An army issues its soldiers with weapons and now Dragon Models is bringing back weapons sets so you can arm your army.
Dragon Models has announced two weapons sets that are coming back to market. The German and Allied Weapons sets were originally released in the mid-1990’s and will be available again to help add a new weapon to a figure or as stowage on a vehicle.

3809 WWII German Infantry Weapons Part 1
3815 WWII Allied Infantry Weapon Set

According to Dragon Models USA these two sets should be available in May 2015.

What Darren said. And Kevin. And most of us.

These are OK I suppose, but I'd have rather seen a set of Gen 2 weapons with straps and slings included.

HEAR, HEAR!!! WE WANT GEN 2 US and ALLIED WEAPONS!!!

OOOPS!!! Forgot to include Gen 2 WWII German and Gen 2 Vietnam-era weapons in my "WE WANT..." comment...

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU DARREN! DRAGON could clean up the 1/35 Weapons market if they would only release separate Gen 2 Weapons kits!!! What's WRONG with those guys??? Having said that, LIVE RESIN makes some GORGEOUS Modern weapons, and some OUTSTANDING M1 Garands. If DRAGON doesn't take up the idea of releasing Gen 2 Weapons kits and/or sets of the weapons that we've been discussing here, I hope that LIVE RESIN DOES!!!

The Walther flare pistol looks like something for an interesting vignette. IMHO Dragon seems to be in somewhat of a slump. I guess they ran out of variants and can't determine how to re-tool their SmartKit line. This will make my girl happy. Spend less on models and more on jewelry.

Yeah, Dragon finally ran out of variants of every single Axis vehicle of WWll (except for short-barrel StuG's) and simply can't think of any other vehicles that should, or could, be kitted!

Great news. I had just bought the Allied weapons set not too long ago (came with 2 extra M1s, a set from a different figures set, and the mostly worthless Tamiya US weapons set. I took the pistols and few other rid bits off that as those are the only useful pieces). Now I can try to stock up!

Over several years - in face to face conversations with Dragon, (after being asked what would a sensible move for new releases), I came up with two suggestions - 1/72nd figure sets and the GEN II weapon sets released seperately. Neither have sadly ever come to fruition. All is however (probably) not lost. Riich model released two amazing (equally as good as Gen II) Commonwealth weapon sets. Probably at some point they'll continue the line with Axis weapons at which point, dear Axis modelers, you are in for a treat...
