Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel Early Prod. w/Neo

Hot on the heels – or tracks, as the case may be – of Dragon’s new 1/72 scale Nashorn with Neo tracks, comes another kit in this same scale that shares the same tracks. This time it’s the Hummel, a German self-propelled howitzer (SPH) created by installing a 15cm sFH 18 L/30 howitzer on a Panzer IV chassis. The Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel 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.

With the Nashorn so recently receiving Neo tracks, it is logical that its close companion the Hummel should do so too. These tracks come 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. 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. There are even photo-etched parts available to take detail to the next level. A welcome sight, this bumble bee comes right on the tail of a Neo track-shod rhinoceros!

Product: 1:72 Centurion Mk.I

Development of this British AFV commenced in 1943 and it was introduced in 1945, too late to see combat in WWII. However, it remained in production until the 1960s and remained in frontline service right through till the 1980s. Its combat debut was in the Korean War and a total of 4,423 Centurions were produced in 13 marks until eventually replaced by the Chieftain. The 45.5-ton Centurion Mk 1 was the original variant of this tank. Its sloped front glacis had 76mm of armor while the turret had 152mm-thick armor. It was armed with a proven QF 17pdr Mk 3 gun and a coaxial 20mm Polsten cannon as a secondary armament. Given that this is the first Centurion variant in Dragon's 1/72 range, this kit of the Tank Medium A45, Centurion Mark 1 is obviously a brand new tooling. Detail is beautifully rendered and no corners are cut in reproducing this important British postwar tank. The 17pdr gun and 20mm Polsten cannon are well represented mounted in the turret. Customers have been anticipating such a kit for a long time, but now the wait is finally over!

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn w/NEO Track

Dragon has achieved a milestone by introducing NEO TRACK into 1/72 scale Armor Pro range for the very first time. The lucky recipient is an accurate rendition of the Nashorn. These track links offer the perfect balance between accuracy and assembly. They come with pre-assembled straight runs of tracks, for instance, while they can also be realistically sagged. Other parts come as individual links where appropriate to get them to conform to the shape of sprockets, etc.


The actual kit is based on a 1/72 scale Nashorn already released in the Armor Pro from Dragon. Of course, that means all details are accurately presented, including the highly detailed and visible 88mm long-barreled gun mounted atop the hull inside the open fighting compartment. In the kit box there is also a generous selection of photo-etched parts that allow modelers to upgrade the appearance of this powerful German tank destroyer. Thanks to the addition of these Neo tracks, this little rhinoceros has become even more attractive!

Product: 1:72 TigerI EarlyProd.Wittmann's Command

This stunning new 1/72 Tiger I kit depicts the exact vehicle that Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann, Germany’s highest-scoring tank ace of WWII, commanded within the Liebstandarte (LSSAH) Division in late 1943 and early 1944 on the Eastern Front. The famous tank was well photographed wearing a winter whitewash paint scheme at the time, and command tank ‘S04’ features 88 kill rings on the barrel of the KwK.36 gun. This was because, by the time he had been awarded the Knight’s Cross on 14 January 1944 and Oak Leaves on 30 January, he had destroyed 88 enemy tanks.

Dragon’s brand new kit appropriately portrays an Early-Production command variant of the Tiger I. Dragon had released a 1/72 scale kit of such a variant before, but it used older-generation parts. However, such a famous historical tank deserves the ultimate level of accuracy and highest quality, and that is what Dragon has done with this item. A huge amount of attention has been paid on getting all the details of this newly tooled command tank just right, and of course the Cartograf decal markings for the 88 kill marks on the gun barrel are included as well. These barrel rings illustrated the power of the Tiger I as well as the skill of tank ace Wittmann. Indeed, Dragon confidently asserts that this is the ultimate depiction of any Tiger I kit released in 1/72 scale to date.

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.232 Schwerer Pz.Spähwagen Fu

"The Sd.Kfz.232 accommodated extra radio equipment and a large frame antenna for longer-distance communication. It featured a hexagonal-shaped turret mounting a 2cm KwK 30 cannon plus one MG34 machine gun. Production of the Sd.Kfz.232 ceased in 1943 in favor of the newer Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma.

