Advancing to Kharkov - Latest Figures from DML

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - 01:18 AM UTC

Dragon Models have announced another Early/Mid-War Figure set in 1/35th.

6656 - Advance To Kharkov 1942

AtK is a four-figure set once again covering pretty well-trodden ground by DML in their figure releases. All the figures are German and as a welcome change, a Luftwaffe Field Division figure is included. The weapons & equipment, as is now standard practice are the Gen2 set.

It ISN'T a set which is going to get German modelers going Wow! What it is, is a set which will be very useful.

Now about those Gen2 Weapon sets. Just when are Dragon going to take the plunge and release them seperately?

Thanks for that - I was rushing to publish it and something was niggling me about that figure... [/quote] Obviously that should have been fourth not four.

The quality of Dragon figures now means that if one or two don´t fit your idea for dioramas or vignettes, they are good enough to be stand alone figures as well (IMO). I can see the Luftwaffe figure used for this. A new head and some care and attention, he would look great! [/quote] My point exactly. This probably the first Dragon kit I have been interested in in some time (except the USMC Pelielu set which I need for a dio that is sitting stagnant.

Nope, I like the sets which are workmanlike and free of gimmicks. Quiet satisfaction rather than euphoria?

They look nice and all, but where are the Marines they promised a few months back? Nothing more than a drawing.

Great to see the Luftwaffe soldier pointing to a bullet or sharpnel dent in his helmet. He will fit in nicely in a diorama next to an AA gun with combat damage. Thanks for the news update, Jim

Could anyone identify their ranks for me?

Left to right of box-art: 1) Luftwaffe Obergefreiter 2) Not sure, as I think he wears slip-on shoulder camouflage straps which conceal his rank. 3) Heer Obergefreiter 4) Not sure due to angle of box-art and the CAD images being too pixilated, but the figure would be of a squad leader rank due to choice of weapon. It's mostly academic though, as the ranks of the figures are easily changed.
