As WWII drew to an irrevocable end in 1945, Germany’s panzer forces were scraping
the barrel in terms of the armored vehicles it could field. One such example
is the Tiger I represented in Dragon Armor’s latest release. It portrays a hybrid
Tiger, an early version retrofitted with steel wheels. It belonged to Feldwebel
Beloff, and was part of the ad-hoc Tiger-Gruppe Fehrmann formation formed in
the spring of 1945. This Tiger was actually blown up by its crew on 11 April
1945 as Russian forces closed in on it. Tiger-Gruppe Fehrmann was a hotchpotch
of Tiger tanks collected together in Fallingbostel. To give some semblance of
regularity, the unit’s mix of tanks was painted in an unusual slate gray color,
with green and brown patches of their older camouflage schemes still poking
through. This 1/72 scale Tiger tank from Dragon Armor perfectly captures the
look of such a late-war vehicle, particularly in its unique paint scheme. Details
are carefully reproduced with accuracy uppermost in the minds of the designers.
This is a fine model of a rare Tiger with a most extraordinary history behind
it.
