DRAGON’S DEBUT 1:35 STUG III AUSF. E AND FLAK HETZER DUE SOON
he Sturmgeschütz III (StuG.III) has
the distinction of being Germany’s
most widely produced AFV of WWII,
with 10,619 eventually manufactured.
Based on the chassis of the Panzer III, it was
cheaper and faster to build since it did not have
a rotating turret. The Ausf.E, still equipped with
the same short-barreled 75mm StuK37 L/24
gun as preceding marks, was produced from
September 1941 through to March 1942. Some
272 rolled off Germany’s factory floors in that
period. This variant’s major improvement over its
predecessor was a new armoured pannier on the
right side of the superstructure to accommodate
radio equipment. Increased space inside allowed
an extra six 75mm rounds to be carried. An
MG34 was stowed internally too, and smaller
hinges for the inspection hatches were another
distinguishing feature of the Ausf.E.
Dragon has already launched a number of new-
generation 1:35 scale kits of the StuG.III family,
but to date these have been later production
types like the Ausf.G. Dragon is now addressing
this gap by offering a new kit of the Ausf. E,
which is designed by Japanese designers and the
Dragon team.
This 1:35 scale rendition of the tank destroyer
boasts many new plastic parts. These include
the superstructure roof, headlights and
covers, StuK37 short-barrelled gun, fighting-
compartment floor, frontal armour and cleaning
rods in their associated rack.
The Jagdpanzer 38(t) mit 2cm FlaK 38 is an
exotic beast that has never before been available
in plastic. Now Dragon has made it convenient
for modellers to produce their very own Hetzer-
based antiaircraft vehicle.
As WWII wore on, German engineers attempted
all sorts of conversions of existing armored
vehicles to help shore up the war effort. The
Czech-built Jagdpanzer 38(t) was one chassis
commonly used, and an antiaircraft vehicle was
one version that was planned. As the name
Jagdpanzer 38(t) mit 2cm FlaK 38 signifies, it
mounted a 20mm cannon.
Dargon’s forthcoming 1:35 scale Bergepanzer
38(t) Hetzer mit 2cm Flak 38 kit will incorporate
brand new elements such as an upper hull
accurately built to contemporary standards. Also
new are the engine deck and road wheels. As an
open-topped vehicle, interior detail is visible in
the fighting compartment, with a new firewall and
mount for the FlaK 38.
Photo-etched parts are included for refining
details. The option to build a vehicle converted
from either a normal Hetzer or a Bergepanzer
38(t) is included.
We will have more information about these two
closer to release.

NEW IBG RELEASES IN 1:72 SCALE
The Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck was a
class of military truck - of various forms - made
in large numbers in Canada during world War II to
British Army specifications for use in the armies of
the British Commonwealth allies. Most CMP trucks
were manufactured by the Chevrolet division of
General Motors of Canada Ltd. and by Ford Motor
Company of Canada. Just over 500,000 CMP
trucks were manufactured in Canada, accounting
for roughly two-thirds of the 815,729 military
vehicles made in Canada during World War II. CMP
truck production in Canada exceeded the total
military truck production of Nazi Germany.
IBG is now offering a 1:72 scale Chevrolet C60S
with Holmes breakdown. This will be Kit No. 72030.
IBG will also be releasing Kit No. 72031, an Otter
Light Reconnaissance Car.
The Otter Light Reconnaissance Car was a
light armored car produced by General Motors
Canada during the Second World War for British
and Commonwealth. The Otter was based on the
Chevrolet C15 Canadian Military Pattern truck
chassis and used many standard GM components.
The armament consisted of a hull-mounted Boys
anti-tank rifle and a Bren light machine gun in a
small open-topped turret. Between 1942 and 1945,
1761 units were produced in Oshawa, Ontario. The
Otter served with Canadian units in the Italian
Campaign and Northwest European operations. It
was also employed by the Polish, Czechoslovakian
and South African units and the British RAF
Regiment.
We will have more information about both these
releases when they are available.
