Dragon 6728 Ardelt-Rheinmetall 8.8cm Pak 43 Waffentrager (1/35) – detailed model of a German self-propelled gun

The Dragon 6728 Ardelt-Rheinmetall 8.8cm Pak 43 Waffentrager in 1/35 scale is a precisely crafted plastic model kit that allows for a faithful recreation of one of the most niche German armored vehicles from World War II. The kit is a faithful replica of a prototype self-propelled gun designed by the German companies Ardelt and Rheinmetall, based on a universal transport chassis, intended for mounting the powerful 8.8cm Pak 43 anti-tank gun.

The Dragon 6728 model depicts a historical vehicle that was developed at the end of World War II (1944–1945), in response to the need for increased mobility of heavy anti-tank guns. The Germans planned mass production of this type of Waffenträger, but due to the fall of the Third Reich, only a few prototypes were built. These vehicles were used exclusively as experimental units and in limited field tests on the Eastern Front.

Dragon 6728 is recommended for advanced modelers as well as ambitious intermediate enthusiasts of armored vehicles and World War II militaria.

The assembly difficulty level is rated at 4/5 – the number of small details and photo-etched parts require precision, experience, and basic modeling skills. The Dragon 6728 Ardelt-Rheinmetall 8.8cm Pak 43 Waffentrager (1/35) is an exceptional choice for any collector interested in rare experimental vehicles and the reconstruction of German armed forces from the closing stage of World War II.