The large armored car is composed of many irregularly shaped and angled plates, so the kit obviously requires extremely precise tolerances when it fits together. Thanks to the use of CAD drawings and high-tech molding techniques, the kit's parts fit together flawlessly. The unique shape of this 8x8 armored vehicle is beautifully captured, and the distinctive antenna frame is finely rendered. The upper and lower hull sections are made as one-piece lements via slide molds. Dragon already has an enriched line-up of 1/72 scale Panzers kits available, so the inclusion of the Sd.Kfz.232 now gives these early-war panzers a valuable reconnaissance capability!"

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Ausf.D (2 in 1)

Dragon earlier announced an exciting 1/72 scale Panther Ausf.A (2 in 1) kit in Armor Pro series, and we are striking while the iron is hot with another fine example of a Panther, this time an Ausf.D. Despite being rushed into combat for the Battle of Kursk in 1943, the 44.8-ton Panther was widely recognized as being one of the best tank designs of the war with its powerful long-barreled 7.5cm gun, well-sloped armor and decent mobility.

The key feature of this 1/72 scale Panther Ausf.D from Armor Pro is that it’s a 2-in-1 plastic kit. Thus, in the kit box there are all the necessary parts to build either an Early Production or a Late Prodcution Panther type. No matter which subtype the model-maker plumps for, the utmost levels of detail are guaranteed. The special characteristics of both subtypes are fully rendered with distinctive parts. Just like its larger 1/35 brothers, this 1/72 scale 2-in-1 Panther Ausf.D is an absolutely up-to-date high-quality kit that exhibits a superior level of detail. There’s an awful lot here for Panther fans to purr contentedly over!

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther A (2 in 1)

"This Panther Ausf.A 2-in-1 kit allows modelers to build either an early or a late version of this perennially popular German tank. Some 2,200 Panther Ausf. A chassis were produced by German factories between August 1943 and May 1944.

The two production variants of this 1/72 scale Panther Ausf.A may look the same if subjected to just a superficial look, but a much closer examination will reveal that they actually possess some important differences."

Indeed, exclusive parts for both versions are included in the box. Examples of differences relating to the two different kinds of exhaust mufflers and exhaust pipes, two different commander cupolars. This is an absolutely up-to-date high-quality kit that exhibits a superior level of detail. This little Panther is sure to have modelers purring with genuine pleasure!

Product: 1:72 Tiger I Early Pro.'131's.Pz.Abt.504

"The Tiger I sporting the number ‘131’ on its turret is a rather famous tank, especially since it is the only working Tiger I in the world. ‘131’ is housed at the Tank Museum in Bovington, UK, with this Early-Production Tiger I captured in Tunisia on 21 April 1943 after being knocked out by Churchill tanks during the Battle of Longstop Hill. This tank with chassis number 250112 had been 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). ‘131’ gained even further fame when it was used in the 2014 movie Fury. Dragon has already released a 1/35 scale kit of ‘131’ (Item No. 6820), but now it is excited to announce a 1/72 rendition of this famed Tiger I.

Modelers can be assured of extreme accuracy in this faithful rendering of the original. The kit features new special parts such as the upper hull, Feifel air filters and brackets for S-mine launchers (Minenabwurfvorrichtung) on the rear of the hull. Even in this small scale, every detail was checked and fine-tuned to match those on the original ‘131’. Now, in 1/72 scale, modelers can precisely and conveniently build one of the best-known tanks in the world!"

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.J Mid Production

"This Dragon Armor Pro 1/72 scale kit depicting a Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.J Mid-Production tank possesses the ultimate level of detail. Furthermore, it’s the first time for Dragon fans to get their hands on an Ausf.J kit in this scale. In most respects, the Ausf.J was a retrograde from the previously produced Ausf.H, a necessity imposed on Germany to simplify and speed up production as the war progressed. For example, there was no electric generator for the turret traverse, so the turret had to be rotated manually.

