I'll have to check

 

[Down Time]

All of the decals are there, but no "Dragon".
Shark teeth yes.
If there is an alternative decal set to pursue, I have time before I get to this one.

I'm guessing " dragon " refers to the 30mm Gatling

 

[Down Time]

Well that's a given, but only as a unit mounted. As the build unfolds I'll have to see if there is an accessory hatch for it.

This is a tank, but with wings. Designed to open up tanks like a canopener.

The Dragon is the nickname for the equipment used to load the 30mm ammunition.
It is in one of the picture.
