Dragon Plastic Model Kit

German Engineers With Goliath Demolition Vehicle (1/35)

This 1/35 scale Dragon kit combines German combat engineers with the distinctive Goliath remote controlled demolition vehicle, creating a focused scene centred on battlefield engineering rather than frontline combat. The set is designed to show the preparation and deployment of specialised equipment, with figures posed to interact naturally with the vehicle.

The engineers are sculpted with attention to uniform detail and equipment, capturing the practical appearance of troops tasked with hazardous work. The Goliath demolition vehicle itself is sharply moulded, with its compact tracked chassis, control cable, and explosive carrier clearly defined. Together, the figures and vehicle form a cohesive vignette that works well on its own or as part of a larger diorama.

History: The Goliath demolition vehicle was developed by Germany to deliver explosive charges against fortified positions, obstacles, and enemy vehicles while keeping operators at a distance. Controlled by cable, the small tracked machine was guided towards its target before being detonated. German combat engineers were responsible for deploying and maintaining these devices, often under dangerous conditions near the front lines. Although the Goliath had limitations in reliability and protection, it represented an early attempt at remote controlled warfare and highlighted the increasing importance of specialised engineering units during the Second World War.