Thus, it possesses a number of brand new parts to enable accurate rendering of this type. For example, the turret, lower hull and flame-suppressing exhaust mufflers are all newly tooled. All details are crisply molded, including the armor skirts for the turret and hull. The number of parts to assemble has been reduced to a minimum too, so modelers will be able to enjoy construction of this Panzer IV Ausf.J more than ever.
The artwork on the box top is absolutely stunning too. Now, small-scale modelers can at last accurately recreate a German Pz.Kpfw.IV from the late-war period."

German's Sd.Kfz.251 halftrack series proved highly versatile throughout WWII, and numerous variants were produced over the course of its life. One version is Sd.Kfz.251/7 Pionierpanzerwagen, which was issued to combat engineers in Panzerpionier companies. This new Sd.Kfz.271/7 Ausf.C version offers two options for modelers to build either a normal 251/7 w/MG or a special one with 3.7cm PaK 36 mounted on the front.

The T-34, the mainstay tank of the Red Army during WWII, has been described as the most important weapon that helped Russia win the war in the East. Certainly it was the most widely produced tank of the war, and as can be expected, a number of variants appeared during its lifetime. The most important improvement on Mod.1941 was the longer-barrelled F-34 76.2mm gun. Many components were put under scrutiny for mass production, like the gun mount, the welded turret with a new, single, wide hatch, and many other parts. Now Dragon is going to re-launch this T-34/76 Mod.1941 in new 1/72 Armor Pro series.

The Medium Tank M4, better known as the Sherman, appeared in various forms throughout its stellar career with Allied armies. One of the lesser known variants is the M4A3 (105mm), of which five hundred were manufactured by Detroit Arsenal between April and August 1944. The 105mm howitzer gun was fitted so that the vehicle could serve in the close support role, rather than in the usual tank role. Precisely such a vehicle has now been re-introduced in 1/72 model kit form.

Product: 1:72 Sturmhaubitze 42 Ausf.E/F 10,5cm

The StuG.III is a well-known tank destroyer used by German forces in WWII. Closely related is the StuH.42 (denoting Sturmhaubitze 42), which was used to support armor and infantry with a larger-caliber gun offering greater destructive firepower. The first low-rate production examples were manufactured by Alkett in October 1942, using chassis of StuG.III Ausf.E/F vehicles fitted with a 10.5cm StuH.42 L/28 howitzer.

The latest offering from Dragon represents a stunning 1/72 scale kit of an StuH.42 self-propelled howitzer based on our latest StuG.III Ausf.F chassis. This kit has brand new one-piece barrel and the notek light. Same as last StuG.III, the road wheels and track run are made as one piece for modeling convenience. Dragon 1/72 StuG.III family has just gained even more firepower with this fine rendering of a StuH.42 Ausf.E/F with larger-caliber gun.

Based on the chassis of the Panzer III, it was cheaper and faster to build since it did not have a rotating turret. One of the StuG.III variants employed was Ausf.B, which mounted a short-barreled 7.5cm gun. This new 1/72 StuG.III Ausf.B has a complete new superstructure and roof, sprocket and idler wheels, engine deck, rear panel and etc. Moreover, like the previous StuG.III, its road wheels, return rollers and track come as single subassembly for easy assembly.

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D

Dragon has a brand new Panzer IV Ausf.D tank in 1/72 scale available for modelers wishing to expand their number of variants in this family. The Ausf.D was produced from October 1939 through to May 1941, with just 229 units manufactured in total. This type reintroduced a hull machine gun and it used an external mantlet (instead of an internal one). Armor protection was also improved, with 20mm armor now used on the sides. The tank retained the previously used short-barreled and low-velocity 7.5cm KwK.37 L/24 gun as its main armament.

Dragon has previously released 1/72 scale plastic kits of the Panzer IV family, but this is the very first of the Ausf.D. Thus, it’s a 100% newly tooled kit. By judiciously combining smart engineering and slide-mold technology, the number of parts to assemble has been reduced to a minimum. For example, the road wheels and track run are made as one piece. Indeed, these parts only need to be plugged into the hull suspension units and glued and, hey presto, they’re finished! This is a completely new idea from Dragon to ease assembly in every possible way without sacrificing one iota of detail. Indeed, modelers will be able to enjoy their craft more than ever without wasting time on repetitive tasks. The Panzer Ausf.D was an early member of the family, but Dragon has applied the latest technology to it!

