During the Second World War, the development of heavy tanks continued at a fevered pitch. To deploy these tanks to the front line, or retrieve them when damaged or broken, the necessity of a large-scale transport vehicle was heightened. In April of 1943, the U.S. started production of "The Dragon Wagon", one of the biggest tank transport vehicles of WWII. Constructed around an armored cabin and a sturdy trailer, it boasted a loading capacity of 40 tons. Also assisting in the transport of boats for river crossing operations, the Dragon Wagon was a great advantage to the advancement of the Allied Forces.

This is a continuing series in exact 1/35 scale of World War II vehicles and post war armour, plus figures in many poses from forces all over the world. Ideal for the constructing of diorama and shadow box art, all of these military miniature models are exact in detail, down to the facial expressions on the soldiers themselves. Working from the full sized vehicles, the designers measured every facet of the vehicles for the most accurate model that can be produced, and thousands of photographs were utilized in verifying the many variations of the different types. These models are truly museum replicas and are, in fact, used by many famous museums around the world to depict history to the viewing public.
