The Tiger was feared so much by the Allies, that most German tanks were referred to as Tiger tanks.
Tiger I is the common name of a German heavy tank used in World War II, developed in 1942. The final official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. E, often shortened to Tiger. It was an answer to the unexpectedly formidable Soviet armour encountered in the initial months of Operation Barbarossa, particularly the T-34 and the KV-1. The Tiger I design gave the Wehrmacht its first tank mounting the 88 mm gun, which had previously demonstrated its effectiveness against both air and ground targets. During the course of the war, the Tiger I saw combat on all German battlefronts. It was usually deployed in independent tank battalions, which proved to be quite formidable..
This is the Flames of War blister of the German Tiger I E.
I was quite surprised by how many parts were in the blister. This wasn’t going to be a quick model to put together, especially with no instructions!
The key was to find pictures of the finished model on the web and see if that helped.
See the full workbench feature on the Flames of War Tiger 1E.
