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!

Product: 1:6 M2 .50-cal Heavy Machine Gun

Dragon is re-releasing its superb large-scale model of the world-famous M2 0.50-caliber heavy machine gun. When first released this 1/6 scale model was highly sought after, and now it’s available again. The M2 machine gun was designed at the end of WWI and entered US service in 1933, but it has been used in innumerable conflicts around the world since then, right up to the present time. "Ma Deuce", as it’s sometimes referred to, can be vehicle-mounted or, as in this kit, fitted on a tripod for ground-based firing. The M2HB continues to be manufactured in the USA and under licence elsewhere, with more than three million estimated to have been made so far.

The kit form of this veteran 12.7mm weapon has intricate detail and offers pleasurable assembly. It comes with a workable and foldable tripod, and a detailed ammunition box and realistic 0.50-cal ammo belt are included too. Metal parts for the handles and ammo box latches ensure strength and scale appearance. The M2 is an unshakable favorite that never grows old, and fortunately this example of heavy firepower is now available again!

Product: 1:35 8.8 cm Panzerschreck Infanterkarren

Horses have been heavily used in warfare for centuries, and WWII was no different despite the widespread use of soft-skin and armored vehicles. Dragon is particularly animated about its latest assortment, which happens to include two 1/35 scale kits featuring horses. Indeed, the kits depict a horse pulling small wheeled wagons such as munitions trailers or anti-tank weapons.

Such infantry equipment pulled by a horse was infinitely preferable to solders having to lug it around themselves. These sets of German subjects are very well detailed – whether horse, carriage or soldier – and it’s true that they have not been available on shop shelves for a long time. Thus, modelers will find it difficult to say "neigh" to this offer!

Product: 1:6 1/4Ton4x4Truck w/M2.50-calMachineGun

Dragon’s large-scale 1/6 model of a 1/4-Ton 4x4 Truck fitted with a .30-cal machine gun met with happy applause from modelers and collectors when it was first released in 2017. Now the same vehicle kit is being released although with a significant change to its armament. Thus it is now upgraded with a Browning .50-cal heavy machine gun! The addition of this .50-cal weapon plus an associated ammo box represents a significant increase in firepower for the vehicle, making it even more appealing. Of course, modelers also have the choice of leaving the machine gun off and depicting a regular unarmed jeep if they wish. This exciting 1/6 scale model kit is accurate in every detail, and there is no shortage of options for modelers to paint and weather the vehicle for combat in battlefields such as North Africa, Italy, Western Europe or the Pacific theater. Moreover, all parts (except clear parts) are injected in an olive drab color, which could save some modelers from basic painting work.
