Dragon

Dragon’s kit of the Sexton II, while it bears a striking similarity to the M7 Priest, is most definitely a brand new kit. It features a brand new fighting compartment, new armor plates, a new engine deck and an all-new interior. Obviously, the design team went right back to basics to create this kit. The main armament makes use of the 25-pdr Field Gun kit that Dragon introduced before, although even this had to be modified to allow for the special mount that allowed its installation. The muzzle brake is made from scratch too. Furthermore, the chassis is starkly different to that used on the Priest. Meanwhile, the bogies and road wheels stem from the high-quality Sherman kits that Dragon is renowned for. Indeed, this new Dragon Sexton II is an answer to many a modeler’s prayers!

Dragon has already fielded its popular and highly acclaimed 1/35 scale kit of the M1A1, but it too has undergone its own enhancement program! The result is a spectacular M1A2 SEP kit that possesses many completely new parts such as a VCSU (Vapor Compression System Unit) box, GPS-LOS device, the commander’s cupola and the thermal viewer peculiar to this version. This is not just a kit with a minor facelift, for all new parts have been carefully designed using Dragon’s advanced engineering processes. The front fenders are new, while the side skirts can be shown open and the suspension arms can be modeled in a range of positions. The liberal inclusion of photo-etched parts (e.g. air intake grills) and metal items (e.g. gun barrel) contribute to a world-beating model. This updated M1A2, with all its enhanced technological updates from Dragon, is ready to spearhead the war against any terrorist, insurgent or armored foe! Per saperne di più

Flakpanzer IV Ausf.G Wirbelwind Early Production Per saperne di più

Dragon has produced a fantastic 1/35 scale plastic kit of the Flakpanzer IV Ostwind. Owing to the turret being open-topped, all the relevant details on the gun and inside the turret are well represented. The cannon is particularly well defined and the barrel can be posed in any one of several different angles depending on whether the modeler has an aerial or ground target in view. The hull also carries a readymade Zimmerit coating that is masterfully represented. Inside the box, modelers will find many slide-molded plastic components. This latest kit from Dragon allows modelers to create the Flakpanzer IV Ostwind that was used by Flugabwehrzug (antiaircraft platoons) to protect units from marauding aircraft late in the war.
