Two new kits from Dragon Models should be on there way to store shelves in late summer. A self propelled flak and some figures a little over dress for summer.
Dragon Models has announced two new kits due for August. First is a mobile anti-aircraft gun using the 3.7cm Flak 43 mounted on a Panzer IV chassis, the Ostwind("East Wind"). The Ostwind was a late war requirement to deal with Allied air superiority, with about a 100 vehicles ordered in 1944. Also being released is a four figure set, dressed for winter.

6550 - Flakpanzer IV "Ostwind" - Smart Kit
6705 - Winter German Infantry (4 Figures Set)

I'm liking those last 3 guys. The skier? Not so much. Makes me want to do an Ardennes diorama...

Dragon Ostwind... Darn it! How in H**L is a guy ever going to get around to building down the stash he has if they keep popping more of these "gotta get THAT!" things out all the time? I've only been dreaming of building an Ostwind for... let me see... about 40 or so years? And now here pops up what I suspect is a state-of-art "SmartKit" of the beast, just like the proverbial Belgian lop-ear out of the ol' top-hat! Mr. D; I'm gettin' into line for this one! Bob

The Ostwind kit looks great. As far as figures go,I expect more Germans from Dragon, since that's their primary market, but yet another pointing guy? If I took all the pointing guys from every Dragon figure kit and put them together, it would look like a chorus line of micro-managers, and they'd all be saying, "stop making figures that point!" It's almost a waste of a pose, but that's why there's a spares box

saw the poster on PMMS today and sadly DML made the same mistake as Trumpeter and put the production turret with lips on the prototype chassi meaning the turret will be too far back on the chassi and the radio-operators hatch isn´t aligned wih the driver´s hatch. Reference Nuts and Bolts #25
