ACA13409 - Academy - 1/72 Dragon Wagon US Tank Transporter

The Academy 13409 – 1/72 US Tank Transporter “Dragon Wagon” is a detailed scale model of the famous American heavy tank recovery and transport vehicle used during World War II. Officially designated the M25 Tank Transporter, it combined the M26 6×6 armored tractor unit with the M15 heavy semi-trailer, creating one of the most capable armored vehicle recovery systems of the war. The “Dragon Wagon” was used extensively in the European theatre to recover and transport damaged tanks under battlefield conditions, often operating close to the front lines.

Academy’s kit reproduces this iconic transport rig in 1/72 scale with finely moulded exterior detail, a fully detailed cab interior, and an accurately rendered trailer assembly. It captures both the rugged engineering of the tractor unit and the heavy-duty structure of the transport trailer, making it a standout subject for WWII logistics and armour collections.
