Known for its speed and robust design, this vehicle was widely used in reconnaissance and support roles. The kit includes finely detailed parts, photo-etched components, and 6 decal options to represent different units. Its late modification details make it ideal for recreating scenes from the later stages of World War II. Perfect for collectors and modelers interested in German armored vehicles, this kit is a great addition to any WWII-themed collection or diorama.

The Panzerkampfwagen V “Panther” was undoubtedly one of the most famous tanks of the Second World War. It was developed as a direct response to the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks, which outclassed the now outdated Panzer III and Panzer IV on the Eastern Front in terms of performance and firepower. Powered by a 700-horsepower Maybach V-12 engine, it was armed with the highly effective high-velocity 75 mm KwK 42 gun, particularly suited for anti-tank use. Thanks to a well-designed layout that optimized protection—through the adoption of sloped frontal armor—mobility, speed, and firepower, the Panther can be considered one of the best tanks of the Second World War. It was employed on all major fronts, from Italy to France to the Eastern Front. The “D” version was the first to enter operational service on the battlefield.

This is a re-release model of the M60A3 tank. Together with the M1 Abrams, the M60A3 formed the core of U.S. tank forces during the 1980s. It featured a cast iron chassis that was inherited from the M48 tanks that first appeared in the 1950s, and was powered by a super-charged air-cooled diesel. The turret, too, was manufactured from cast iron, and was mounted with a 105mm gun with thermal sleeve to provide protection from barrel distortion. Other technologically-advanced additions at the time included a laser based rangefinder and ballistic computer, allowing the M60A3 to pack a fearsome punch. Production began in 1978, and the 3,600 examples produced went on to fulfil a leading military role for in excess of 20 years.  Features Length: 264mm, Width: 104mm. The turret depicts the cast iron finish of the real tank The model can be assembled with or without thermal sleeve attached to the main gun. Modelers can choose to construct the model with open or closed crew hatch. The driver's hatch is movable. Authentic suspension is recreated using separate parts. 3 sets of markings and a commander figure are included with the kit.

Germany employed a number of half-track vehicles during WWII, among them the prolific Sd.Kfz. 250 series. From transportation duties to communications vehicles, ammo carriers and more, they were truly versatile vehicles. The Sd.Kfz. 250/3 is rather well known for Rommel's having used it as a command car during the fighting in North Africa; he named it the Greif ("griffin"), appropriate for the vehicle which carried him as he seemed to swoop around North Africa trying to thwart Allied intentions. Features This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 137mm. From the frame antenna to the complex surfaces of the armor, the subject is captured in style. Realistic interior with details such as radio equipment. Maybach straight-six engine is expertly recreated in the front of the model. Link-type assembly tracks give an authentic finish. Comes with four figures including one depicting Rommel, plus decals for Rommel's vehicle and one each for North African and European Front AFVs.

The FV18001 Mk. 1 utility vehicle, widely recognised for its compact size and off-road performance, was a critical asset to the British Army in the post-war and Cold War periods.

Following Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) chose the M4 Sherman as its first mainstay tank. In the mid-1950s, the IDF purchased a sizable number of M4A1 Shermans, which were armed with the 76.2mm M1 gun, to counter Arab armies' T-34-85s. These tanks were designated M1 Super Sherman according to their armament in order to distinguish them from earlier variants equipped with 75mm guns. Many featured curved cast hulls, air-cooled radial gasoline engines, and Vertical Volute Spring Suspension (VVSS). They first saw action when the Suez Crisis broke out on October 29, 1956, and some soldiered on until the 1970s. Features 1/35 scale plastic assembly kit of the M1 Super Sherman. Length: 210mm, Width: 75mm. The distinctive form of the tank including its curved cast hull and 76mm main gun is accurately reproduced based on thorough study of a full-size museum exhibit. The model depicts a late-type vehicle featuring the muzzle brake and one-piece loader's hatch. Realistic VVSS details and T54E1 tracks. Commander and loader figures, plus 3 types of markings included. Model depicts the vehicle during the Suez Crisis which had vehicle numbers indicated on an Olive Drab hull.

