Dragon
Chinese company Dragon has long been associated with highly detailed 1/35 and 1/72 military vehicle kits, but it also provides ships, aircraft and real space items. The military kits sometiems come with different media, such as photo-etched metal details, and turned-metal barrels.

Late-War Panzer from Dragon: 1/72 Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf.J Early Production
Often viewed as a backwards step in Panzer IV development, the last subtype – the Ausf.J – is the subject of Dragon’s small-scale kit, reviewed here by AMW.
ISRAELI ‘KILLER EGG’ RETURNS
Dragon's 1/35 Hughes MD500 TOW-armed helicopter has been re-released, offering rotorcraft fans the chance to build an Israeli machine.
DRAGON’S SMALL-SCALE STURMGESCHÜTZ
Dragon's 1/72 armour kits are packed with detail, and the tradition is upheld by the firm's new Neo Pro StuG.II Ausf.B boxing, which offers link-and-length tracks. It also provides structural details of early IIIBs.
DRAGON’S DUAL-IDENTITY HALF-TRACK
Dragon's 1/72 German Sd.Kfz.251 half-tracks are packed with detail, and this 2 in 1 offering provides alternative parts so you can choose to build one of two different vehicles. The common factor is that of pioneer bridge sections mounted on the upper hull sides.
Wheeled Troop Carrier from Dragon: /72 PLA ZBL-09 IFV
Arguably, convergent evolution is just as prevalent in vehicle design as nature, as evinced by China’s ZBL-09, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the Piranha series of vehicles (the source of many Western 8x8 designs) – understandable given they provide similar functions.
