THE KIT:
DML Dragon is a prolific model company based in Hong Kong, China. They make all manner of model subjects in the popular scales.
This kit comes in a shrink-wrapped end opening type box. I am no fan of this type of box, because invariably parts of the decal sheet will find their way past one of the end flaps to become lost forever. Give me a tray and lid type box any day of the week.
The box art shows 2 medical troops tending wounded German infantrymen.
One wounded infantryman is on a stretcher with a medical trooper bandaging his wounds. The other medical trooper is walking with a wounded infantryman with his arm over the trooper's shoulder. He has head bandages on.
All the figures wear field-gray uniforms. The troopers have white arm bands with red crosses on them and the walking one wears a white steel helmet with red crosses on it.
The kneeling trooper working on the guy on the stretcher has a field-grey steel helmet. He is opening a box of drugs.
There are 2 canvas cases marked with red crosses on the ground near the stretcher and a white flag with a red cross on it in the background next to a kubelwagen that has a white circle with a red cross on it on it's rear.
One corner of the box art says that the kit is designed for modelers 10 and older and that it contains 46 parts.
One side panel has 2 color box arts of other figure kits that DML manufactures: Kit no. 6063, Deutsche Afrika Korps figures and kit no. 6070, German Fallschirmjager (Crete 1941).

The bottom of the box serves as the assembly and painting instructions. There are color 2-views of the 4 figures, the flag and the medical case and canvas bag.
At the bottom there is black and white illustrations of the medical case, the medical pouch and the stretcher.

This kit is very well detailed and the poses will make for a neat diorama.
Highly recommended.

I bought my kit back in the 90's at my local hobby shop.
