Coming in January 2017 from Dragon USA!

Dragon has come up with an extremely exciting combination for Item No. 6866. It features a Tiger I Mid-Production tank, a famous vehicle that needs no introduction. What makes the kit special is the accompanying Borgward IV Ausf.A heavy demolition vehicle, which could drop off a 500kg explosive charge. Operated via radio by its German crew, the remotely controlled Borgward IV was the heaviest type of Germany’s demolition vehicles used in WWII, with the Goliath and Springer representing the light and medium segments. It was introduced in 1942, with 616 of the 3.65m-long Ausf.A variant produced. This reusable demolition charge carrier wasn’t a great success, however, it was unreliable and expensive. The Tiger I was introduced as the control vehicle for the Borgward IV in 1943-44. There were three companies that operated the Borgward IV. One of these, Panzer Kompanie (Fkl) 313, was subordinated to s.Pz.Abt.508 in December 1943. It had 14 Tiger Is, and its first combat was at Anzio in early 1944.

The Tiger I has Zimmerit, in keeping with that period of the war and for s.Pz.Abt.508, and it has suitable modifications for its control vehicle role. This includes a new antenna and base on the right side of the turret, with this antenna being used to communicate with the demolition charge-carrying vehicle. The well-detailed Borgward IV has not been on the market for a considerable period of time, so its release is much anticipated. Of course, its inclusion with the Tiger I to represent a combination used by C Company of s.Pz.Abt.508 makes it all the more explosively appealing!

DRA6868, Pz.Kpfw.VI (7.5cm) Ausf. B

We are proud to release the first ever 1/35 scale kit of an unusual German tank from the WWII era. Known as the Pz.Kpfw.VI (7.5cm) Ausf.B, it was a prototype tank that never made it into mass production. Krupp was ordered to produce six Waffe 0725 turrets, while Henschel was required to modify its existing VK 36.01 hull to accommodate this turret. To be crewed by five soldiers, the resulting vehicle would have weighed 40 tonnes. However, Hitler ordered that the project be scuttled when it was learnt in 1942 that not enough tungsten was available. This Pz.Kpfw.VI (7.5cm) Ausf.B was a direct predecessor of the VK 45.01 (H), which eventually led to the famous Tiger I.

This new kit of the Pz.Kpfw.VI (7.5cm) Ausf.B is brand new, indeed it uses 100% new toolings! Mounting a 7.5cm gun, it has a Krupp-designed turret installed, which looks similar to a Panzer IV turret. Built to 1/35 scale, it is the very first kit of this vehicle to appear in plastic injection form. It is extremely well detailed, with a full interior for the fighting compartment. The tracks, which feature individual slide-molded links, are also well detailed. It is a unique-looking tank, and the ancestry of the Tiger I can be clearly discerned. The Pz.Kpfw.VI (7.5cm) Ausf.B led to the highly regarded Tiger I, and thus the kit is of huge significance to everyone seriously interested in the development of German WWII tanks.

Meng Models Photo Megaganza

We just received samples of three new kits by Meng!

Here's a closer look:

TS-021a, 1:35 BRITISH MEDIUM TANK MK.A WHIPPET

This is a special edition kit that comes with a bonus set of Master Box figures. The model itself is the simplest of the three we looked at. Most of the kit is made up of flat plates build up around a hull tub. The tracks are single-piece, link to link.

TS-028, 1:35 Russian Main Battle Tank T-72B3

As with many other modern Russian armor kits put out recently, this one is wonderfully detailed. Since the Russians hang almost everything on the outside of the tank, there are lots of parts to add to the hull and turret. The tracks are multi-piece link to link. These are push fit and there are some jigs included to aid assembly.

TS-030, 1:35 GERMAN FLAKPANZER GEPARD A1/A2

Bundeswehr and Cold War fans will delight in this addition to Meng's excellent lineup of Leopard kits. As with the T-72, the tracks are quite involved. The hull and turret details are well-rendered and this is a great successor to the now ancient Tamiya kit.

Coming Soon From Trumpeter!

We received our information from Stevens International.

www.stevenshobby.com

The following new kits are scheduled to arrive in March 2017

1548, 1/35 Russian T62 Mod 1962 Iraqi Regular Army Tank

The T-62 is a Soviet main battle tank first introduced in 1961 and used during the Cold War. With over 22,000 built, it was one of the top-used tanks during the era. The 1962 variant of this kit uses an early model engine deck. Kit consists of over 470 parts, including gun barrel, copper cable, individual track links, and photo-etched parts.

5591,  1/35 Soviet JSU152K Armored Self-Propelled Gun

The JSU152 (ISU152) was a WWII Soviet self-propelled gun used until the 1970s. Shared with multiple countries in Asia and Europe, the vehicle continued to be used for many years after the war ended. The 152K variant was developed in 1956, utilizing a new engine with a cooling and heating system, along with a new commander’s cupola and increased armor. Kit consists of over 360 parts, including copper cable and photo-etched parts.

9501, 1/35 Soviet AT-T Artillery Prime Mover

The AT-T heavy artillery tractor was a Cold War era vehicle used by the Soviet Union. Based on the T-54 tank’s chassis and drive system, the AT-T was the basis for numerous future vehicles used in the Soviet military. Kit consists of over 520 parts, including copper cable, individual track links, and photo-etched parts.

Nuts & Bolts 37 Preview!

Nuts & Bolts 37 will be out in November. Here is a sneak preview from the publisher:

We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest Volume 37 on the early versions of the Jadgpanzer IV, also called “Guderian duck”. This “tank” first designed 1942 on an order of the Heereswaffenamt to VOMAG and first introduced in 1944 was basically a new successor to the Sturmgeschütz. There was a considerable effort by the General der Artillerie for the retention of the designation “Sturmgeschütz”. Guderian battled and won his case for the issuing of the tanks to the Panzerjäger units of the Panzer-Divisions. Despite the inexperienced Panzerjäger units the Jagdpanzer IV became a very worthy adversary against the Allies Armoured opposition. This volume includes the early versions of Panzerjäger IV chassis No. V2 to the leichte Panzerjäger IV with the 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48. As we formulated the production of this volume it became apparent that the historical information we obtained could only be done justice if we produced two volumes on one of the most important German tank of the Second World War. Together with Volume 38, which is devoted to the VOMAG and ALKETT versions with the 7.5 cm Pak 42 L/70 and on the Einheitsfahrgestell, all versions of this formidable vehicle will be included to the standard of information that our readers have
become used to.
