Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M w/Wading Maffler. Delicate Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M newly produced 5cm Kw.K L/60 gun w/delicate detail One-piece turret reproduced One-piece lower hull w/detailed suspension swing arms reproduced Finely detailed hull bottom weld seams Smoke grenade launchers and hatches on turret sides Accurately represented jack, cooling air intakes and tool box w/padlock On-vehicle tools molded on fenders Injection-molded tow cables for engine deck Detailed stowage bin Water-resistant muffler w/realistic detail Accurate return rollers, road wheels and idler wheels One-piece DS tracks 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! Per saperne di più

Sd.Kfz.222 Leichte Panzerspähwagen. Features: - Newly tooled Sd. Kfz.222 Leichte Panzerspa"hwagen delicately produced - Finely molded hull w/detail - Full fighting compartment w/detail - Realistic 2cm KwK 30 L/55 autocannon and MG 34 included - Photo-etched turret can be assembled open/closed - Sharply reproduced on-vehicle tools - Features finely rendered taillights - Realistic-looking headlamps included - Intricate engine cooling grill included - Finely molded jerry can and cargo included - Chassis presented in full details - Delicate wheels w/authentic tread pattern - Well-shaped driver's seat To support its mobile concept of modern warfare, Germany introduced a wide range of tracked and wheeled armored vehicles. One wheeled family of vehicles introduced in 1936 included 4x4 armored cars known as the Leichter Panzerspa"hwagen, which translates as “Light Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle.” Powered by a Horch engine, these vehicles were based on a Horch 801 heavy car chassis to which an armored body was added. Early in WWII it performed well enough as a reconnaissance vehicle for panzer divisions, although its off-road capability let it down. The base model was the Sd.Kfz.221, but Dragon is introducing a model of the derivative known as the Sd.Kfz.222. The latter vehicle is armed with a 2cm KwK.30 L/55 cannon and MG34 machine gun in an open-top turret. Three men operated the Sd.Kfz.222. Interestingly, as well as being operated by China, a dozen Sd.Kfz.222 armored cars were also sold to China. At the last Tokyo Hobby Show, Dragon announced a whole new series of 1/72 scale kits. The first of these is the famous little Sd.Kfz.222. As a special introductory offer, Dragon is including two complete Sd.Kfz.222 models in the box. The two vehicles are supplied with different markings. These kits make use of Dragon’s highest engineering expertise, meaning the armored car is well designed and easily assembled. The mesh that covers the turret is supplied as a photo-etched part so that it remains true to scale. This little reconnaissance vehicle is the perfect vehicle to lead off Dragon’s newly tooled collection of 1/72 vehicle kits! Per saperne di più

Newly tooled Neubau-Fahrzeug Nr.2 Newly produced turret molded w/bolt detail Slide-molded 7.5cm KwK L/24 and 3.7cm KwK L/45 Slide-molded turret w/MG reproduced Slide-molded upper hull produced w/intricate details Complicated exhaust system accurately formed Delicated engine deck reproduced Headlamp on front hull can be folded up/down Side fenders w/pattern detail Intricately molded on-vehicle tools Drive sprockets and idler wheels accurately recreated One-piece suspension system produced for easy assembly Delicate DS tracks produced Germany’s first attempt at creating a heavy tank commenced in the early 1930s. Known as the Neubau-Fahrzeug (“New Construction Vehicle”), it was not a success. Slow-moving and boasting multiple turrets, it was ill equipped for the type of rapid, mobile warfare that Blitzkrieg tactics required. For this reason, only five Neubau-Fahrzeug heavy tanks were built. The first two prototypes were manufactured by Rheinmetall-Borsig (Rh-B) in 1934 out of mild steel. Armament included a 7.5cm KwK L/24 main gun, 3.7cm KwK L/45 cannon and two 7.92mm machine guns. Dragon has already produced two 1/72 scale kits of the Neubau-Fahrzeug that cover vehicle numbers 1 and 3-5. Now comes the final vehicle – Nr.2, a prototype that was used in a training school until its retirement in 1940. The kit includes a number of brand new parts that allow modelers to build this specific vehicle. While the turret looks similar to Nr.3, in fact it’s different, as evidenced by details such as the pattern of rivets on the top plate. The smaller turret is a new tooling as well, with its own distinctive shape. The exhaust pipes on the right fender are also unique to this prototypical vehicle. The entire upper hull is made from a single piece of while the intricate road wheels are assembled as one piece. With the release of this final kit in the family, modelers can now own the complete set of Neubau-Fahrzeug! Per saperne di più

Features: New 2cm MG 151/20 Flak cannons can be adjusted to different elevations Hollow cannon muzzles Delicate cupola molded on Flakpanzer 341 Detailed design for rear plate and stowage boxes Engine deck w/delicate details Armored side skirts reproduced Slide-molded upper hull w/full detail Intricate road wheels One-piece DS tracks At the start of WWII the Luftwaffe ruled the skies, but this dominance was gradually overturned as the war progressed. This led to a dire need for more antiaircraft vehicles for ground forces, and early efforts at producing a Flakpanzer centered on utilizing the Panzer IV chassis. However, the famous German Panther medium tank was also used as a platform for developmental work, with the Coelian perhaps being the best-known example. In May 1943, a proposed Rheinmetall design showed two pairs of Vierling MG151/20 antiaircraft cannons mounted in a Turm Panther II. This turret was heavily armored and it featured the pairs of cannons offset from each other and mounted at different heights. This Flakpanther 341 mit 2cm Flakvierling design never advanced much further…except in terms of Dragon’s superb new 1/72 scale plastic kit! The kit uses the finely detailed chassis of previous kits, to which are added a brand new turret and flak cannons. Parts fit together accurately, as is to be expected of Dragon’s high engineering standards. Although this particular antiaircraft vehicle never entered production, it makes for a fascinating modeling subject that gives plenty of scope for customization and creativity. For starters, it can be painted in an intriguing camouflage scheme! Per saperne di più

Features: Newly designed VK.45.02(P)H Newly tooled upper hull w/details Slide-molded lower hull w/bolt details Delicate engine deck reproduced Delicate turret reproduced Interlocking plates realistically rendered on both hull and turret Set of on-vehicle tools comes w/clamps Delicately detailed suspension system Road wheels accurately reproduced Highly detailed sprocket wheels Hooks added on front of hull One-piece DS tracks Dragon previously released a mightily impressive 1/35 scale kit of the VK.45.02(P)H prototype, which had the Krupp turret mounted well to the rear of the hull. This configuration produced a most unique profile for the heavy tank. Now the same vehicle is available in 1/72 scale! The one-piece upper hull is a brand new molding. The unique deck layout includes accurate details. The hull also carries the Porsche turret later assigned to the Tiger II. There are also easy-to-assemble DS tracks. The "H" version of this Porsche prototype offers modelers something new to turn their creative talents to. Per saperne di più
