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

Dragon Armor Pro has yet another brand new Panzer IV tank in 1/72 scale available for modelers wishing to expand the number of variants in this important tank family. This kit depicts the Panzer IV Ausf.J Early-Production. About 3,160 Ausf.J units were produced from February 1944 through till April 1945. In most respects, the Ausf.J was a retrograde from the previously produced Ausf.H, a necessity imposed on Germany to simplify production as the war progressed. For example, there was no electric generator for the turret traverse, so the turret had to be rotated manually. Pistol and vision ports on the turret side hatches were removed too.

This latest 1/72 scale kit possesses the ultimate level of detail. For example, it has a newly tooled lower hull possessing different details on the bottom. It shows the correct identifying features of an Early-Production Ausf.J. Yet another small niche in the Panzer IV family has been filled with this new kit, and modelers can enjoy obtaining the whole range that reflects the history of the Panzer IV.

Product: 1:72 Chinese Volunteer T-34/85

The T-34 was the Soviet Union’s most important tank of WWII, yet it continued to soldier on in other conflicts around the world long after 1945. One such user was China. Some of these Russian-built tanks were used by the PLA in the Korean War, after China entered that conflict in October 1950.

Dragon has certainly produced T-34/85 tanks in 1/72 scale before, but this one has some new features appropriate to its use by the People’s Volunteer Army of China. Thus, newly tooled parts depict the front of the lower hull, which is not rounded but rather sharp-edged. Furthermore, different front fenders are portrayed by brand new photo-etched parts. Of course, the distinctive spoked wheels are also newly tooled. The 85mm gun barrel is slide molded as a single piece. This is an exciting new Dragon Armor Pro kit, one that gives a new twist to the famous T-34 tank family.

Product: 1:72 Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel Late Prod.w/NEO T

"The Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel consisted of a 15cm sFH 18 L/30 howitzer mounted on a Panzer IV chassis. It 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. More than 700 vehicles were built by the end of WWII. An easy identifying feature of Hummel Late-Production variants is the straight glacis plate for the driver’s/radio operator’s compartment.

The Neo tracks are a super-convenient track solution that comes 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. For this kit, everything needed to produce an accurate Late-Production variant of this Hummel is included in the box, and 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. This "bumble bee" is a honey of a kit, and modelers will want to get one while they’re still available."

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.

Product: 1:72 M6 Bradley Linebacker Air-Defense Vehicle

The M6 Bradley is an air-defense vehicle found in heavy armored divisions, and it mounts four FIM-92A Stinger missiles in the launcher unit on the left of the turret instead of the two TOW missiles in a regular Bradley. Operated by a crew of four, the Linebacker system employs a FAAD (Forward Area Air Defense) C3I suite that allows firing while stationary or on the move. Ten spare Stinger missiles are carried inside the vehicle. The 29.9-ton M6 still retains the standard turret armament of an M242 25mm Bushmaster cannon and 7.62mm M240C coaxial machine gun, but the easiest recognition feature remains the turret-mounted missile launcher unit.

Dragon is in process of renewing 1/72 scale kits of the Bradley items, and now the M6 Linebacker has joined the range! This M6 kit is of the type that has seen extensive service in Iraq in recent years. Dragon’s M6 shares most of the highly detailed components of previous Bradley kits, though with an unique launcher unit for the Stinger missiles. For modelers wanting to produce an Iraq diorama with a unique twist, or simply wish to complete the Bradley family tree, this Linebacker kit is a real prize!

The M4A3E8, often referred to as the "Easy Eight"featured improvements from the first generation of Shermans, including plus a longer 76mm gun, wider tracks that improved ground clearance and mobility. The M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" had a welded hull and was introduced into frontline units in December 1944 in WWII. And they fought alongside M26 Pershing and M46 Patton tanks in Korea. In fact, the reliable Sherman remained the most common American tank in the Korean War.

This 1/72 scale kit depicts a typical Sherman M4A3E8 fighting in the bitter Korean War. Thus, the HVSS is rendered accurately in minute detail with multiple parts to ensure accuracy. The T80 tracks are well rendered too, Perhaps the most eye-catching aspect to this kit is the set of the decals produced by Cartograf. These markings include bold and colorful teeth and eyes for the front of the tank hull, a design intended to instill fear in any enemy combatants they encountered. With the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean War rapidly approaching, this is a fine kit for modelers to create a tank or a dioramic scene from that conflagration.

Product: 1:72 Bundeswehr Leopard 2A6

The Panther and Tiger I were very important German tanks in WWII, and the country continued the cat theme with its post-war tank programs. First came the Leopard 1, followed by the Leopard 2 that was developed in the 1970s during the Cold War. The Leopard 2 was adopted by the Bundeswehr (German Army) in 1979. Two of the more recent variants are the Leopard 2A5 and 2A6, both distinguished by their angled arrow-shaped turret armor. Meanwhile, the main difference in the Leopard 2A6 is the addition of Rheinmetall’s longer-caliber L/55 120mm gun instead of the L/44 one. The Leopard has been successfully exported to numerous countries in Europe as well as much farther afield, but it remains the backbone of the Bundeswehr’s panzer force.

Dragon Armor Pro has another Leopard 2 model kit in 1/72 scale available too, this time featuring the even more modern Leopard 2A6. Indeed, it accurately depicts this specific tank version, and obvious on this model is the longer L/55 main gun barrel. Again, the spaced armor on the turret is particularly well done, with the associated bolt heads all sharply rendered. The kit assembles easily, creating an admirable scale model of the Leopard 2A6 that equips the modern-day Bundeswehr. So much so, that this kit will have model-makers purring with delight!

Product: 1:72 IJA Type 2 "Ka-Mi" Amphibious Tank

Dragon is reproducing a pair of 1/72 scale Japanese tanks from WWII. The set includes a Japanese Type 2 "Ka-Mi" amphibious tank and a Type 97 Chi-Ha Late-Production medium tank. The former was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy, while the latter was operated by the Japanese army in WWII. Both types fought on Saipan in the Mariana Islands from June 15 to July 9, 1944. Capture of the island by US troops allowed American B-29 Superfortress bombers to directly target Japan from Saipan

The two 1/72 scale kits allow modelers to field tanks that were used in both tropical and temperate regions of Asia, as well as countering the Pacific island-hopping campaign of the USA and the Allies. Decals for both Japanese tank types fighting on Saipan are certainly among the options. Fully utilizing Dragon’s technological expertise, this brace of little tanks is a masterpiece of accurate kit engineering. They come with one-piece tracks, for instance, for easy assembly. Detail is delicately but realistically reproduced. Even though they might be small tanks in this scale, reflecting the fact that Japanese tanks were relatively small compared to those of other combatants in WWII, these are still extremely stunning little packages from Dragon Armor Pro Series!

Dragon proudly introduces agaom such an ERA-equipped Bradley to the 1/72 series of model kits. The frontal, side and turret ERA is fully represented, and all necessary components to model different version are present. This popular modern subject is highly detailed, with photo-etched parts and numerous items that can be assembled in open or closed positions. Such is the case with the TOW launcher, which can be portrayed in either the launch or travel mode. For easy-assembly, new one-piece belt-type tracks are included. Moreover, new-tooled backpacks can be stowed on the vehicle. The relaunch of this fantastic Bradley kit marks a new "ERA" in the world of 1/72 scale models!

Product: 1:72 M3A2 ODS Bradley

After making an impressive combat appearance in the 1991 Gulf War, the M2A2 was further modified based on lessons learned. The resulting variant was known as the M2A2 ODS, standing for Operation Desert Storm. Main changes were a laser rangefinder, tactical navigation system, thermal imager for the driver, an MRE heater, missile countermeasure device and Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below system. A squad of seven infantrymen could be seated in the rear of the vehicle.

Dragon is now offering a fine 1/72 scale plastic model kit of this ODS version of the M2A2 Bradley. Brand new are soldiers’ backpacks that can be attached to the hull sides of the Bradley IFV, something commonly seen in combat zone photos. For convenience’s sake, the tracks are one-piece types. All in all, this is a well-engineered kit that assembles into a realistic-looking kit.

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

Dragon Armor Pro has yet another brand new Panzer IV tank in 1/72 scale available for modelers wishing to expand the number of variants in this important tank family. This kit depicts the Panzer IV Ausf.J Early-Production. About 3,160 Ausf.J units were produced from February 1944 through till April 1945. In most respects, the Ausf.J was a retrograde from the previously produced Ausf.H, a necessity imposed on Germany to simplify production as the war progressed. For example, there was no electric generator for the turret traverse, so the turret had to be rotated manually. Pistol and vision ports on the turret side hatches were removed too.

This latest 1/72 scale kit possesses the ultimate level of detail. For example, it has a newly tooled lower hull possessing different details on the bottom. It shows the correct identifying features of an Early-Production Ausf.J. Yet another small niche in the Panzer IV family has been filled with this new kit, and modelers can enjoy obtaining the whole range that reflects the history of the Panzer IV.

Product: 1:72 Fallschirmjäger /Kingtiger Henschel

One of the most impressive AFVs to participate in the Battle of the Bulge, Germany’s unexpected last roll of the die when it attacked through the Ardennes forest in WWII, was Kingtiger. Such tanks were accompanied by members of the 3rd Fallschirmjäger Division, elite paratroopers of the Luftwaffe, during the sudden massed attack launched on 16 December 1944. However, neither these battle-hardened troops nor the mighty Kingtiger tanks could turn the tide of the war, and the German counteroffensive petered out by 25 January 1945.

Dragon is releasing a very handy new 1/72 scale kit of a Kingtigerw with Henschel turret. What makes this release unique is the inclusion of EIGHT figures representing members of the 3rd Fallschirmjäger Division alongside the mighty tank. This means a diorama scene can be created straight from the box, with the figures riding on the rear engine deck of the Henschel-turreted tank. The paratroopers are well equipped and can be armed with various kinds of weapons. Meanwhile, Dragon has captured this mighty Kingtiger tank to perfection in the 1/72 scale model kit. In the past, these Fallschirmjäger figures could only be obtained by purchasing two separate sets, but now they come in one convenient kit.

