These two came in today. WOW!
I've thoroughly examined these two models, and I can assure you they don't come any better! Both types have been well researched by Dragon, and their overall shape, proportions, and detailing are second to none. Also, both my samples were in perfect condition with no misfits to care about.
Elowee was included in the 2nd Armored (Hell on Wheels) Division during Operation Cobra, General Bradley's successful plan to break out of the Normandy bridgehead, which directly led to the Falaise gap and the race across France and into Germany. The paint scheme and realistic weathering are beautifully rendered.
The half-track belonged to the Wehrmacht's
Panzerlehrdivision at the time of their stand at Saint-Lô, which means that both models were engaged in the same battle (opposites sides, of course) late in July 1944, when the final stages of Operation Cobra finally disrupted German defensive positions.
The pictures enclosed are from the Flying Mule online shop; go there for more pictures of these two vehicles. And don't forget to add these two to your collection if you like "excellent" models.