Dragon item 6664 is a new combo set that includes both an Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.D and a 7.5cm PaK 40. Notably, it's also a 2-in-1 kit, allowing customers to assemble either a standard Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.D towing a 7.5cm PaK 40, or an Sd.Kfz.251/22 with the 7.5cm PaK 40 mounted on the fighting vehicle. The interior configurations of both fighting vehicles are faithfully reproduced respectively. This versatile kit meets the latest upgrade standards for the Sd.Kfz.251, featuring Ez-Track, an aluminium gun barrel, a 3D-printed muzzle brake, bonus early-type individual tracks as an option, metal width indicator poles, and three types of tarpaulin as bonus items. The kit provides customers with multiple configuration options to suit their diorama planning needs.

Dragon has already released a 1/35 scale kit of the American M4 Mortar Carrier, and has now backed it up with a new kit of its successor, the M21 Mortar Motor Carriage. The M21 had a number of improvements over the M4, chief of which was the vehicle being based on the longer M3 halftrack chassis. This extended length allowed the mounted mortar to fire towards the front (rather than rearwards as on the M4), and permitted the .50-cal machine gun to be mounted in a pedestal near the rear of the vehicle. The main armament of the M21 halftrack was obviously the M1 81mm mortar, which was supplied with 97 rounds. Another distinctive feature of the M21 was the fitting of stowage racks along the external sides of the fighting compartment. The M21 Mortar Carrier was used by both US and Free French forces during WWII. Dragon’s new 1/35 scale M21 kit is well appointed. The new rear door on the hull can be posed open or closed, while the fighting compartment itself is brand new to replicate the M21’s unique configuration. The whole of the open-topped fighting compartment is fully detailed, including a brand new M1 mortar with aluminum tube. The internal ammo racks are filled with newly tooled mortar rounds ready for firing. On the outside of the fighting compartment are brand new stowage racks, and here Dragon has come up with a neat solution. The external mine racks come as a pre-molded option with all the mines in place, or alternatively, a full set of individual mines can be affixed as chosen by the modeler. These separate mines come with photo-etched parts to provide heightened detail. To ensure this M21 is ready for action, Dragon also throws in a bonus driver figure. As can be seen, Dragon’s M21 has an exhaustive set of specifications that allow modelers to create a model full of individual flair! Features Newly tooled Mortar ammo in rack New arrangement of M21 fighting compartment cabin w/interior details MG w/hollow muzzle produced by slide molds Accurate rubber track modeled w/center guide band Full drive train assembly complete w/engine transmission, differential housing and suspension units One-piece chassis frame w/correct details Rear luggage rack can be assembled in folded or open mode New rear door can be assembled open or closed 81mm mortar gun barrel made from aluminum metal Rear panel w/crisp details Side armor peculiar to M21 Radio w/crisp detail Super-detailed multi-direction slide-molded sprocket wheels Bonus driver New ladder is finely reproduced for M21 Individual mines w/photo-etched parts External mine rack for M21 Optional one-piece external mine rack (w/mines inside) Multi-direction slide-molded idler wheels are superbly reproduced Tires intentionally shaped to mimic bulging caused by a heavy load Road wheels w/crisp details Slide-molded wheel couplings Hubcaps w/superb details Bogie assembly w/internal spring detail Differential housing comes w/bolt and rib details Steering mechanism in full detail Spring suspension is reproduced well Engine complete w/radiator and oil sump Headlights w/corresponding light guards Winch assembly especially for M21 Armored front grill w/accurate bolt details can be modeled in two modes: bonus individual photo-etched slats available for the open mode Engine hood w/detailed bolt and hinges Front window armor can be assembled open/closed; includes finely molded struts Front windshield made w/clear parts Photo-etched windshield wipers in fine details Photo-etched visors for armored window covers Detailed dashboard instrument panel Delicate steering wheel and controls Top half of cab doors can be assembled in swing-down position Jerry cans w/delicate strap details One-piece exhaust and muffler Rear tow hook is fully detailed Rear mud flaps made from photo-etched parts Sharply reproduced on-vehicle tools