Product: 1:72 IJA Type 97 "Chi-Ha" Saipan 1944 LP

Dragon is reproducing a pair of 1/72 scale Japanese tanks from WWII. The set includes a Japanese Type 2 "Ka-Mi" amphibious tank and a Type 97 Chi-Ha Late-Production medium tank. The former was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy, while the latter was operated by the Japanese army in WWII. Both types fought on Saipan in the Mariana Islands from June 15 to July 9, 1944. Capture of the island by US troops allowed American B-29 Superfortress bombers to directly target Japan from Saipan

The two 1/72 scale kits allow modelers to field tanks that were used in both tropical and temperate regions of Asia, as well as countering the Pacific island-hopping campaign of the USA and the Allies. Decals for both Japanese tank types fighting on Saipan are certainly among the options. Fully utilizing Dragon’s technological expertise, this brace of little tanks is a masterpiece of accurate kit engineering. They come with one-piece tracks, for instance, for easy assembly. Detail is delicately but realistically reproduced. Even though they might be small tanks in this scale, reflecting the fact that Japanese tanks were relatively small compared to those of other combatants in WWII, these are still extremely stunning little packages from Dragon Armor Pro Series!

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

"Dragon’s Armor Pro series has a fantastic new 1/72 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 1/72 scale kit allows modelers to produce a Tiger I specific to Gruppe Fehrmann. The Tigers of this unit had an eclectic mix of early and late features, such as an Early-Production turret mated to a Late-Production chassis/hull. To add detail, there are preformed metal exhaust covers and a selection of photo-etched parts. For modelers wishing to depict a more unusual subject from the desperate last days of WWII, this kit of a Gruppe Fehrmann Tiger I is the perfect solution!"

Product: 1:72 M4A2 Tarawa

A volute spring is a compression spring shaped in the form of a cone, and the result is greater stability and power under compression than what a leaf, coil or torsion bar spring cam provide. Indeed, American tanks of WWII mounted such volute springs in a road wheel bogie that contained two road wheels in a very compact unit. This is all known as the Vertical Volute Suspension System (VVSS), and it was used on the famous M3 Stuart, M3 Lee and M4 Sherman tanks of WWII vintage.

Dragon has now pulled together a small assortment of two 1/72 scale Armor Pro kits depicting Sherman tanks with the original VVSS. Their VVSS assemblies are rendered accurately in minute detail with multiple parts to ensure complete accuracy and faithfulness to the original suspension type. These small-scale Sherman kits are very well engineered, so modelers can be assured of an extremely smooth and bump-free assembly.

Continuing with its 2-in-1 kit releases in the popular 1/72 Warbirds range, Dragon brings an attractive item allowing modelers to build either a P-61A or P-61B night-fighter as flown by the US Army Air Forces during WWII. The P-61 Black Widow, named after a North American spider, is significant because it was the first operational warplane designed from the outset to use a radar. The twin-boom fighter had a crew of three (pilot, gunner and radar operator), and it boasted four 20mm Hispano M2 cannons and four 12.7mm M2 Browning machine guns. The first of 706 production P-61s rolled off the production line in October 1943, and it remained in service till 1954.

There has been a considerable gap since either of Dragon's previous P-61 appeared on shop shelves. But now Dragon’s immensely practical 2-in-1 philosophy permits modelers to choose either one to build. ! All the characteristic elements necessary to assemble either of these Black Widow variants is included in the box. Detail levels are sharp, and the kit builds up into an accurate representation of this American night-fighter that flew in many different theaters of war in WWII.

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.

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!

Dragon has come up with a fantastic new German soft-skin vehicle! Appearing in 1/72 scale for the first time from Dragon comes a Kfz.70 Personnel Carrier. This popular truck design served throughout WWII after mass production commenced in 1933. A total of about 7,000 trucks were produced up till 1942. This 6x4 vehicle was powered by an air-cooled 3.308-liter flat-four engine. The horizontal engine gave rise to the truck’s distinctive sharply sloped nose, and also to its nickname "Boxer". The truck was used for all kinds of purposes, and was commonly employed for towing light artillery such as the 3.7cm Pak 35/36 antitank cannon.

Everything is newly tooled on this delightful truck model. The parts separation on Dragon’s Kfz.70 is smartly done, allowing full detail to be reproduced both above and below the chassis. The wheels and independent coil spring suspension are masterfully represented. The raking hood is produced in one piece with the front fenders to simplify construction and to increase accurate assembly. The front windshield is made from transparent plastic to allow more realism. To make the model even more appealing and valuable, the kit comes with a 3.7cm PaK 36/37 antitank cannon. Modelers can thus portray the truck towing this gun, even though it remains a Kfz.70 version. This 6x4 truck was a workhorse of the German military during WWII, and Dragon has come up with an equally robust and versatile model to populate dioramas or to cart German soldiers around the battlefield!

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!
