Dragon Armor is proud to announce a magnificent 1/35 scale rendition of a Tiger
I from 1./s.Pz.Abt. 505 fighting in Nowe Koszary in 1944. It is a Late Production
variant, with such associated features as steel road wheels, updated commander’s
cupola, and single headlight centrally located in the center of the hull front.
The heavy tank unit s.Pz.Abt. 505 was formed in January 1943. It was involved
in the titanic tank battle at Kursk and returned to the Eastern Front after
being refitted in July 1944. It saw combat in East Prussia in a vain attempt
to stem the implacable tide of the Red Army.
This model tank is the result of painstaking craftsmanship, with even minute
details carefully recreated. This is the advantage of the larger 1/35 scale,
where even the tiniest of items can be shown in glorious detail. The model is
topped off with a stunning two-tone paint scheme of green stripes over a yellow
base coat. This Tiger I bears the famous “charging knight on horseback” insignia
of s.Pz.Abt 505, this insignia being delicately rendered using the pad-painting
process. A touch of color is also provided by a band of yellow on the base of
the gun tube and the vehicle tactical number “334”. The model is expertly finished
off with a tasteful level of dry-brushing and weathering, even down to its individual
track links. For collectors seeking that something extra, this Tiger I from
Dragon Armor will fit the bill!
