Ultimate Armor

Dragon Preps More Armor for its 2013 Assault

DRR60531

No one is more eager to see some of the promised Dragon Armor projects than we are, so its with mixed trepidation and heady anticipation that we unveil Dragon’s first German VK 45.02 (P)H Ausf. A Heavy Tank (DRR60531). Mounting the fearsome Type A turret towards the rear of the vehicle, much like a self-propelled gun, the German VK 45.02 (P)H Ausf. A heavy tank never actually saw military service, although it likely would have been employed to combat the growing array of heavy armor the Allies were throwing at The Third Reich towards the end of WWII. Ship dates are still open for debate, with other previously announced projects still awaiting their turn at bat on store shelves.

Dragon is indicating a November ship for this intriguing item, which will carry a retail price of $39.99.
