¹⁄72

Dragon Models previously had an excellent reputation for aircraft kits in both 1/72nd and 1/48th scales. It has (unsurprisingly) been a while since they had a new release in the aviation field. Now it seems the Aviation Wing (o.k. I couldn't resist it!) of DML is back in business with a new release...

This new release is very much in the field of Peter Allen Flitzer who has been culturizing us for several months on the site with his superb Luft '46 series of articles....

The new release (available in october) is

DRA 5026 - Arado Ar 234 (1/72nd Scale) and will retail for around $19.95. Amongst the features on the new kit are the following:

- newly tooled nose

- detailed armored cockpit and canopy, both newly tooled in clear parts

- new MGs mounted in the belly

- new radar parts

- photo-etched parts for antennas and cockpit interior

- high quality decals by Cartograf

An interesting model of a totally fascinating subject - the kind of aircraft which definitely becames a talking-point in any collection and one which the true fanatics of the What If? school of modelling will grab with both hands...

One final point in all of this, when are we going to get some allied aircraft of this type? (sorry, couldn't resist this either!!!)
