Dragon Plastic Model Kit

Heavy Uniform Personnel Vehicle Type 40 (1/72)

This 1/72 scale Dragon Type 40 personnel vehicle kit depicts a German World War II light field car, enhanced with modern 3D printed components to improve precision and realism at a smaller scale. The combination of traditional injection moulded parts and finely produced printed details allows the vehicle to retain crisp definition without becoming fragile or overcomplicated.

Despite its compact size, the kit includes a well detailed interior with a clearly defined driver’s cab, dashboard, seating, and folded fabric weather cover. Exterior features such as the headlights, grille, bumper, and wheels are sharply rendered, with enhanced tyre tread helping the finished model retain visual weight. The upgraded one piece chassis and suspension simplify assembly while maintaining accurate proportions.

History: Light personnel vehicles played an important supporting role within German units throughout the Second World War. Vehicles like the Type 40 were commonly used for liaison duties, transport of officers, and communication between command posts and frontline units. Often operating close to the front but rarely highlighted in photographs, these field cars became a familiar sight on roads, tracks, and temporary headquarters across occupied Europe, quietly enabling the movement and coordination of larger formations.
