Features: - New photo-etched rocket crates - 28cm incrediary projectiles (x6) included - Three mounting plates accurately reproduced in different pattern - Delicate launcher frames with subtle details - Road wheels injected as a unit - convenient to assemble and saves time - Photo-etched parts upgrading details - Cartograf decal offers accurate marking - DS one-pieces tracks Germany’s Sd.Kfz. 251 halftrack series proved highly versatile throughout WWII, and numerous variants were produced over the course of its life. One version was the Stuka zu Fuss mounting the Wurfrahmen 40 rocket launcher system, ideal for providing a heavy bombardment capability to panzergrenadier units. Dragon is now going to release such a vehicle in Ausf.D version. The Ausf. D hull featured a simplified construction, thus making production easier for Germany’s overstrained industry. This 1/72 scale Sd.Kfz. 251 halftrack model is highly detailed with accurate dimensions. The six rocket launcher frames mounted on the hull are reproduced by new photo-etched parts. The Stuka zu Fuss offered a heavy weapon to German motorized units, and Dragon's offers modelers an excellent new choice in halftracks! This existing release provides some serious firepower to modelers. Per saperne di più

- Newly tooled Sd.Kfz.223 Leichte Panzerspa"hwagen delicately produced - Realistic bed-frame antenna included - Finely molded hull w/detail - Full fighting comaprtment w/detail - Finely-molded jerry cans included - Delicate MG 34 included - Photo-etched turret shields can be assembled open/closed - Chassis presented in full details - On-vehicle tools sharply produced - Intricate external stowage included - Realistic-looking headlamps included - Well-shaped driver's seat - Delicate wheels w/authentic tread pattern Earlier in 2011 Dragon released a 1/72 scale plastic kit of the Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspa"hwagen. This little German 4x4 armored car was used for reconnaissance purposes. Early in WWII, the Sd.Kz.221 family performed well enough as reconnaissance vehicles for panzer divisions, although their off-road capability let them down. Now Dragon is offering another vehicle in the family – the Sd.Kfz.223, which was basically a modified Sd.Kfz.221 with a long-range radio set. Its function is belied by the prominent frame antenna that was mounted above the hull. This radio allowed it to stay in touch with roving reconnaissance vehicles on the battlefield. A total of 550 Sd.Kfz.223 vehicles were made between 1935 and 1944. As on the Sd.Kfz.221, a machine gun was installed in the small turret. The new Sd.Kfz.223 kit features new parts to create this specific variant. For example, the upper hull is a completely new item. The turret and rectangular antenna are obviously new too. The kit makes use of Dragon’s highest engineering expertise, meaning the armored radio car is well designed and easily assembled despite its diminutive size in this scale. The mesh that covers the turret is supplied as a photo-etched part so that it remains true to scale. Adding to its appeal is a set of jerry cans that can be stowed on the nose of the vehicle to give it longer range when performing recces. This little reconnaissance vehicle is the perfect vehicle to stay in touch with the Sd.Kfz.222s that modelers may already have in their reconnaissance forces! Per saperne di più

Sd.Kfz. 234/2 Puma. Possibly the best known of all German armoured cars was the PUMA. This eight-wheel vehicle, well ahead of its time, had much influence on British, French, Russian, Dutch and other armoured cars. The German war machinery was however no longer in a position to produce enough of these vehicles to substantially help the war effort. Per saperne di più