The Elefant was an impressive tank destroyer featuring a powerful long-range 8.8cm PaK 43/2 gun in a hull with armor that was up to 200mm thick in places. A total of 91 vehicles were manufactured, though mobility of this 65-tonne behemoth was not its strong point. It managed a top speed of no more than 30km/h on roads, and the drive sprockets needed to be changed every 480km or so!

Product: 1:72 Churchill Mk. III, Dieppe 1942

The Churchill infantry tank is a most distinctive design with its extremely long chassis and wraparound tracks. Named after the British Minister of Defence of the time, the Churchill tank was very well armored. It was produced in a series of versions that offered heavier armor and more powerful armament as the war progressed. The Mk.III, weighing in at 39,626kg, arrived on the scene in March 1942. It featured a 6-pounder gun in the all-welded turret, and the hull-mounted howitzer fitted in previous variants was deleted. The Churchill Mk.III was famously involved in the failed landing at Dieppe in northern France on 19 August 1942. The raid landed more than 3,600, mostly Canadian, soldiers, of which 60% were killed, wounded or captured.

Dragon is issuing a 1/72 scale kit representing a Churchill Mk.III of the type that went ashore at Dieppe. To create this variant, many new components such as a complete upper hull have been newly tooled. A very obvious addition is the extended exhaust pipes for deep wading, with these aiding tanks disembarking from landing craft on Dieppe’s beach. The Churchill Mk.III is beautifully detailed, and it assembles quickly and easily into an accurate model thanks to time-saving elements like one-piece DS tracks and single-piece bogies. These early-type tracks are brand new. This is not just a rehashed Churchill Mk.III kit, for it offers modelers something quite unique with its multiple new parts.

Product: 1:72 PZ.KPFW.III Ausf. N w/Schürzen Ten

Considering the fact that the Panzer III was a product of the 1930s, this German medium tank did well to serve so long in WWII. It was obviously supplanted by the Panzer IV and later the Panther in the tank-versus-tank role, but it did find a niche in the infantry support role. This is most clearly expressed in the final Pz.Kpfw.III variant to enter service – the Ausf.N, of which 700 were manufactured or converted. The Panzer III N entered service in June 1942 and production continued until August 1943. Key characteristics of the Ausf.N were its basis on the Ausf.J or M chassis, and the fitting of a short-barreled 7.5cm KwK37 L/24 gun. Ironically, this was the weapon fitted to older Panzer IV A-F1 tanks. Thus equipped, the Panzer III N was used in the close-support role in Tiger battalions or Panzergrenadier divisions.

Dragon’s Armor Pro series is releasing its second 1/72 scale kit of the Panzer III Ausf.N. The first item to be available (No.7386) was a vehicle serving with the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) in North Africa, and since this new kit is based upon that successful release, it can be expected to assemble easily and accurately. Amongst the many features of this latest kit is a full set of turret and hull Schürzen – 5mm-thick armored skirts that were fitted to original vehicles from March 1943 onwards to protect against enemy anti-tank weapons. On this kit, the hull and turret Schürzen and associated support brackets involve brand new toolings. This is an exciting new 1/72 kit of an important Panzer III variant – an ideal vehicle to accompany a Tiger tank into battle!

The final production variant of the medium-class Panzer III was the Ausf.N. This type appeared in June 1942, by which time the Pz.Kpfw.III was outclassed in tank-versus-tank engagements. The tank was thus relegated to the infantry support role, and it was equipped with a short-barreled, low-velocity 7.5cm KwK 37 L/24 gun. Before production finally ceased in August 1943, a total of 663 new Panzer III N tanks had been manufactured, plus another 37 were converted from Ausf.J/L/M models. The Pz.Kpfw.III N was typically assigned to Tiger battalions and some were therefore deployed to North Africa to support the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK). The DAK expeditionary force, under its famous commander Erwin Rommel, fought gamely in North Africa before its remnants were finally forced to surrender in May 1943.

