Modelling the Tiger I: No 37 (Osprey Modelling)

Modelling the Tiger I: No 37 (Osprey Modelling)

by David Parker (Author), Gary Edmundson (Author), Steve van Beveren (Author), David Parker (Author), Dinesh Ned (Author)

Synopsis

Probably the most famous tank of the World War II, the Tiger I was originally conceived in 1941 in response to the German Army's experience in fighting British tanks and anti-tank guns in Western Europe and the North African desert. Following the invasion of Russia, the appearance of the Soviet T-34 and KW tanks lent a further impetus to the programme and 1350 Tigers were produced between August 1942 and August 1944. The Tiger has proved to be one of the most popular modelling subjects of all time, with a vast and ever-increasing range of kits, aftermarket products and references available. This title features six different projects from some of the earliest Tigers in North Africa through to the late-production variants at the very end of the war.
