It seems as if not a day passes without Dragon announcing yet another new release. Today is no exception....One major new armor release and more details of a previously announced figure set...
When Dragon announced their 251 Series, it certainly caused a real 'frisson' of excitement in the modelling world. As each of the various 'marks' of the 251 had 22 variants, it seems as if we're going to be seeing them for a while to come....

The latest (announced on the 9th of November) is:

6202 : Sd.Kfz. 251/16 Ausf.C - Flammpanzerwagen

Some very nice features are promised in this new kit:

* 2 x 14mm flame projectors, spray tubes and shield in maximum details
* 2 kinds of spray tubes (with cradle locked & unlocked)
* Spray tubes firing/transporting option (with/without cap)
* 7mm portable flame projector and its fuel supply hose
* Precisely molded fuel supply devices including fuel pipes and hoses
* 2 x fuel tanks
* Detailed fuel pump
* Detailed gasoline engine for pumping
* Completely new arrangement of the fighting compartment
* New-tooled rear seat
* Rifle storage rack
* Two new-sculpted projector operators in flameproof overalls
* Two additional masked heads provided


'Special Features':

* Rivetted hull
* Projector cradles lock/unlock option
* Improved sprocket, road wheel details
* Accurately shaped notek blackout light
* Front seats with extreme details
* Storage boxes with open/close option
* Individual track links
* Clear vision blocks with interior and open/close option
* Photo-etched parts
* Front & rear MG mount (can be rotated)


Bonus Features:

* Extra welded hull also provided as bonus
* A bonus driver
* Brass width indicator bars
* Vinyl uniform x 2
* Three big decal sheets by Cartogarf for various Pz.Gren. Div.
* Silver stickers for side mirrors


The second (announced release) is:

6215 : 1/35 Fallschirmjäger 8cm Mortar Team (Italy 1944)

Four figures, 8cm Granatwerfer 34 mortar, ammunition boxes and loose rounds are all included...


Well that is it for the Dragon Releases for today, I have little doubt that I will be back reporting on yet another 251 variant by the end of the week....