Dragon’s Armor Pro series is proud to launch its very first 1/72 scale kit of the Panzer III medium tank. This kit specifically offers modelers the chance to build a Panzer III Ausf.N variant that fought with the DAK in North Africa. As the first in the family, the kit includes all-new toolings and it draws upon the technical and technological pedigree of 1/35 Smart Kits. The upper hull is slide molded as a single piece, as is the accurate lower hull. The turret is made from a multi-directional slide mold, and hatches can be shown open or closed depending on the builder’s preference. The entire running gear - including the sprockets, road wheels and idlers - are brand new. Appropriate photo-etched pieces such as mesh for the deflector grill are offered too. This DAK kit constitutes a "hot" debut for Dragon’s 1/72 Panzer III family!

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.L Late Production

The Panzer III was a medium-class tank that at the outbreak of WWII was designed to be the primary platform of the all-conquering panzer divisions. However, with the advent of more heavily armored and up-gunned enemy tanks, the role of the Panzer III became secondary to that of the Panzer IV and production finally ceased in 1943. One of the later models to be produced was the Panzer III Ausf.L, which featured a longer and more powerful 5cm KwK 39 L/60 main gun. It also boasted thicker armor, with an additional 20mm-thick layer on the turret and hull front. A total of 653 Ausf.L tanks were produced in 1942 by German factories.

This new kit specifically offers modelers the chance to build a Late-Production variant of the Panzer III Ausf.L. It includes new toolings, like the long-barreled cannon. It also draws upon the technical and technological pedigree of the larger 1/35 Smart Kit, including full detail and convenient assembly. The upper hull is slide molded as a single piece, as is the accurate lower hull, both elements containing crisp detail. The turret is made from a multi-directional slide mold, and hatches can be shown open or closed depending on the builder’s preference. Where appropriate, photo-etched pieces such as mesh for the deflector grill are also offered.

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.E Sd.Kfz.181 TigerI

Dragon’s famous 1/35 scale Tiger I Initial Production, Item No. 6252, was a landmark kit. At the time of its release, it represented a huge leap forward in the quality and comprehensiveness of plastic model kits. Indeed, this Tiger I set a milestone that all high-quality AFV models still aspire to. The kit portrayed a tank from s.Pz.Abt.502, a unit that was formed in August 1942 and immediately dispatched to the front near Leningrad. It was the first Tiger I unit to enter combat, and it bravely soldiered on in the Eastern Front until the end of the war.

To the delight of modelers, this remarkable and much sought after 1/35 scale kit has now been downsized to 1/72 in the form of Item No. 7370. Fortunately, none of the detail of its larger brother has been lost. The kit features the exact detail of vehicle #100 of s.Pz.Abt.502, the "Mammoth" tank unit. This particular Initial Production tank fought on the Leningrad Front before being captured by the Soviets. At the time, this remarkable war trophy was widely photographed by its gleeful captors. Dragon’s new kit in this smaller scale is remarkably detailed and widely uses slide-molded components to deliver the level of detail required. The Tiger I is a legendary tank, and tank #100 is a legend in its own right. Thus modelers receive two legends in a single kit!

The improved lethality of the long-barreled 7.5cm KwK40 gun of the Pz.IV Ausf.F2 and Ausf.G was greatly welcomed by German tankers during WWII. The Panzer IV G was supposed to be the first tank installed with the 7.5cm KwK40 L/43 gun in 1942. However, the Wehrmacht needed to urgently counteract the thicker armor of Russian T-34 and KV-1 tanks, so this gun was also fitted to some Ausf.F tanks (where it was known as the F2). A total of 175 F2 tanks were produced from March to July 1942 (with a further 25 converted from F1), while 1687 Ausf.G tanks were manufactured.