The Pz.Kpfw VI (Sd.Kfz.181) Tiger is a German heavy tank from World War II, one of the most famous combat vehicles of that time. The German Panzerwaffe command had been carrying around the idea of a heavy tank since the beginning of the war, but the first attempts in the form of the Neubaufahrzeuge multi-tank were unsuccessful. In 1939 and 1940 they were conducted ineffectively, but after the clash with the T-34 and KW-1 on the eastern front, work on the new heavy tank sped up. On April 20, 1942, the prototype of the new tank, under the designation VK 4501 (H), underwent field trials in the presence of Adolf Hitler and was put into mass production shortly after. The first production versions were designated Pz.Kpfw VI Ausf.H1 (later Ausf.E). In the course of production, in the years 1942-1945, the tank was systematically modified by, for example, adding Feifell dust filters, different placement of headlights, modernization of optical equipment, changes to the commander's turret, etc. The drive was provided by a Maybach HL230 P45 12-cylinder carburetor engine with a capacity of 700 HP. The Pz.Kpfw VI tank, although it did not have such a contoured front hull as the T-34 or Pantera, was a heavily armored vehicle (frontal armor up to 120mm), armed with a very effective KwK 36 L / 56 88mm gun, which earned the reputation of being the most effective tank of the Second World War. It was a vehicle much better than the Allied M4 or Churchill and the Soviet T-34/76. He could also easily fight the IS-2 or M-26, surpassing them with the effectiveness of the main armament. On the other hand, the Pz.Kpfw VI had some disadvantages - first of all, it was extremely time-consuming to produce and had a very complicated suspension. In the later period of the war, the quality of the Tiger's armor also deteriorated, which resulted from the lack of access to the molybdenum deposits by the German economy. Despite these drawbacks, the Tiger on the battlefields proved to be a very effective weapon. He successfully fought in Tunisia, the Kursk Arch, Normandy and on the Eastern Front.

In 1933, the French Army tasked Renault with developing a new light reconnaissance tank to replace the unsatisfactory AMR 33. Despite achieving many improvements over its predecessor in terms of mobility, better design, robust suspension, a better-armed turret, fittings for a radio, and a more rugged and reliable engine, its overall performance was seen as unsatisfactory. Initially, it was plagued with mechanical unreliability that threatened to shut down the whole project. Eventually, these issues were somewhat resolved, and the vehicle entered production in 1935. However, the production run was limited, with less than 170 vehicles being built. When the war broke out with the Germans in May 1940, these tanks saw little use, being too lightly protected to offer any real combat value. Following the fall of France in June 1940, the Germans came into possession of huge stockpiles of captured armored vehicles and tanks. Hundreds of tanks were captured, many of them in working condition. Lacking a sufficient number of tanks, the German Army command decided to reuse many of them. Those that were more modern, such as the Somua S35, were employed by second-line troops dedicated to anti-insurgent operations. Other older designs, which the Germans deemed obsolete, were mainly allocated for limited garrison and security duties. Among the captured tanks was the AMR 35 light reconnaissance tank. In German service, these were known as Panzerspähwagen ZT 702(f). While not many were built in the first place, the captured vehicles were mainly operated in France, but some also saw service in the former Czechoslovak territory, performing security duties. In the closing stages of the war, these saw limited use against the Allies. Few were even used by the Germans to suppress the Prague Uprising in May 1945.

The JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle) is a newly developed tactical vehicle by the U.S. military, gradually replacing the aging Humvee high-mobility vehicles.

Further development of the Challenger 1 by Vickers Defence Systems resulted in the Challenger 2 MBT, of which 386 have been ordered by the British Army, with deliveries running from 1994 through to 2,000. Oman has ordered 18 Challenger 2 MBTs. With the introduction of Challenger 2, all remaining Chieftain and Challenger 1 MBTs will be phased out of service with the British Army. Although similar in appearance to Challenger 1, the Challenger 2 MBT has many improvements including a brand new turret armed with the latest 120mm L30 rifled tank gun firing a new APFSDS-T (Armour Piercing Fin Discarding Sabot Tracer) projectile with a depleted uranium penetrator. The new computerized fire control system, all electric gun control and stabilizing system, and stabilized sights for the commander and gunner give a high degree of first round hit probability under both day and night conditions. Standard equipment includes a thermal camera over the manlet of the 120mm gun which provides a picture for gunner and commander, as well as an NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) system, mounting points for additional fuel drums at the rear, and mounting points for a Combat Dozer Blade at the front of the hull.  Features The kit consists of over 190 parts Newly tooled parts in accurate detail Specification Model Dimension Length: 237.5mm Width: 81mm Total Plastic: 190+ Total Sprues: 7 sprues

