About the Dragon Wagon
During the Second World War, the development of heavy tanks continued at a fevered pitch. To deploy these tanks to the front line, or retrieve them when damaged or broken, the a large-scale transport vehicle was a necessity. In April of 1943, the U.S. started production of "The Dragon Wagon", one of the biggest tank transport vehicles of WWII. Constructed around an armored cabin and a sturdy trailer, it boasted a loading capacity of 40 tons. Also assisting in the transport of boats for river crossing operations, the Dragon Wagon was a great advantage to the advancement of the Allied Forces.
   
Powerful shape of the original vehicle has been accurately recreated in 1/35 scale. Tractor's armored cabin molded as one unit by slide molding technique, allowing precise assembly.   Assembly of richly recreated parts such as the tandem winch offers modeler maximum enjoyment.   Sturdy trailer equipped with wheel guards and moveable skids.
         
   
Underside of cabin, frame and equipment authentically recreated. Caution signs for fire extinguisher, etc. are included as decals.   Underside of tractor also gives realistic construction.
