Dragon Models have just announced two new releases - the first is a NEW version of an existing variant, the 234/3, the second, a Kettenkrad, takes the company in a different direction completely - the first injection-molded kit in 1/6th scale... The report can be seen:

Don't these guys ever take a break? Too much great kits too fast!

Anyway, another great addition and the Krad sounds very interesting as well.

Looks great! The whole gun assembly looks very good.

The only critism is that the vehicle comes with four(!) sets of flexible number plates were you place each number individually on the blank number plate. That is great if you want to model a specific vehicle or like playing around with lining up small numbers. However, why is there a need for four sets?

I would like Dragon to supply "finished" number plates with numbers already lined up. Fx. two generic WH and two generic SS sets. These could be supplied in stead of one or two of the flexible number plate sets.

Then all needs could be satisfied.

However, all this is details as overall Dragon is turning out a lot of great kits!

Quoted Text

but the question remains - are we going to see suitable (injection-molded) figures from Dragon as well? Watch this space!


Please, please let it be so!!! Can only imagine the future possibilities if this would take-off --- 750s with side car, Kubelwagens, willys jeeps etc. But none of these would be complete without a few figures, and I dont want to but barbie positionable dolls.

Nice to see Dragon finally releasing the last version of the 8 Rad to round out the set, nice one, not sure about the K'rad but full marks to them pushing the envelope.

Very nice news indeed, I'd hoped they would complete the 234 with the /3 as that's the one I wanted to see done the most out of all the variants.

Dont forget Cyber-hobby is going to do the version with the turret from the 251/17 as well.
