The German Army’s s.Pz.Abt. 503 was the first operational unit to receive the
impressive new Tiger II in late May 1944. It arrived in Normandy the following
month with 12 of these powerful Kingtiger tanks to counter the Allied landings.
They first saw action on 11 July 1944. The unit was decimated in the ensuing
tough fighting against the Allies, and by the time it was withdrawn from the
frontline, s.Pz.Abt. 503 had just two operational tanks remaining. The latest
item in the Dragon Armor series is a Kingtiger from s.Pz.Abt. 503. The miniature
represents a Tiger II fighting at Western Front 1944.
The most novel aspect of this reproduction is its Porsche turret with zimmerit
coating. The distinctively streamlined turret shape lends this model an air
of uniqueness. A zimmerit coating has been expertly applied to the hull and
turret, and this is most realistic and lifelike in its appearance. The mighty
Kingtiger is resplendent in a three-tone camouflage scheme with appropriate
tactical markings. Meanwhile, craftsmen have finished it to perfection with
a careful layer of weathering and dry-brushing.
