The heavy tank battalion, s.Pz.Abt.507 (schwere Panzer-Abteilung 507), was
created on 23 September 1943 in the Vienna area. It was completely equipped
with mighty Tiger I tanks before the unit deployed into the cauldron of combat
on the Eastern Front, including hard battles at Tarnapol, Vitebsk and Narev,
in early 1944. By March 1944, the unit’s Tiger Is were fighting in the Lemberg
area of southern Poland. This battalion, like every other s.Pz.Abt., could field
45 Tiger tanks when fully equipped. The tanks were assigned to three companies
of 14 vehicles each, with three more tanks in the HQ.
A new 1/72 scale model from Dragon Armor depicts a Mid-Production Tiger from
s.Pz.Abt.507 as it appeared while the battalion was stationed in Poland. The
model’s finished in an attractive two-color camouflage paint scheme that mimics
to some degree the stripes of a tiger. Of special note is the realistically
applied Zimmerit coating, which attains the standards achieved by master modelers.
The distinctive "B" tactical markings on the turret stand out and give this
tank real personality. Detail is delicate and full, including all the typical
features of a Mid-Production variant. With its striped coat, this Dragon Armor
model is ready to pounce on unsuspecting enemy prey!