Dragon has already released a beautifully crafted 1/35 scale kit of such a Panzer IV Ausf.F2(G), and now it has been reproduced in 1/72 scale. Although the model itself might have been scaled down, there is no corresponding diminution in detail! It builds upon the intensive research and engineering done by the expert design team for the 1/35 kit. This new release has extremely well-detailed parts thanks to the clever employment of slide molds. The gun barrel is slide molded along with the muzzle brake and both fenders are brand new. Accurate markings for tanks operating in diverse theaters such as the Eastern Front, France and Tunisia are supplied in the form of decals created by Cartograf. Impressively easy to assemble thanks to clever mold design, and full of detail, this Panzer IV Ausf.F2(G) is destined to follow in the tracks of its 1/35 scale brother and thus enjoy instant popularity!

Poduct: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.251/22 Ausf. D m. 7.5cm PaK

Dragon has released a fair number of Sd.Kfz. 251 halftracks in its 1/72 scale range. However, among the ranks there has never been an Sd.Kfz.251/22 variant up till now. This particular halftrack version mounted a 7.5cm PaK 40 L/46 antitank gun, and it was the last major variant to be built in this famous halftrack family. As Germany desperately sought weapons to counter the onslaught of Russian and Allied tanks, one expedient was to mount this potent antitank cannon on Ausf.D halftracks, with conversions beginning in December 1944.


Dragon’s new 1/72 kit is based on the existing high-quality Sd.Kfz.251 chassis, with all the necessary alterations enabling it to mount the 7.5cm cannon. The vehicle features a completely new gun mount, and details on the PaK 40 are delicately and accurately rendered. Additional details such as ammo cases are also supplied to populate the interior of this open-topped fighting vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251 has always been a popular subject amongst modelers, and this most powerful and lethal variant of all will ensure it packs a punch and is an instant hit with modelers!

Product: 1:72 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf. F1

"Dragon has now released well over 100 models in its popular 1/72 scale AFV series. As if this wasn’t a milestone enough, Dragon is now pleased to announce a groundbreaking release. For the first time ever, Dragon has created a 1/72 scale Panzer IV tank! Building upon Dragon’s extensive experience and expertise in 1/35 scale Panzer IV kits, the first release is a Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F1.

The Panzer IV (Sd.Kfz.161) formed the mainstay of German panzer divisions, and it holds the distinction of being the only German tank to remain in production throughout the course of WWII. This tank, numerically the most common with 8500 produced, underwent a series of improvements to improve its armament and armor protection. The Ausf. F1 was manufactured from April 1941 to March 1942. Armed with a short-barreled 75mm KwK37 L/24 gun, a total of more than 450 were produced, although a number were later converted to F2 status. Other unique distinguishing features were a new turret design (with thicker armor, and two-piece side doors), plus new drive sprockets and idler wheels to accommodate wider 400mm tracks.


Dragon’s new model accurately reflects all these key personality traits, and indeed, the model is completely new except for the road wheels! It has benefited tremendously from technical know-how and research conducted in creating its 1/35 scale brothers. Dragon is thus justifiably proud of this new Panzer IV kit, which is undoubtedly the best available on the market in terms of accuracy, detail and proportions. For those small-scale modelers interested in early Panzers, this kit will be an instant hit!

Product: 1:72 Pz.KPFW.III Ausf.M w/wading muffler

Dragon is able to offer 1/35 scale versions of all major variants within the popular Panzer III family, and now the 1/72 scale family is also being expanded. The latest 1/72 plastic model is the Panzer III Ausf.M. This tank version succeeded the Ausf.L, and it shared the same 5cm KwK39 L/60 main gun. Among its modifications was a deep-wading muffler with a series of associated hatch seals that allowed fording of water obstacles up to a depth of 1.3m. This performance represented a significant fording improvement over earlier Panzer IIIs. The hull-mounted smoke generators were also replaced with three 90mm NbK dischargers mounted either side of the turret. A total of 250 new Ausf.M tanks were produced from October 1942 to February 1943.

