Academy 1/72 U.S. Dragon Wagon WWII Transporter Kit

The Academy 1/72 Dragon Wagon models a key heavy haulage vehicle from World War II. Employed to move tanks and large equipment, the Dragon Wagon had distinctive form and function which this kit captures for enthusiasts and display builders.

Period Accuracy and Visual Fidelity

The transporter is known for its sturdy layout and load handling, and the kit reproduces those trademarks with correct cabin styling and trailer arrangement. The result is a model that conveys the vehicle's wartime role and appearance.

Modelling Considerations and Tips

Suitable for builders with some experience, the 1/72 scale makes the project compact yet detailed. Careful gluing and precise painting will highlight the kit's moulded features and yield an attractive model for a shelf or vignette.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included

Will the kit match other 1/72 vehicles?

Yes, the scale aligns with common 1/72 armour and figure ranges, making it straightforward to include the transporter in existing collections or small dioramas.

Are instruction sheets clear for assembly?

The instructions guide each subassembly step. Taking time to dry-fit parts before cementing will help achieve correct joins and reduce rework.

How can I age the finished model?

Use subtle washes to bring out recesses, add dust tones on lower surfaces, and pick out scuffs with a light drybrush to suggest operational wear without overdoing it.
