Back in january, when we published the advance details of Dragon Model's release program (or at least the ones I could talk about), one of the more interesting announcements was the creation of a new 'line' - the 'Premium Edition' Range..
To explain briefly and to clear up any confusion, the NEW range, is a means of updating older (but essentially sound) models with the addition of Photo-Etch, Metal barrels and, in the case of the figure sets, the addition of components from their Generation 2 - new heads, equipment weapons etc...
The first of the Premium Edition range will be available from next month..
Starting with the armor range, the first has been announced:
DRA 6311- Elefant, Sd. Kfz 184 - (Premium Edition Kit)
The listed features include:
- new cupola with photo-etched parts
- periscopes made from clear parts
- brand new Elefant Magic Tracks
- new pistol port can be assembled open or closed
- all new aluminum gun barrel
- slide-molded muzzle brake
- new machine gun mount allows MG to rotate
- OVM are new
- toolbox formed from photo-etched parts with an accurate interior; can be assembled open/closed
- metal tow cable plus slide-molded cable heads
- bonus photo-etched side fenders give maximum accuracy
- photo-etched cable stowage brackets
- photo-etched tow hooks
- exciting box art illustration
- new Cartograf decals
Moving onto figures, two new sets are scheduled for release in april and may:
