Hand-painted "Dragon Tank" artwork by Alan Tomkins from Terence Young's Bond film Dr. No.

The flame-throwing Dragon Tank was used by Dr. Julius No (Joseph Wiseman) to keep locals away from his secret lair. Tomkins was the uncredited chief draughtsman on the film, and his other credits include Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, A Bridge Too Far, Saving Private Ryan and Casino Royale.

This illustration of the Dragon Tank was completed by Tomkins some time after the production. The artwork is rendered in watercolour paints and signed in the bottom right corner by Tomkins. It is framed alongside a printed mini copy of the poster. Dimensions (frame): 35 cm x 44.5 cm x 1.5 cm (13.75" x 17.5" x 0.5")
