By late 1944, chronic fuel and transport shortages meant German panzergrenadiers frequently rode into battle clinging to the hulls of their supporting tanks rather than in dedicate d half-tracks. This set depicts "panzer riders" during the Lorraine campaign of autumn 1944, when newly raised Panzer Brigades clashed with George Patton's US Third Army in the tank battles around Arracourt and the Moselle. Dragon's figures are posed gripping handholds and grab-rails as if braced against a moving tank, wearing the mix of camouflage smocks and field-grey typical of German armoured infantry late in the war. The set is designed to be mounted directly onto the engine deck and hull of a 1/35 Panzer kit to create a dynamic, narrative scene rather than a static parked vehicle. Figures are moulded in crisp grey styrene with fine sculpting of webbing, weapons and clothing folds, and are compatible with Dragon's Panther and Panzer IV kits from the same period. A perfect add-on set for modellers wanting to turn a static tank build into an animated Lorraine 1944 vignette. Show more
