1/48 German Tiger I Early Production (Turret No.S33) Finished Model
High-Quality Markings and Paint Job
This fully finished model depicts the Tiger I with turret number S33 of the 2nd SS Panzer Division "Das Reich" at Kursk in 1943. One of the most well-known Tiger tanks among modelers, the S33 tank featured a distinctive two-color camouflage of green stripes over a dark yellow base. It also is known for its distinctive markings, including the gnome-like "Dancing Devil" and Chinese Kanji character for good luck applied upside-down. S33 and other units from "Das Reich" fought a fierce delaying action against soviet T34s, covering the Germany army's retreat under fire in September 1943.
