger I in time for combat during Operation Citadel at Kursk in July 1943. The figure set offers an authentic-looking rendition of Wittmann and his Tiger I crew. Detail on these 1/35 scale figures is excellent, with their panzer uniforms well rendered as they pose for a group photo. However, model-makers will have to be quick to snap up this figure set if the popularity of the original tank/crew set is anything to go by!

Product: 1/35 Tiger I "131" s.Pz. Abt.504 Tunisia

Dragon is extremely excited to announce the arrival of a 1/35 scale plastic kit of one of the most famous tanks in the world – a Tiger I sporting the number ‘131’. The original ‘131’, housed at the Tank Museum in Bovington, UK, is the only working Tiger I in the world. The tank with chassis number 250112 was 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). On 21 April 1943 it was captured in Tunisia after being knocked out during the Battle of Longstop Hill. ‘131’ was hit three times by the 6-pounder guns of Churchill tanks from the 48th Royal Tank Regiment. The Tiger was taken back to England for evaluation purposes. Transferred to the Tank Museum in 1951, restoration commenced in 1990 and by 2012 the painstaking work was complete. ‘131’ gained further fame when it was used in the sensational movie Fury that released in 2014.

Product: 1/35 Operation Typhoon 1941

Germany launched its massive invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, with the aim of destroying the country’s military, political apparatus and capturing its territory. The attack met with early success, and Axis forces advanced deep into Russia. Operation Typhoon was Germany’s strategic offensive to capture the capital Moscow, Russia’s political center. The operation consisted of two pincers north and south of Moscow by panzer groups, as well as a large force moving west directly against the city. However, German forces, confronted by
stretched supply lines, the debilitating onset of winter and stiffening resistance, finally stalled on Moscow’s outskirts. This bitter fighting took place between October 1941 and January 1942 before Soviet counteroffensives turned the tide. The fighting around Moscow incurred
some one million casualties, and it represented the first German retreat from which it would never recover.
Dragon’s newest 1/35 scale figure set portrays German soldiers from Operation Typhoon.
The figures are bundled up against the freezing cold winter weather that made conditions even more hazardous. Typical of the period, and Germany’s ill-preparedness for winter warfare, the four soldiers are wearing a wide range of clothing. A general has a sheepskin coat
on, attire that’s rarely produced in 1/35 scale. The poses are extremely vivid, and one can almost feel the cold seeping through their clothing and the snow flurries blowing against them.
These well-sculpted figures could be used individually in a vignette, or grouped together in a winter scene. This was the first severe winter that German troops encountered, and this set perfectly conveys the grueling nature of the ultimately unsuccessful Operation Typhoon.

You can't afford to miss it!

Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann was one of Germany’s highest-scoring tank aces of WWII, with the credited destruction of 138 tanks and 132 anti-tank guns. He cut his teeth on the Eastern Front with a StuG.III, and latterly he took command of a Tiger I in time for combat during Operation Citadel at Kursk in July 1943. Dragon has created a magnificent representation of Wittmann’s Tiger I (turret number ‘S04’) with 88 kill marks on barrel. Dragon’s kit appropriately portrays an Early-Production variant, and it forms the important and much-anticipated last piece of Dragon’s exemplary Tiger I family.

This awesome plastic kit made precisely to 1/35 scale shows Wittmann’s Tiger I with 88 kill marks on the lethal 8.8cm gun barrel. These painted barrel rings illustrated the power of the Tiger I as well as the skill of tank ace Wittmann. This brand new kit stems from thorough research and it’s thus accurately designed to represent Wittmann’s ‘S04’ mount. To ensure the absolute highest levels of quality, the majority of components in this special release, like turret, upper hull, engine deck, rear panel, road wheels, spare tracks and etc, are newly tooled and engineered to achieve the engineering level of a Smart Kit, and to provide the unique appearance of this famous Tiger. Morever, a full set of Michael Wittmann's crew is included in first production run as a BONUS!

Product: 1:35 Ardelt-Rheinmetall 8.8cm PaK 43

At the recent Nuremberg Toy Fair, Dragon excited modelers with a tantalizing look at a new 1/35 scale model. The upcoming kit represents a German design that reached only prototype status, but which is a fascinating subject nonetheless. The vehicle is the Ardelt-Rheinmetall 8.8cm PaK 43 Waffenträger. The conceptual idea behind this weapon system was a self-propelled mount for the powerful but heavy 8.8cm antitank gun, as towed versions of this gun were too unwieldy for crews to move readily. Ardelt and Rheinmetall combined to build the first prototype and tests were conducted on this Ardelt I. The vehicle’s engine was fitted at the front of the hull, which permitted the main armament – an 8.8cm L/71 cannon – to be fitted on the rear. It utilized a 38(t) chassis with four road wheels per side. An improved prototype (Ardelt II) was later produced by Ardelt and Krupp, but the end of the war intervened before production got off the ground.

