Exquisite Type 2 newly produced One-piece upper hull made from 3-directional slide mold Ventilation grill produced in maximum details 3-directional slide-molded one-piece lower hull Hatch on turret can be assembled open/closed True-to-scale ultra-thin propellers Injection molded float attachments w/crisp details Intricate idler wheels and return rollers accurately produced Sprocket wheels w/breathtaking detail Suspension system offers easy assembly One-piece DS track reproduced Dragon earlier produced a simply stunning 1/35 scale Smart Kit of the Japanese Type 2 “Ka-Mi” amphibious tank, and now it has been used as a platform to create a 1/72 plastic kit. The Type 2 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 that didn’t have regular port facilities. Production commenced in 1942 and a total of 184 Type 2 amphibious tanks were made, although the design was too late to participate in Japan’s island-hopping campaign. When used in water, large pontoons were attached to the glacis plate and rear deck to give it a top speed of 10km/h. These pontoons could be shed as soon as it reached land. The turret featured a 3.7cm Type 1 gun and coaxial Type 97 machine gun. Dragon’s 1/72 scale kit uses 100% new toolings. Fully utilizing Dragon’s technological expertise, the result is another masterpiece of accurate kit engineering. The upper hull and lower hull components are both made as single pieces thanks to the employment of slide molds. The kit is closely based on measurements taken from a surviving tank on Peleliu (present-day Palau). This ensures that the kit of the Type 2 tank without its flotation pontoons is accurately dimensioned. The Ka-Mi also includes DS tracks for easy assembly of the complicated track links. This is a swimmingly good kit, a fitting counterpart to its larger 1/35 brother! Per saperne di più

Due to its low cost and great reliability the troop carrier M113 presented itself as a valid base for various anti-tank weapons systems such as TOW missiles or an anti-aircraft gun such as this version. The M163 was developed around a 20 mm gun “Vulcan”. Rotating barrels (with a rapid fire power of 6000 rounds per minute) were created for anti-aircraft use. Per saperne di più

Features: - Newly produced Sd.Kfz.263 w/fine details - Well-defined vision ports on hull - Spade realistically molded - Slide molded upper hull - Slide-molded fenders w/on-vehicle tools - Underside of hull made by slide mold - Single MG34 mounted in superstructure - Telescoping mast antenna realistically replicated - Injection-molded tow cables reproduced - Highly detailed rear hull - Delicate grill on engine deck - Preformed frame antenna made from injection-molded plastic - Hatches on hull can be assembled open/closed - Chassis possesses full detail - Sharply reproduced cargo and jerry cans - Detailed wheels w/authentic tire tread pattern Dragon’s scintillating 1/72 scale kit of the Sd.Kfz.232 (Item No.7429) was enthusiastically greeted by modelers. Now Dragon is expanding the family with a brand new kit of the Sd.Kfz.263 built to an identical scale. The Sd.Kfz.263 was part of Germany’s successful 8-Rad (“eight-wheel”) Schwerer Panzerspa"hwagen (“heavy armored reconnaissance vehicle”) family. The 9.1-tonne Sd.Kfz.263 was designated a Funkspa"hwagen, a radio car, and as such it accommodated extra long-range radio equipment inside the fixed superstructure. It was used by reconnaissance units and had a top road speed of 85km/h. As well as a telescopic antenna, a large frame antenna was fitted above the superstructure to aid communications with headquarters and to help coordinate fighting units. Unlike the Sd.Kfz.232 on which it was based and that was armed with a 20mm cannon, this vehicle’s only armament was a 7.92mm MG34 machine gun. It operated with a crew of five, including two dedicated radio operators. Only 240 Sd.Kfz.263 vehicles were produced, but one of its most famous users was Erwin Rommel. Dragon has produced a brand new tooling for the upper hull of this 1/72 scale plastic kit. The complex item with multi-faceted plates is made as a single piece thanks to the employment of CAD drawings and high-tech slide-molding techniques. This ensures that modelers have an accurate and easy-to-assemble hull on which to base their miniature masterpiece. The Sd.Kfz.263 model also features a new one-piece frame antenna that is finely produced in scale. The unique shape of this 8x8 armored vehicle is beautifully captured, allowing modelers to operate Dragon’s Sd.Kfz.263 and Sd.Kfz.232 in tandem at the forefront of an early-war Per saperne di più

Merkava Israeli Tank The Merkawa tank was developed by the Israel Army as a result of its experiences during the countrys thirty-plus years of wars with nearby Arab states who were being equipped with increasingly modern Russian-built means.

1st time ever in 1/72 scale! This unusual recovery vehicle was a conversion of the Tiger (P) chassis, as used by the Ferdinand and Elefant tank destroyers, and had an extremely small production run. Their special equipment included a small derrick crane, rams and timber beams to aid in recovery operations. Now Dragon allows you to model this unique and interesting vehicle in a small scale, with just as much detail as its larger 1:35 brother! The detailed crane can be installed in the folded or operational positions, giving modelers the choice of how to display this rare subject. A host of details and newly tooled parts contribute to a busy and fascinating subject, the first time this vehicle has ever been produced in 1:72 scale. Main Features: - All newly tooled parts for the rear superstructure, upper hull, fenders and engine deck - The derrick crane can be portrayed as folded or deployed - Photo-etched parts for the crane’s chain - All hatches can be modeled in open or closed positions - Convenient one-piece tracks - High quality Cartograf decals Per saperne di più
