Dragon 1:72 Sd.Kfz.184 Ferdinand • Kit No. 7344
Dragon’s 1:72 Ferdinand dates back to 2003 and this is a re-release, as well as a re-box, of a previous kit. In the box we have 5 sprues of parts, plus a separate upper & lower hull and link & length tracks. Most parts are given over to the suspension & running gear and Dragon have simplified these areas without compromising on detail in this scale. The ‘Porsche’ suspension units themselves are one-piece items, with the roadwheels & sprockets being two pieces that then simply slot onto the pins provided.
The hull bottom comes a one-piece item to which we add the fenders and front & back armour plates. Make sure that you attach the correct bits as the box also contains the bits for an Elefant. There are no interior bits or gun breach provided, but casemate & driver’s hatches are separate so you can add figures if you wish.
