1/35 German Flammpanzer

Anybody have any experience with the DML/Dragon Hetzer Flammpanzer? Or maybe their Pzk Mk III? I seen some really good deals on ebay. But never had any good experience with DML.

Dragon Hetzer Early - Armorama Review Archive seems perfectly on the money based on my experience & impressions of Dragon’s Hetzer.

Per article…

One of Dragon’s older 6000 series, the kit is a little light on detailing and will definitely benefit from after market upgrades. Its 334 plastic parts include 216 individual track pieces (alas, no Magic Tracks), and are rendered in a light gray. These are complimented by 7 brass PE parts, a decal sheet and painting scheme. The barrel is plastic and assembled from 2 pieces, though I’ll be avoiding that hassle by using an Armorscale upgrade. The wheels and suspension lack the crispness of DML’s Panzer 38(t) Smart Kit #6290


Like most Dragon’s from the mid 1990’s, tossed kit in a raffle after someone else (Tamiya) released a newer kit. The Takom kit is pretty nice, paid ~$22 for one on sale etc.

HTH, YMMV

I actually Built one and Mounted it on the Tamiya FAMO/Trailer combo in Markings for Kursk.
