As WWII grated inexorably towards an inevitable conclusion, Germany desperately
tried to slow the incoming tide with forces like Gruppe Fehrmann, an ad hoc
collection of six Tigers and five Panthers. This formation was under the command
of Oberleutnant Fehrmann, and was formed in the spring of 1945. Their Tiger
I tanks were a collection of hybrid vehicles exhibiting features such as steel
wheels on Early Production hulls. These vehicles emanated from the Lehr School
at Fallingbostel and were hastily thrown into the fray. The Tigers were Dunkelgrau
in color, but were oversprayed in green and brown to add some semblance of camouflage.
Dragon Armor’s Item No. 60291 represents one of Gruppe Fehrmann’s Tiger Is, vehicle number “F05”. It has been modeled precisely with all appropriate features for such a hybrid Tiger. A rough camouflage scheme of green has been hastily painted over the gray base, which provides this model with a unique appearance. This Dragon Armor model captures the sense of desperation and doom facing Germany as the Allies penetrated the Fatherland, and it makes a fine complement to the previously issued Gruppe Fehrmann Tiger I.
