Re: Today's Dragons in the U.K.

Hi guys,

Here are a few recent announcements and a couple of pics from the toybox site :

US SHERMAN M4A3 (105mm gun) HVSS, 713th TANK BATTALION OKINAWA 1945 ( no picture as yet! )( model no. DR60315, due September, 2007 ) ;

and :
SOVIET SU-100 7th MECHANIZED CORPS, HUNGARY 1945 ( model number DR60299, due August, 2007 )

Probably better modelled and more accurate than the FOV version, but is it as pretty?

and in 1.35 : KING TIGER Henschel Turret w/Zimmerit s.Pz.Abt.506 Ardennes 1945
King Tiger Henschel Turret w/Zimmerit s.Pz.Abt.506 Western Front 1945 Weighing 69.8 tons, Germany’s King Tiger tank entered production in mid-1944. It was an impressive vehicle, and being the final tank design to enter production during WWII, it could be seen as the pinnacle of German tank design. The King Tiger was armed with an 8.8cm KwK 43 L/71 gun and its frontal armour was up to 180mm thick. Such a formidable fighting machine had weaknesses though, since its heavy bulk and underpowered engine meant it wasn’t as mobile as it should have been. Dragon Armor has launched its second fantastic fully built-up 1/35 scale model of a Tiger II. This Henschel production version of the King Tiger is based on a tank from 3./s.PzAbt 506 that fought on the Western Front in 1945. Dragon's Zimmerit antimagnetic mine paste has been carefully and realistically crafted and textured to scale. The camouflage scheme features red-brown stripes over a yellow base, along with the tactical markings painted over the Zimmerit coating.