Dragon’s kit represents the original Ardelt-Rheinmetall prototype, and it’s a scintillating subject in 1/35 scale. To suit the prototypical nature of the Waffenträger, the plastic model employs brand new upper-hull and lower-hull components. The open-top fighting compartment is filled with details, and the armor plates surrounding it have been carefully manufactured to achieve the correct scale thickness. Taking center stage, of course, is the massive 8.8cm PaK 43 antitank gun. This weapon is fully reproduced from the tip of its muzzle brake to the breech. All in all, Dragon offers modelers the highest-quality kit of this novel Waffenträger.

Product: 1/35 5cm PaK 38 L/60 auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.II (Sf)

Second item from the German Exotic Beast! Dragon is releasing a finely detailed 1/35 scale kit of an ad hoc wartime vehicle that was fielded by Germany during WWII. It is labeled the 5cm PaK 38 auf Fgst Pz.Kpfw.II, which, as its name suggests, is a Panzer II chassis that mounts a 5cm L/60 anti-tank gun. In this regard it was somewhat similar to the Marder II, which was also a tank destroyer. The 5cm PaK38 auf Pz.Kpfw.II was an expedient solution. It is unclear how many vehicles were thus modified, but it variously employed Panzer II Ausf.A, B or C chassis.

This 1/35 scale kit has a great many new parts to completely represent this tank conversion. For example, the upper hull is new. The appearance of the self-propelled tank destroyer is captured perfectly in miniature, including the new armor panels of the superstructure that are made true to scale. Also new is the gun mount for the 5cm weapon. Large ammunition bin and stowage bin are correctly installed on the engine deck. If a modeler wanted to create this unique and interesting German vehicle, they had to do so from scratch by combining assemblies from several different plastic kits. Now Dragon has done all the work for modelers, creating numerous original parts in the process, and a 5cm PaK38 auf Pz.Kpfw.II can be built accurately straight from the box!

Product: 1/35 Panzer-Regiment 7, 10.Pz.Div. 1941

In terms of 1/35 scale plastic figure sets, Dragon has one of the world’s most comprehensive ranges. The range has just been enlarged even more with a set that will prove one of the most useful and versatile for armored vehicle modelers. Item No.6655 features three tank German crewmen. While the box art identifies them as coming from Panzer-Regiment 7 of 10.Panzer-Division during the invasion of Russia, they can certainly be used for any early-war period. The figures have been specifically designed by the master sculptor to fit neatly into the hatches of either Panzer III or Panzer IV tanks. These plastic figures are sharply molded with realistic poses of the type widely seen in WWII photographs. As well as the commander standing in his hatch, and another standing figure, the third member of the tank crew is designed to sit in the left-side hatch of a panzer turret. This is not an easy pose for modelers to try and create independently on their own, so this figure will prove very useful. Dressed for warm weather, this crewman wears shirt sleeves rather than his jacket.

To add even more value to this 1/35 scale figure set, the box also includes a bonus figure, none other than Generaloberst Guderian! Heinz Guderian was a genius in developing Germany’s blitzkrieg tactics, and here he is represented in miniature. The lifelike figure is a Gen2 figure. Dragon has already released a number of German early-war Panzer III and IV tank kits, and here comes the crew to operate and general to lead them!

Product: 1/35 Ghost Division Tanc Crew Blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg ("Lightning War") was a term used to describe the new form of warfare that Germany unleashed on its unprepared foes at the start of WWII. As its core, Blitzkrieg involved the integrated use of mechanized units containing tanks, infantry, artillery and airpower. When combined, these assets had the devastating ability to swiftly pierce enemy lines and keep opponents off-balance. This innovative German strategy was first seen in the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and it also proved highly effective in the invasion of the Low Countries and France in 1940. Dragon has produced a novel set of 1/35 scale figures that will enable modelers to recreate an imaginary scene from this early period of the war.

The set contains four figures from the "Ghost Division." This was the moniker given to Erwin Rommel’s 7th Panzer Division because of the speed with which it moved during the invasion of France, with even the German High Command unable to keep up with its progress. Three of the figures are tank crewmen and the remaining figure is an infantryman. The set permits the creation of two separate episodes. The first sees a lightly wounded tanker being escorted to safety by a comrade. Such a scene is not easy to engineer by oneself because of the complicated task of blending two figures, but Dragon provides the ideal solution after completing and tooling a highly demanding master. The second pair of figures features a tanker conversing with a soldier, and such is their versatility that they will easily assimilate into just about any diorama. The figures wear typical early-war uniform items like panzer berets from the 1940 Blitzkrieg era. Sharply molded and realistically sculpted, these German figures will contribute much to an interesting Blitzkrieg scene involving some of Dragon’s panzer kits.
