Dragon Armor 1/35 Tiger I Early Production "Michael Wittmann" 13./Pz.Rgt.1, Operation "Zitadelle" July 1943 (61006)
In a fully built-up 1/35 scale model, Dragon presents a Tiger I Early Production variant as used by Wittmann during Operation Zitadelle in July 1943. The Battle of Kursk is itself legendary, as 2700 German tanks slugged it out against 3600 Soviet tanks in the world’s largest armorued battle. New tanks such as the Panther and Elefant made their combat debut at Kursk, but it was the experienced Tiger that provided real bite to the attack. This release is also the very first Early Production variant to feature in the Dragon Armor series. The tank is expertly painted in a two-colour camouflage scheme that perfectly mimics the original vehicle. It carries the markings of 13./Pz.Rgt.1, of which Wittmann was a platoon commander. Details on this tank are stunningly replicated, from the muzzle of the powerful 8.8cm gun to the rear exhaust and from the track treads to the turret top! An appropriate amount of weathering has been achieved through some masterful dry brushing. This fine model from Dragon combines the legend of the Tiger with the legend of Wittmann!

Two legends combine in this fantastic new item from Dragon! It combines Germany’s legendary Tiger I tank with the most successful tank ace of all time! This legendary tank commander of WWII is none other than Michael Wittmann, who was credited with destroying 138 tanks and 141 enemy artillery pieces.