The heavy armored car Sd. Kfz. 232 (Schwere Panzerspähwagen 232) was deployed by Wehrmacht units in the mid-thirties. The effective management of reconnaissance and radio communications between units was an essential feature of rapidly moving military operations known as "blitzkrieg". The armored car Sd.Kfz. 232 was a key component in meeting this need. The mobility of the six-wheeled vehicle, both on and off-road, was complemented by enhanced radio communications equipment which was equally effective over both short and long range. The armored car was fitted with a voluminous antenna frame which was then later replaced with a vertical antenna that ensured effective battlefield communications between commanders and troops. The turret armament provided sufficient firepower for both vehicle defense and on advanced reconnaissance missions. Includes New Decals For 4 Versions Color Instruction Sheet Specification Scale is 1:72 Size of the model is 8.5cm Box size is 25.8cm x 16.2cm x 3.8cm Decal sheet is included

As WWII progressed and German forces lost their air superiority amid fierce Allied raids in the sky, Germany looked to bolster ground to air defense with the development of self propelled anti-aircraft guns based upon tanks and half-track vehicles. The 8ton half-track (Sd.Kfz.7/2) was one of those such weapons. The half-track chassis employed had a proven track record towing 88mm guns, but was now fitted with its own 3.7cm anti-aircraft cannon that could fire 160 rounds per minute. Produced from 1943, later variants were also fitted with armor on the driver seat and radiator. Features This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 200mm, width: 70mm. The functional form of the vehicle is accurately captured, including a realistic depiction of the complex half-track suspension. The model can be assembled with its tailgate in raised or lowered position. Plastic netting is also included to raise realism. The 3.7cm anti-aircraft cannon features excellent attention to detail, right down to the breech and mount. Includes explosive and armor piercing shell parts.

The Flakpanzer V Ausf. A was a conceptual anti-aircraft tank based on the Panther chassis, developed as a potential successor to the Möbelwagen and Wirbelwind. Equipped with a turret mounting twin 3.7cm autocannons, the design was planned to utilize the Panther Ausf. D hull for greater armor and mobility. However, during the prototype phase, the firepower of the twin 3.7cm guns was deemed insufficient, and the project was ultimately cancelled. This 1/48 scale plastic model kit by Hobby Boss faithfully recreates this what-if design with sharp detail and historical accuracy, making it a unique addition for collectors and WWII armor enthusiasts. Features The kit consists of over 230 parts  Newly tooled parts in accurate detail Length: 125mm, Width: 45mm 5 sprues , upper hull and lower hull

The Challenger 1 was a British Main Battle Tank from the Cold War period. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in the mid-1970s, and serial production was carried out in 1982-1990. Over 400 vehicles of this type were created in its course. The car was powered by a single 1,200hp Rolls-Royce CV-12 diesel engine. Its armament consisted of a single 120mm L11A5 rifled cannon and two 7.62mm machine guns. The Challenger 1 was developed as the British Army's new main battle tank to replace the Chieftain line. Its design, however, was based on many elements of the Shir-2, which was to be produced for Iran, but which was based on the Chieftain tank. The new tank, which received the designation Challenger 1 by the British Army, compared to its predecessor, had much better Chobham armor, which protected it very well against e.g. HEAT shells. It also received a new engine with more power, as well as other electronic equipment. However, the car was not free from problems - above all, compared to such tanks as Leopard 2 or M1 Abrams, it had very poor performance and maneuverability. Its main armament was also inferior to 120mm smoothbore guns. Bearing in mind all these shortcomings, the vehicle manufacturer - Vickers Defense Systems - decided to improve it and create the Challenger 2 tank. It is worth adding, however, that despite the shortcomings, the Challenger 1 tanks performed very well during the First Gulf War (1990-1991). Vehicles of this type remained in the line of the British Army until 2001.  Features Detailed surface with filigree engravings Detailed cannon Movable turret Authentic representation of the following versions: 17/21 Lancers, BOAR, Ex. Iron Hammer 1988 Bosnia-Herzigowina 1996 In addition to basic paints, glue and brushes are also included.

The M4 Sherman medium tank was, without a doubt, the most widely produced and deployed armored vehicle of World War II. The M4 formed the backbone of American armored forces and was manufactured in numerous versions and variants. The Sherman "Wet" was developed during the tank's operational service to reduce the risk of fire, which was a common issue in early production models. Introduced in 1944, it featured redesigned and repositioned fuel tanks to minimize the likelihood of explosions and fires. The adoption of fuel tanks immersed in a propylene glycol solution, hence the name "Wet", proved to be an effective solution. Crews appreciated the increased reliability and survivability in combat. The Sherman "Wet" was extensively used on the European front during the final stages of World War II. Features Super decal sheet for 6 versions 1 figure Glueable rubber tracks Color instruction sheet
