Dragon 6968 Neubau-Fahrzeug Nr.2 1/35 – Plastic model of a German tank

Dragon 6968 Neubau-Fahrzeug Nr.2 in 1/35 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the famous German heavy prototype tank NbFz. This model is ideal for enthusiasts of armored vehicles from World War II, especially those who appreciate unique and rarely seen historical constructions.

Historical Information about Neubaufahrzeug

The Neubaufahrzeug, designed in Germany at the request of the Reichswehr in 1933, was among the first German attempts to create a modern heavy tank. Production was limited to 5 prototypes between 1933 and 1935, making this vehicle unusually rare compared to the mass-produced armored equipment of the Third Reich.
The NbFz was a triple-turreted vehicle, armed with a 75 mm or 105 mm gun, an additional 37 mm cannon, and three MG 13 machine guns. The rarity of this vehicle is underlined by the fact that only three units saw combat – during the Norwegian campaign in 1940 (World War II), where they served as a propaganda symbol of German armored power. After the loss of one tank, the remaining ones returned to Germany for testing purposes.
