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

Dragon 1/35 M3A1 Half Track

The iconic American Half Track is well represented in Dragon's M3 variants. It was extensively modified, well produced and lasted for decades in the service of armies of many countries. The model is highly detailed and fiddly in places, [...]

Broken models: Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz 7 20mm Flak

Accidents happen. These are the remains of a 20mm Flak gun on the platform of a Sd.Kfz. 7 half track. It was detached from the platform on route to the "photo studio." I have the habit of not gluing sub-assemblies that settle in [...]

Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn

The Nashorn was a tank destroyer developed as an interim solution to combat increasing armor threats in the battlefield. It was based primarily on the Panzer IV chassis and the 88mm PAK 43 gun. The Nashorn is a favorite topic of mine since [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88G-6
