The Boxer is an 8×8 armored vehicle produced in Germany by ARTEC. Novel is the Boxer’s modular nature whereby interchangeable mission modules can be added to a foundational drive platform. In Bundeswehr service, Initial Boxers rolled out in 2009 were designated A0, followed by the main A1 production type in 2011, and then the A2 introduced in 2015. It’s a German armored personnel carrier (APC) variant that Dragon has chosen for its newest 1/72 scale Armor Pro model kit. With a combat weight of 36.5 tonnes, the real-life Boxer is actually an enormous vehicle, and its mass is perfectly captured in this 1/72 scale model. Indeed, this Armor Pro kit of a Boxer A2 8×8 APC is immaculately produced. It thus features a roof-mounted FLW 200 remote-controlled weapon station mounting a 40mm automatic grenade launcher. Detail levels on this Boxer 8×8 are phenomenal, yet parts are carefully engineered to ensure that assembly is easy and smooth, an example being the one-piece slide-molded upper hull. Most significantly, this is Dragon’s first ever kit of the Boxer, something that fans of modern AFVs will be thoroughly pleased about. Dragon’s exciting Boxer has truly entered the ring!

Dragon’s Armor Pro series is delighted to be offering 1/72 scale plastic models of the US Army’s important Stryker 8×8 vehicle family. There are ten Stryker variants in all that are used by the US Army, with the family entering military service in 2002. This particular model, completely newly tooled, represents the M1134 Stryker ATGM, the anti-tank missile variant that provides an anti-armor overwatch capability to Stryker Brigade Combat Teams. Its primary weapon system is an elevated TOW system with twin launcher tubes that fire missiles to a maximum 4km range. There is also a 7.62mm M240B machine gun for the commander. A Stryker Brigade Combat Team has three platoons of M1134s (a total of nine vehicles), each 8×8 vehicle crewed by four soldiers. This is a simply sensational kit of the M1134 Stryker ATGM, highly accurate in 1/72 scale. All elements are sharply rendered. Multi-directional slide molds permit major assemblies such as the upper hull or lower hull to be of one piece. Items like the intricate wing mirrors and TOW launcher are beautifully depicted too. This 1/72 scale Armor Pro kit of the US Army’s M1134 Stryker ATGM is certainly more than ready to take on any enemy armor!
