After a very long time, this project has finally come to an end.
sacond version of my favorite WW2 heavy tank.
I started working on it back in may 2011, the first version was finished around August, and this, finalised version was finished a few days ago.
"Tiger I is the common name of a German heavy tank developed in 1942 and used in World War II. 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."
My first version can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/angelo_s/6096611896/in/photostream
There are a lot of changed parts, but the most noticable is more curved turret, different mudguards, much better wheel setup.
Plus, more pictures will be available on MOCpages soon, I will post the link.
I hope you like it.
Please C & C!
