I would have expected that Tamiya would have actually produced this
version of the Dragon Wagon by now, but it is pleasing that Trakz has
now released a 1/35 scale conversion to the soft cab version of this big
tank transporter.
Trakz 1/35 scale Soft Cab conversion comprises 28 resin parts and a
fret of photo-etched parts.
The resin in my sample displayed quie a few air bubbles and some
warpage in a few parts. A bit of preparation and test-fitting will be
required to get everything lined up. The photo-etched parts include the
window frames and look good. Instructions are quite straightforward.
Trakz' 1/35 scale Soft Cab conversion offers lots of potential for
both WWII and Korean dioramas, and is very welcome.
Recommended for experienced modellers.
