Posts about the German Tiger II heavy tank.
This model of Tiger II, a German heavy tank of the Second World War, is the 30th I've finished so far. I started it in July 2020 and, after a long pause, I finally completed it in December 2021.
Some years ago, during a fair, I stumbled upon this Tiger II kit: this vehicle has always fascinated me, and which often sported some camouflage more interesting than usual. I chose a three-tone (yellow, red and green) scheme with spots of different colors, the so-called ambush camouflage —or Hinterhalt-Tarnung in German.
The Tiger II was a heavy tank used by the German Army (Wehrmacht) during the Second World War, successor of the more famous Tiger I. It was unofficially nicknamed Königstiger ("Bengal tiger") by the Germans and King Tiger or Royal Tiger by the Allies. Here are some information about its history.
