DRAGON 1:35 JAGDPANZER IV A-0
Germany based its Jagdpanzer IV tank
destroyer on the chassis of the ubiquitous and
reliable Panzer IV tank. The vehicle mounted a
lethal 75mm main gun in a fixed superstructure
or casemate. The low-profile vehicle was
actually designed as a replacement for the
successful StuG.III, and it was built in three
variants, the first of which was the 0-series,
essentially a Jagdpanzer IV pre-production
version. The 0-series is easily identified by the
rounded front corners of the superstructure,
a feature that was dropped for production and
ballistic reasons once manufacture began. It
mounted a 7.5cm PaK39 gun, plus ports for
two 7.92mm machine guns in the glacis plate.
The first 0-series vehicle was produced in
January 1944.
This Dragon 1:35 scale rendition of a
Jagdpanzer IV A-0 recreates the original
pre-production vehicle. Indeed, it has no
connection with old item No.9059 that Dragon
released years ago. This is a brand new kit that
employs parts such as the chassis and road
wheels from Dragon’s current generation of
exemplary Panzer IV kits, combined with easy-
to-assemble tracks made from DS. Furthermore,
the superstructure and roof are brand new. It
has the correct superstructure with distinctive
rounded corners that makes it stand out from
production Jagdpanzer IVs, while the 75mm
PaK39 gun is fitted with a muzzle brake. In
fact, Dragon has made the 1/35 kit even more
attractive by offering two different options
in the box. These options allow either of two
different vehicle configurations to be created as
modelers wish.
The decisive Six-Day War fought between
Israel and its neighbors will achieve its 50th
anniversary next year. Between now and then,
Dragon is releasing a series of 1/35 scale kits
highlighting equipment that was critical to that
famous Middle East conflict.
American production of the M3 ran into the
thousands, and after WWII many nations sold
off their stocks to countries like Israel. The
M3 in IDF service was an important vehicle for
mechanized infantry, it being a forerunner to
proper armored personnel carriers like the M113
that Israel later fielded in large numbers.
This 1:35 scale kit has been suitably modified
to represent an Israeli M3 in the period of
the Six-Day War. For example, there is a new
machine gun mount above the front windscreen
armor. A typical characteristic of Israeli
halftracks was the mass of backpacks and kit
stowed on and dangling off the sides of vehicles.
This flurry of equipment is perfectly captured
with a range of kit accessories made from DS,
the ideal material to make such items from.
This is a highly detailed and realistic model
of an M3 halftrack fighting during the bitterly
contested Six-Day War. Indeed, because such
halftracks were used long before and after the
1967 conflict, this kit offers enormous modeling
versatility too.
We will have a full review of these interesting
subjects upon release.

COMPETITION
We have teamed up with our
friends at The Airbrush Company
to offer one lucky reader the
chance of winning the new
Sparmax ARISM Viz compressor!
Worth
£
180
.00
RRP!
Intuitive Design - Universal DC Motor - Quiet Operation
The ARISM Viz incorporates two new innovative designs from Sparmax,
the Smart-Stop (see info below), and the Silver Bullet Plus. When used
in conjunction with each other the result is a compact, ergonomic, and
intuitive compressor for airbrushing.
The name VIZ was chosen from the similar-sounding ‘Vis’, which has
many meanings in Latin, including ‘Nature’, ‘Efficiency’, and ‘Strength’. It
is also encompassed in the word ‘visual’, which we felt was fitting, since
when it came to airbrushing the artist was bringing their vision to life on
canvas for all to see.
ARISM Viz has a DC motor for universal usage (100-240V) and coupled
with its small size it is ideal for travel. Additionally, it is designed to draw
less power than comparable AC compressors and is also quieter.
As an optional accessory, the ARISM Viz can also be run with standard
Sparmax Battery Packs. A combined set including the Compressor, Battery
and Charger is also available.
An innovative and intuitive feature designed to enhance the users
airbrushing experience, the Smart-Stop pauses the compressor when the
airbrush is placed into its holder and restarts it when it is taken off again.
The first of its kind in the market, it is compatible with pressure regulators
and bleed valves. Using the Smart-Stop, the working pressure before the
compressor is paused will be maintained upon restart; this is comparable
to the pressure stabilising effect of an air tank, minus the space taken
up! Additionally, the Smart-Stop eliminates the frequent on/off condition
which can occur when using a traditional auto stop + pressure regulator
set up without an air tank.
Users with a single action or dual action airbrush will also have the same
experience when using the Smart-Stop.
