Unfortunately, most of the coverage of Dragon's releases concentrates on their 1/35th scale subjects. This is a pity as their 1/72nd scale releases are arguably more interesting with the breadth of subjects they cover. Here's an overview of what's being released now and what's coming in the next few months.

7377 - Kfz.70 6x4 Personnel Carrier + 3.7cm PaK 35/36

Personally speaking, those LVTs are the pick of a pretty interesting bunch of releases. What is a little disappointing is that there is still no sign of figure sets in this scale?

This is what will get me into braille scale as I'm sure I'll be getting the LVT kits, and probably some of the others. Interesting that so many of the releases I want in 1/35 are offered in 1/72 and 1/6 scale, with no indication of any intent to release in 1/35.

I like these! I will definitely pick up the LVT, the 222s, and the Sturm w/zim. Probably the others as well...

Hopefully Dragon will do the LVT series in 1:35, that would be great. Normally I'm one of these unspeakable German armor guys, but I would love one of these LVT's. Jacob

I agree about wanting to see some of those LVT's offered in 1/35, but I'm certainly happy with what I see here in 1/72.
