Eduard 35539 SCUD B exterior 1/35 Dragon is a high-quality set of modeling accessories designed specifically for the Dragon 1:35 scale SCUD-B tactical ballistic missile model. This "exterior" series upgrade set significantly enhances the detail of the replica, introducing realistic elements made from thin photo-etched metal. Eduard has long been renowned for high precision and innovative solutions for demanding modelers.

The SCUD-B (GRAU designation 9K72 Elbrus, NATO code: SS-1c SCUD-B) is a Soviet tactical missile system used since the 1960s in numerous armies around the world, including the USSR, Warsaw Pact countries, the Middle East, and North Korea. The SCUD-B gained notoriety mainly during conflicts in the Middle East—such as the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and various conflicts in Afghanistan. SCUD systems accompanied the Soviet and allied armies until the end of the Cold War and were widely used even after 1991.

This Eduard 35539 set includes 4 precisely cut photo-etched sheets dedicated to the chassis, bodywork, and external details of the SCUD-B launcher. It allows modelers to recreate elements such as: handles, railings, frameworks, storage and equipment details, or subtle surface features of the launcher that cannot be achieved with traditional materials. These sheets are extremely thin (0.2–0.3 mm), which ensures maximum realism and precision.
