The vehicle

“The Tiger I … tanks of the German Army and Waffen-SS heavy Panzer formations played a central role in resisting the Allied invasion of France in the summer of 1944. British and American tank crews found to their dismay that the Tigers could survive numerous hits while a single round from one of the their 88mm guns was enough to penetrate the strongest armour” [1]

The kit

Dragon 1/35 kit [2]. I got this – many years back – mostly because it had the Zimmerit moulded onto it and that seemed neat to me. It is about time I built it.
