As its latest Combo Kit featuring convenient and appealing vehicle pairings, Dragon is offering a German Sd.Kfz.7 halftrack towing an 8.8cm FlaK 36/37 gun. The rather iconic Sd.Kfz.7 was originally designed to tow both the 8.8cm FlaK gun and the 15cm sFH.18 howitzer. It could accommodate up to 12 soldiers of a gun crew, as well as a limited amount of ammunition. Turning to the FlaK.37, this famous 8.8cm weapon could be used in both the antiaircraft and antitank roles.

Dragon’s release of an Sd.Kfz.7 halftrack towing an s.FH.18 15cm howitzer (Item No. 6918) was very successful, prompting the offering of this natural companion – the same halftrack but this time towing the 8.8cm FlaK 36/37 gun. Of course, these items are available as separate kits, but this superb combination gives modelers everything they need in a single box and at an even more competitive price than buying them singly. Given that both the German halftrack and the gun were widely used in every theater throughout WWII, there is virtually no limit to what the imaginative modeler can do with this combination.

Dragon is releasing a superb 2-in-1 kit of Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer, a low-profile vehicle was actually designed as a replacement for the successful StuG.III. One variant of the family was the Jagdpanzer IV L/70 mounting a long-barreled 7.5cm PaK42 antitank gun. Modelers can produce the tank destroyer either with or without the Zimmerit coating. The box includes two sets of upper hulls, lower hulls, fenders, rear plates and mantlets. The realistic-looking ready-made Zimmerit coating is beautifully recreated, saving modelers the onerous task of adding it themselves. However, for those who want to express their creativity, this is where the 2-in-1 offering comes into its own, as modelers can certainly add it should they wish. The Jagdpanzer IV L/70(V) has long been a popular item in Dragon’s range thanks to its powerful gun and sleek profile. Now the vehicle will be even more popular thanks to this versatile 2-in-1 kit.
