Detailed 1/35 Scale U.S. 40 Ton Tank Transporter "Dragon Wagon"

The Tamiya 1/35 scale kit of the U.S. 40 Ton Tank Transporter, known as the "Dragon Wagon", presents UK modellers with a faithful reproduction of a crucial WWII support vehicle. Developed for moving heavy tanks, this transporter is represented with careful attention to parts and assembly for a realistic finish.

Scale Accuracy and Fine Detail

The model recreates the tractor's armoured cabin using refined slide moulding. The kit includes a tandem winch, hollow rubber tyres and numerous metal parts to enhance authenticity. Photo-etched components and metal chains and piping are supplied, and the armoured window guards may be built open or closed to suit your scene.

Display Potential and Model Appeal

Completed, the transporter makes an impressive display item and fits well into period dioramas. It features moveable front wheels, a working coupler, rear skids and a tandem axle assembly. Four figures are included to help stage maintenance or loading scenes and to add life to the model.
