“Die Erzahlung Des Schwarzen Ritters” is a widely acclaimed comic book series,
and it is considered to be the best work of the renowned comic artist Motofumi
Kobayashi. At the beginning, the fictional story is set on the Eastern Front
in the fall of 1943. It portrays the main character, Oberleutnant Ernst von
Bauer, and his Wehrmacht unit known as the 8th Tank Company, a formation also
called Black Knight.
Cyber-Hobby has already released four kits representing Black Knight’s tanks,
and now comes a fifth, the final one! In the spring of 1945, the Wehrmacht unconditionally
surrendered to the Allies. Just prior to that, Ernst von Bauer’s Tiger II and
Kurz Weber’s Panther made a last-ditch stand as a rear-guard force against the
Soviet military. The Tiger II (Kingtiger) was the last main tank operated by
the Black Knight, and it is now represented as a 1/35 scale plastic model kit.
The kit portrays his Kingtiger with a Henschel turret. High-quality decals are
accurately reproduced with the requisite Black Knight insignia. Two Black Knight
figures are also included as bonus accessories. Different to previously offered
figures, the Black Knight associated with this Kingtiger is exclusive to this
particular kit – it shows von Bauer reviewing his tank crews.