Inside the box bearing the Dragon logo lie all the necessary ingredients to create a spectacular Panzer III M with its deep-wading exhaust system. Benefiting from the precision achieved with the larger 1/35 scale version of the Panzer III M, the kit’s extremely well engineered and the parts separation is cleverly handled by the engineering team. In addition to the obviously new exhaust and muffler system, there are DS tracks and a set of photo-etched parts. Cartograf has produced an excellent set of slide decals with different tactical markings so that modelers can select an appropriate unit. This stunning 1/72 plastic kit offers a perfect balance of accuracy and ease of assembly - the perfect project for modelers to wade into!

Product: 1:72 StuG.III Ausf.F

The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG.III) has the distinction of being Germany’s most widely produced AFV of WWII, with 10,619 eventually manufactured. Based on the chassis of the Panzer III, it was cheaper and faster to build since it did not have a rotating turret. Once German troops began encountering heavily armored Russian tanks, the StuG III Ausf.F was fitted with a longer 7.5cm gun. This marked the StuG.III’s first true emergence as a tank destroyer rather than as an infantry support vehicle, with 359 vehicles of this variant produced from March- September 1942. Most Ausf.Fs were armed with a 7.5cm StuK 40 L/43 gun, but the final 31 examples featured
a longer and more potent L/48 gun.


Dragon is proud to offer a new 1/72 scale kit of just such a StuG.III Ausf.F. It features completely new parts (except the lower hull), including the upper hull, fighting compartment superstructure, engine deck, sprocket/idler wheels and others. Moreover, for modeling convenience, the new road wheels and track run are made as one piece. With Dragon having already issued a StuG.III Ausf.G kit in this scale, it’s now time for the preceding mark to receive the same high-quality treatment within the company’s 1/72 set of armored vehicles.

Product: 1:72 Pz. IV Ausf. G

Although the Pz.Kpfw. IV was initially designed as an infantry-support medium tank, it was soon up-armored and up-gunned so it could take over the Panzer III’s primary tank-fighting role. The Panzer IV eventually became the most common German tank of WWII, with more than 9000 produced from 1939 to 1945. This gave it the distinction of being the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout the war. Obviously there were a number of different variants introduced during its lifetime, with one of these being the Ausf. G. A total of 1687 of this version were built in 1942-1943.

Modelers have been eagerly anticipating the release of Dragon’s 1/72 scale Panzer IV Ausf.G kit since the first short-barreled Ausf.F was launched a while ago. The Ausf.G kit has a long-barreled 7.5cm KwK40 L/43 gun, made as a single piece by slide mold, so the kit has a distinctive appearance. However, the kit’s designers have ensured the Ausf.G inherited the accuracy and ease of assembly of the earlier kit. This is reflected in items like one-piece DS tracks and a one-piece lower hull. Besides these important characteristics, it comes with a brand new turret, engine deck, fenders, mantlet, grenade launchers and headlights. The larger 1/35 scale Ausf.G was a roaring success amongst the modeling fraternity, and the smaller scale 1/72 Ausf.G should be no different. Not only that, but the kit has benefited from the level of amazing detail found on its 1/35 counterpart. Because the Pz.Kpfw. IV G was used in every theater of Germany’s war, including important battles like those in Kharkov, it is versatile enough to fit into any setting selected by the modeler.

Product: 1:72 YF-22 Lightning II

Two technology demonstrator aircraft competed head to head in the US Air Force’s (USAF) Advanced Tactical Fighter competition in the late 1980s. The YF-23 was one competitor, and the other YF-22. Two single-seater YF-22 examples were built for the competition’s demonstration/validation phase.

Hot on the heels of re-releasing a 1/72 kit of the YF-23, its competitor YF-22 is now coming. That means modelers and aircraft buffs can now build and show off both stealthy contenders in the Advanced Tactical Fighter competition. The YF-22 was launched many years ago, but now it’s fortunately available again. Its well-detailed and well-engineered components fit together easily and with precision, reflecting Dragon’s contemporary standards. Perhaps the greatest attraction – apart from the fact that modelers can now own this predecessor to the famous F-22 Raptor – is that this fighter kit has an extremely reasonable price tag. This kit will enrapture modelers and it’s is sure to sell like lightning!

