Announced for January 2008 on the Dragon Models USA website (parts of the text and pictures taken from there):


DRR 60350 1/72 AAVR7A1 Assault Amphibian Vehicle, Recovery
The AAV7A1 is able to operate on both land and sea with equal ease, and it has seen extensive service in Iraq since Operation Iraqi Freedom kicked off in 2003. While the Personnel variant is the most common one, another version is a specialist recovery vehicle known as the AAVR7A1. Dragon now offers such a AAVR7A1 in the Dragon Armor range of fully built-up die-cast models.


DRR 60352 1/72 "Operation Iraqi Freedom" - HMMWV M1025 w/ASK Task Force 1-77, LSA Anaconda, Iraq 2004, & M1114 1-36 Infantry 1st Armored Division, Baghdad 2004 (Diorama with two vehicles)


DRR 61020 1/35 Tiger I Late Production Pz.Abt.301 Köln 1945
This new arrival is a Late Production variant, meaning it has characteristic features like steel road wheels and a monocular sight in the mantlet to the right of the gun barrel. This amazing model shows tank number 213 of Pz.Abt.301.
This tank unit supported Heeres Gruppe B in the Ardennes offensive in late 1944, where it paid a heavy toll in vehicles destroyed. Numerous Tigers were lost in the fighting in late December through to early January, before the remainder withdrew to refit in the Köln area of Germany.

I do not know much about (or care much for) the modern vehicles, but is a late model Tiger I without Zimmerit really correct, even in 1945?

No, ALL late Tiger I's had Zimmerit.. Zimmerit was only discontinued after the Tiger I was out of production..

Dragon is releasing a kit Stug42. This would suggest a built version would follow. Hoepfully we will see that and the Brumbar next year.

I'd love to buy the Diorama base by itself. I already have the two HMMWVs in my collection.

Harry, didn't the King Tigers also have zimmerit? Was the Tiger I still in production after the King Tiger was introduced?

Yes, all late Tiger Is had zimmerit. As regards King Tigers, all models with the Porsche turret had zimmerit, and so had the earlier batches with the Henschel turret (most had not, as zimmerit was discontinued in September 1944).

I wonder if we will ever see a 1/35 Abrams from Dragon.