Newly tooled LRDG patrol car Sand channel molded on side of vehicle Detailed dashboard & driver's compartment Accurately shaped front fenders w/details Slide-molded chassis Well-defined wheels w/authentic tire tread pattern Wheels are produced in separate parts Spare wheel included in rear compartment Realistic Lewis gun produced Intricate engine grille POW cans included Delicate spade reproduced Lee-Enfield rifles mounted beside driver's cab Rolled tarpaulins w/detachable brackets fitted on front fenders The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was a highly effective unit that roved far behind enemy lines in North Africa during WWII. It gathered intelligence, performed reconnaissance and conducted attacks from mid-1940 through to April 1943. Yet the elite unit never exceeded 350 men in strength at any one time. To successfully negotiate the desert sands, the LRDG used vehicles such as the Willys Jeep and other stripped-down trucks. Perhaps the vehicle most readily associated with the LRDG is the two-wheel-drive patrol car. It entered service in March 1942 and it became an LRDG mainstay. The sturdy Canadian-manufactured vehicles carried sand channels, jerry cans, a sun compass, sometimes a wireless, improved radiator cooling system and low-pressure desert tires. They were fitted with weapons such as Lewis guns, Vickers medium machine guns and the Vickers K. Dragon has produced an all-new 1/72 scale plastic model of a typical-looking vehicle operating with the famous LRDG. The model utilizes brand new toolings, with the chassis made as a single piece. Upon this chassis is assembled a slide-molded front body that has integral fenders and front grill. This single component accurately depicts the well-known front end of this truck type. The rear body is also made as a one-piece component for easy assembly and accurate alignment. The extra-large10.50 x 20 sand tires are crisply detailed, and the appropriate tread pattern is finely replicated. This is an exciting 1/72 model kit from Dragon, and the truck would make a perfect centerpiece of a dynamic diorama set in North Africa. Per saperne di più

Features: Exquisite Type 2 w/floating pontoons newly produced Exhaust pipe w/photo-etched cover realistically produced Rail on front pontoon included Intricate hydroscope molded on turret Delicate conning tower included Hatch on upper hull can be assembled open/closed Injection-molded float attachments w/crisp details True-to-scale ultra-thin propellers One-piece upper hull made from 3-directional slide mold Ventilation grill produced in maximum detail 3-directional slide-molded one-piece lower hull Intricate idler wheels and return rollers accurately produced Sprocket wheels w/breathtaking detail Suspension system offers easy assembly One-piece DS track reproduced Dragon has already produced a stunning 1/72 scale kit of the Japanese Type 2 "Ka-Mi" amphibious tank. The "Ka Mi" was the first amphibious tank used by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). It was designed for Japanese landing forces performing amphibious invasions of Pacific islands not possessing regular port facilities. Production of the Type 2 commenced in 1942 and a total of 184 amphibious tanks were made. When used in water, large pontoons were attached to the glacis plate and rear deck to give it a top speed of 10km/h in water. These pontoons could be shed as soon as the vehicle reached land. Based on the Type 2 "Ka-Mi" released, brand new parts consists of the special set of floating pontoons (early production), conning tower and hydroscope on turret. Slide molds are widely employed, with upper hull and lower hull components both made as single pieces, for example. The kit is closely based on measurements taken from a surviving Type 2 tank on Palau to ensure this kit is accurately dimensioned. The "Ka-Mi" also includes DS tracks for easy assembly of the complicated track links. The previous Type 2 kit was a huge success, and this version with the amphibious kit offers so much more by allowing modelers to depict it in a scenario where the tank is seen wading ashore. All in all, this is a swimmingly good kit! Per saperne di più

The truck entered service in March 1942 and these sturdy vehicles carried sand channels, jerry cans, a sun compass, sometimes a wireless, improved radiator cooling system and low-pressure desert tires. They were fitted with weapons such as Lewis guns, Vickers medium machine guns and the Vickers K. Some were even fitted with 2cm guns that had been captured from Italian forces. It was a 20mm antiaircraft gun widely used by Italy in WWII. Of course, the 330kg weapon could also be used against ground targets. Dragon earlier produced an all-new 1/72 scale plastic model of a standard LRDG patrol truck (Item No.7439). This proved a very popular subject, particularly for those interested in the North African theater of combat. That model utilized brand new toolings, with a single-piece chassis and a slide-molded front body with integral fenders and front grill. Now the kit has been joined by a truck that boasts even more firepower. All new for this kit is an intricate replica of the 2cm gun. The detailed weapon fits onto the rear body, which is a one-piece component for easy assembly and accurate alignment. The extra-large 10.50 x 20 sand tires are crisply detailed too. This is an exciting 1/72 model kit from Dragon, and it will make the perfect companion for the standard LRDG patrol truck as they roam the sands of North Africa! Per saperne di più