Product: 1:72 Gemini Spacecraft w/Skywalker

Project Gemini encompassed two unmanned and ten manned spaceflights from 1964-66. The NASA program was designed to develop space travel techniques with a view to putting man on the Moon under the subsequent Apollo project. One of the highlights of Gemini IV was the first American spacewalk, which occurred on 3 June 1965. On that occasion Ed White performed the first ever extravehicular activity (EVA), his foray outside the spacecraft lasting 23 minutes. All ten Gemini missions blasted off aboard Titan II rocket systems from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

Dragon’s newest 1/72 scale spaceship model kit commemorates these groundbreaking Gemini spaceflights. The set includes a Gemini spacecraft as well as a spacewalking astronaut. The capsule could carry two astronauts, and indeed this kit boasts two crewmen that are extremely well sculpted in this scale. The pair of astronauts (one carrying out a spacewalk whilst tied to his preformed tether, and the other monitoring proceedings from inside the capsule) is made from DS to enable easy painting. Modelers have the option of displaying the exterior hatch open, which allows a good view of the interior of the cramped spacecraft, or closed. As a special bonus for first lot production, the pre-painted propellant tank is included. Such a legendary scene has been captured poignantly in this fine new model kit!

New 1/72 Scale Model Spacecraft!!!

The Apollo space program aimed to put man on the Moon, and the final dry run was the Apollo 10 mission launched on 18 May 1969. It was designed to test all Moon landing procedures, everything except the actual landing itself. During the NASA mission, the Lunar Module (LM) actually came to within 15.6km/h of the Moon’s surface. The crew of three was also able to survey the eventual Apollo 11 landing site in the Sea of Tranquility. Interestingly the LM was deliberately not equipped for a landing, and the ascent module was short-fueled so that the crew wouldn’t be tempted into make a landing! The LM was nicknamed "Snoopy", while the Command Module (CM) was called "Charlie Brown". This was the fourth manned mission and it immediately preceded the successful Moon landing of Apollo 11. On its return to Earth on 26 May 1969, it attained a record-breaking speed of 39,897km/h!

Dragon’s newest plastic spacecraft kit represents key components of the Apollo 10 mission – the LM, CM and nosecone of the rocket. Each segment is beautifully detailed in 1/72 scale, with an amazing level of detail achieved by the use of advanced molding technology. Of special note is the unique transparent cone of the rocket that allows a clear view of LM "Snoopy" that’s snugly installed inside! Though the LM goes inside the cone, no detail has been spared. The plastic model has been produced in this way so that modelers can see and appreciate the "innards" of their spacecraft. In addition, the model is set off by the inclusion of an attractive display stand. This accurate model fits together to create a replica of the spacecraft that played such a pivotal role in allowing man to set foot on the Moon.

Brand New 1/72 Scale Model Spacecraft!!!

Dragon is proud to launch a completely new line of 1/72 scale model spacecraft. The first fantastic kit set in this new collection is of Apollo 11, the first craft to put man on the Moon. Watched by millions of TV viewers, the historic Moon landing occurred on 20 July 1969 when the Apollo 11 mission touched down on lunar soil of the southern Sea of Tranquility. The Lunar Module (LM), christened Eagle, spent 21.5 hours on the Moon’s surface, while the Command Module (CM) named Columbia orbited above. The US flag was planted on the Moon, indicating to all who the winner of the Cold War space race was. The first astronaut to set foot on the Moon was Neil Armstrong, followed by Buzz Aldrin. The module returned to Earth on 24 July, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean with 21.5kg of lunar rocks and samples safely aboard.
As for Dragon’s 1/72 scale model, it features the Eagle LM still coupled to the Columbia CM on its approach to the Moon. The spacecraft modules are all newly tooled and they possess accurate details. Having the two modules connected like this makes for an impressive sight when they’re exhibited on the integral display stand. The kit also makes for an interesting education lesson, allowing modelers to understand more about this milestone event. The Apollo 11 mission was indeed "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." And now Dragon has added one more significant step for modelers too!
