Dragon previously launched a stunning 1/6 plastic model kit of an M4A3 105mm howitzer before. Now Dragon has taken the next step and is offering a kit of the M4A3(75)W, a standard tank used by the US Army during WWII.

I'm not sure who buys this sort of thing as IMHO they are simply toy like in such a large scale and have the appearance more of a child's pedal car than a detailed scale model.

Still, each to their own and all that.

Built this, a few years ago. The turret did not have enough ventilators for an accurate 105 mm tank.But, it did include all parts needed to make the 75mm gun version. I guess with this issue, they have omitted the extended end connectors.

You might be surprised at what you can do with large scale models. Check out these 1/4 scale fully detailed and drivable monsters:

I don't think these were ever intended for the model makers market. I'm sure they were produced for those people who collect the Dragon "Dollies" , to go along side them. Grown ups who are reliving their childhood experiences of GI Joe/Action Man or maybe even Barbie and Ken

Can't see the $600. I can build 1-35 for almost two years on that.
