About the M1A1 Panther II:
The modern battlefield calls for specialized engineering equipment and the M1 Panther II ably answers that summons. This 43-ton American armoured vehicle is basically an Abrams modified for mine clearing, with the turret removed and mine rollers attached to the front. But it’s more than that, for it possesses a Standardised Teleoperation System which allows it to be operated remotely from up to 2,600 feet away. Thus instead of endangering the lives of combat engineers with mine detectors, the M1 Panther II can be enlisted for clearing minefields at the rate of 5,000 square-meters per hour.

Dragon Technology inside

Dragon Slide Mold Technology:
Beginning with computer aided design right through to molding, the whole slide mold process is computerized. It allows us to create large pieces without the need to create them as separate parts. The result is a perfectly accurate scale replica of the original without multiple seams (and major finishing work for modellers).
By utilizing this technology, we can manufacture parts that are more detailed and complex. 3-D shapes, hollow tubes and barrels, one-piece muzzle brakes are now a reality! This results in convenience and ease for you, with parts that are accurately aligned and shaped.

About Dragon's "Magic Tracks":
These tracks come ready to assemble, with no clean up necessary! They even snap together using a tight friction fit for easy assembly. Just a light application of glue afterwards is all that is needed -- the magic of Magic Tracks!
