Dragon Flakpanzer IV (3cm) Kugelblitz (1/35) 6889

More than two decades ago, Dragon offered a 1/35 scale kit of the German Flakpanzer IV, a vehicle nicknamed Kugelblitz. It turned out to be one of Dragons signature kits, and it attained a legendary status in the companys early days. That was a long time ago, so its about time for the legend to be reborn! This is exactly what Dragon has done with a brand new kit of the Kugelblitz thats built to contemporary standards. It was once thought that the Kugelblitz never saw combat, but it is now known that one fought near Spichra, Thuringia, after it was unearthed there in 1999. For the delectation of modelers, Dragon has produced a fantastic 1/35 scale plastic kit of the Flakpanzer IV Kugelblitz. Indeed, it bears absolutely no relation to the old kit. Instead, it makes judicious use of new components from Dragons revamped Panzer IV range. To create this Flakpanzer IV variant, it also comes with a completely new upper hull, as well as a brand new turret that can rotate 360. The turret looks rather futuristic, and it creates an innovative-looking German combat vehicle
