Dragon Fires Off a Last Minute Salvo

DRA60593

With scant hours to go before the ball drops in Times Square, Dragon has indicated that two long awaited items are now shipping out to their dealer network. The first item expected is their fourth take on the German Flakpanzer Coelian anti-aircraft vehicle (#DRA60593), thus completing the quartet of Flakpanzers already envisaged. Also on the truck is a USAF Northrop XB-35 Experimental Heavy Bomber, first announced several months ago but finally taking wing. Loads of other Dragon Armor and Dragon Warbirds pieces announced months ago are purportedly in the works, although no solid release dates are appearing on the manufacturer’s latest shipping manifest.

Looking to stay on top of the 1:72 heap, Dragon today showed off a new line of military vehicles they are calling Ultimate Armor. According to their web site:

“Ultimate Armor series is a new line-up of Dragon Armor, featuring unusual and rare vehicle types such as the first one Flakpanzer V “Coelian” presented here. Those unique items will cater to the demands of discerning collectors. Many such rare fighting-vehicles will come up.”

The first vehicle in the line is a Flakpanzer V “Coelian” (DRR60590) which never saw service but nevertheless was intended to augment Germany’s armored forces as a means of warding off low-flying enemy aircraft. Dragon is indicating a November ship for this intriguing item, which will carry a retail price of $39.99.
