The latest Dragon’s Space Collection to be released is a fully finished and masterfully painted model of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) in 1/48 scale. Of course, Apollo 11 is one of the most famous spaceflights of all time, as it was this mission that put man on the Moon for the first time on 20 July 1969. Millions of TV viewers around the world watched with bated breath as astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin Jr descended to the Moon in LM Eagle, while Michael Collins orbited overhead in Columbia. Later, Armstrong and Aldrin then used the ascent stage of the LM to rendezvous with Columbia before their spacecraft safely returned to Earth.

It sits on a sizeable dioramic base that’s 252mm in diameter, while the spacecraft module itself is some 140mm high. This replica is perfect not only for collectors, but for those who love space exploration and who wish to commemorate one of man’s greatest technological achievements.

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

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

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

Product: 1:48 Focke-Wulf Ta152H-1

Dragon is proud to release another former Trimaster kit, this time a Focke-Wulf Ta152 made to exacting 1/48 scale. The Ta152 was a German fighter-interceptor designed by Kurt Tank, who was also the chief designer of the famous Fw190A. The first example entered Luftwaffe service in January 1945, although production ceased soon after. Its arrival was too late and in was produced in too few numbers to alter the calculus of a certain German defeat. This kit depicts the main production variant, the Ta152H-1. It boasted an engine-mounted 30mm MK108 cannon and two 20mm MG151/20 cannons in the wing roots, and it was one of the fastest piston-engined fighters of WWII.

Without a doubt, the Ta152H-1 was one of the masterpieces of Trimaster’s range. Its level of detail remains awe-inspiring even today, as is its accuracy. Furthermore, the box even retains the original colors and presentation for which Trimaster was famous. Indeed, it’s a must-have for those who appreciate WWII fighters.

Product: 1:48 He162A-2 Salamander w/Engine

Dragon is in the process of releasing a series of aircraft kits in boxes emblazoned in the original colors for which Trimaster was famous. The first reissue was a Focke-Wulf Fw190D-9 fighter, but now it’s time for the second kit to appear, an He162A-2 Salamander with detailed engine.

The engine-cowling cover is movable, thus permitting the fighter’s BMW 003E jet engine to be exposed in all its glorious detail should modelers choose to portray the He162D engine cowling open. Additionally, there is a complete set of photo-etched components for items such as a cockpit instrument panel and seatbelt for the pilot. The Trimaster name is synonymous with exclusive and quality kits and, thanks to Dragon, some of its most popular items such as this jet-powered Salamander are available to all again at very approachable prices.

Product: 1:48 Ba349D NATTER w/Launch Tower

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


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

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.

Product: 1/48 Ju88P-1 w/75mm PaK 40

About this kit:
With around 15,000 aircraft produced, the Ju 88 was the most widely built Junkers aircraft of WWII. One special variant was the Ju 88P-1, specifically designed as a dedicated tank attack aircraft, in response to requests from units on the Eastern Front.

Fitted with an impressive 75mm PaK 40 tank cannon with a large muzzle brake, the production plane required a reinforced unglazed nose. The plane was tested operationally in 1943 but proved unwieldy and vulnerable to enemy aircraft. The prototype version, known as Ju 88P V1, was fitted with a 75mm Kwk 39 anti-tank cannon and was basically a modified A-4 version.

This kit is rich in detail, complete in accuracy, and stunning in its execution. This Ju 88 kit not only busts tanks, but also breaks the mold in terms of its quality and detail!
