This is the first in Dragon Models' new Smart Kit series. This series allows an easier build while still maintaining Dragon quality. It includes 20 pieces per master carton and the box measures 9.6" by 15" by 3.1". Intensive research was conducted on surviving tanks to ensure every detail on the 1/35 scale kit is rendered as accurately as possible. Furthermore, all the technical drawings and production engineering were carried out by Dragon’s vastly experienced design team. It is available as of August 2006.
