Dragon (also known as DML) range of scale model kits

Dragon 1/48 Messerschmitt Me 163S Habicht

The two seater version of the revolutionary rocket fighter. Only one aircraft of the Me 163S is known to have undergone experiments in the Soviet hands. The latter was extensively photographed and I am sure that this had helped [...]

Focke Wulf Fw 190S-8

A rare bird seldom photographed, but present in Hendon, the Focke Wulf 190 trainer variant. Here is a 1/48th kit bashed of Dragon and MPM where I used MPM's fuselage with a Dragon platform. I am not sure though about the accuracy of the [...]

Dragon 1/72 P-38M Night Lightning

A very nice kit by Dragon.

Dragon 1/48 Messerschmitt Me 262A-1a/U3 Reconnaissance

The Schwalbe also had a fair share of complex camouflage patterns. In this example, dark greens were painted over the light blue color. Then, the greens were removed by airbrushing a dilution fluid to highlight the underneath layer.

Dragon 1/48 Bf-110D Naghtjager

An excellent model by Dragon depicting the first dedicated Luftwaffe aircraft for night operations. The model is highly detailed and the FuG array required some attention to trim the poles to the appropriate scale. Flying surfaces are [...]

The model depicts a Messerschmitt jet that was used as a test bed for experiments on the FuG 218 'Neptune' 158-185 Mhz radar set and antennas. The results were later used for the development of the Me 262B night fighter variant. It was one [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88A-6/U

The Ju 88A-6/U variant was an upgrade of the failed anti-balloon role variant. It had its ventral gondola removed and added the FuG 200 search radar. These Junkers aircraft were used for marine reconnaissance and anti shipping roles thus, [...]

Yellow 10 Repainted: Fw 190D-13

Having posted my Dragon 1/48 Fw 190D-13 (link) I realized that much more information concerning the complex camouflage scheme came to light since the model was completed. Although my initial scheme was not entirely inaccurate, the model [...]

Dragon 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV L/70(V)

The Jagdpanzer IV / Sd.Kfz. 162, was a German tank destroyer based on the Panzer IV chassis with a 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48 gun. The muzzle break on the tank was removed in the field because its proximity to the ground, thus raisin clouds of [...]

Dragon 1/48 Fw 190D-13

The D-13 was the last operational variant of the Dora. The spectacular look of the aircraft in the Champlin Collection was an inspiration for me. At that time, the aircraft was displayed following the first restoration effort consisting of [...]
