We were patiently awaiting an image for the upcoming Tiger I tank commanded by famed ace, Michael Wittmann – a model that was announced two weeks ago, only to discover an additional pair of Tigers are in the offing as well as a couple of Jagdpanther tank destroyers. This makes three Tiger I tanks that were fielded by Wittmann during the fierce fighting for Normandy in the summer of 1944; a familiar pattern by Dragon when it comes to pumping out models based upon famous aces. No doubt, an Otto Carius Tiger I will eventually put in an appearance along with other panzer aces previously depicted in their standard Dragon Armor series.
The two Jagdpanthers shown on the Dragon web site are equally appealing even though they do not represent vehicles commanded by known tank aces. Still, they fill in a conspicuous hole in the Neo Dragon Armor lineup, which will no doubt be bolstered by other versions of the Jagdpanther.
While we’ve opened up the pre-order window for all of their latest models, we do not as yet have a firm release date for all of their latest introductions.
