Dragon Reinforces the Afrika Korps

DRA60601

At long last, 1:72 scale armor buffs will soon be able to lay claim to an all-new Panzer III Ausf. N medium tank courtesy of Dragon Armor. Slated for an August release, Dragon’s first Type N Panzer III represents a vehicle that was attached to schwere Panzer Abteilung 501, then deployed to Tunisia from late 1942 to early 1943 (DRA60601). No doubt more Panzer IIIs are in the pipeline, with several already scheduled to bolster their armored brethren later this month.

Dragon Takes a Giant Leap for Mankind

DRW50391

Looking to capitalize on the success of its own private space program, Dragon has announced plans to offer an all-new diorama as part of their burgeoning Dragon Space Collection. Their Apollo 11 scenic pays tribute to mankind’s first manned landing on the moon and contains 1:72 scale reproductions of the Lunar Module (LM), christened Eagle, which landed on the southern Sea of Tranquility, the command module, orbiting overhead, and two scale astronauts, representing mission commander, Neil Armstrong, and Lunar Module Pilot, Buzz Aldrin (#DRW50391).

The Collectors Showcase Decides to Summer in Anzio

Italian SS Splash

In a departure of sorts, The Collectors Showcase took the wraps off of their latest World War II figure series – the Italian SS. The Waffen-Grenadier-Brigade der SS (Italienische Nr. 1), bettter known as the Legione SS Italiana, was created in November 1943, from 15,000 volunteers who began training at the Truppenubungsplatz Munsingen in Germany. In April 1944, three battalions fought against the Allied bridgeheads at Anzio and Nettuno with surprisingly good results, for which Heinrich Himmler, on May 3rd, 1944, allowed them to wear SS-Runes on black rather than red and be fully integrated into the Waffen SS. Look for this new five-piece figure set to defend the beaches at the end of August.

Dragon Fires Up More Rockets

DRW56394

Dragon continues to produce an astounding array of space-related replicas, so it comes as no surprise that they would start to replicate some of the cargo-laden craft being used by NASA to ferry materiel into space.

DRW56395

Two three-packs were recently unveiled – the first modeling a trio of NASA Delta II Rockets w/Launch Pads (#SRW56394) while the second showcases a triumverate of Titan III Rockets w/Launch Pads (#DRW56395). Look for both 1:400 scale sets to blast off this summer.

An F-16 Flies Into FOV’s Future

UNI85047

We’ve learned that Unimax will soon be offering a F-16 Viper as part of its ever growing 1:72 scale diecast military aircraft collection. Expected some time this summer, their first ever F-16 will be based upon a CJ version and will bear all the hallmark munitions associated with this single-engine workhorse (#UNI85047). This, of course, comes on the heels of their soon-to-be-released Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle, and will no doubt be followed by other important aircraft of the modern era.
