Tamiya 35230 - 1/35 Dragon Wagon WWII 40 Ton Tank Transporter Off-Road Display Kit  [35230]

Scale Model of the U.S. 40 Ton Tank Transporter "Dragon Wagon"

The Tamiya 1/35 representation of the U.S. 40 Ton Tank Transporter, the "Dragon Wagon", delivers a hands-on WWII modelling project aimed at Australian builders who value scale authenticity. Developed in 1943 to haul heavy armour, the original vehicle is rendered here with parts and assemblies that recreate its operational look.

Realistic Assembly and Included Components

This kit captures the transporter's profile using refined moulding methods for the armoured cab. It contains a tandem winch, hollow rubber tyres and a range of metal fittings for added realism. Photo-etched elements, metal chains and pipework are provided, while the bulletproof window guards can be modelled in open or shut positions for different display choices.

Collector Value and Display Uses

On completion the model functions as an attractive centrepiece for military collections or as a detailed element in dioramas. Working features include steerable front wheels, a coupler, rear skids and a tandem axle. The four included figures allow for service scenes or roadside scenarios that add narrative to the display.
