Dragon has already released a 1/35 scale Mid-Production variant of the German Brummba”r, and it has been rapturously received thanks to its exquisite detail. Dragon is now following up with an Early Production version, and it is equally well endowed. A total of 60 early vehicles began rolling off the production line in November 1943, and they are easily identified by the lack of a machinegun in the glacis plate. Unfortunately, this also made them easy prey for tank-killer detachments. These early vehicles were crewed by four men, rather than the five of later vehicles. The driver’s position had the Fahrersehklappe 80 vision port from the Tiger I. These early vehicles were built until December 1943 but most were lost during the Battles of Kursk and Kharkov. Zimmerit appeared on all Brummba”r vehicles built up till September 1944.
