"The noise of the Tiger, by its own engine and its tracks, it was something that we froze the blood in his veins. When we knew that in our area there were measures of this type we just thought was already dead. One of us said that if you shot a frame without killing you, you were only three seconds to jump out of your car before the arrival of the second bullet ... in fact, many employees the German tank drivers to recharge their piece ". (A British tank crewman)
On 26 May 1941, during the meeting on the development of new weapons, Adolf Hitler ordered that both the Dr.Porsche Henschel to supply their designs for a heavy tank, which had to be ready in the summer of 1942 . Krupp, however, was responsible for providing the main armament and turrets for the production of designs is that of Henschel's Porsche.
The development of the Tiger Henschel was based on previous patterns of VK 3001 (H) and VK 3601 (H), while the Tiger developed by Porsche's plan was based on the previous VK 3001 (P) Leopard. The new 45-ton panzer was to be armed with a 88 mm L/56 KwK.
Both media, both the Henschel prototype is to Porsche, they arrived at a station near Rastenburg (Ketrzyn) April 19, 1942 and then traveled 11 km to Rastenburg. On April 20, 1942 at 11:00 am, is the prototype Porsche Henschel that were presented to Adolf Hitler (his birthday) to Wolfschanze, East Prussia. In July 1942, both were tested at school tank in Berka, Germany. During the tests, the Tiger Porsche VK 4501 (P) was a failure, while the Tiger Henschel's VK 4501 (H) was a great success. In July 1942, the Henschel Tiger - VK 4501 (H) was approved and went into production.
The new vehicle was equipped with a welded hull, featuring perfectly squared lines with armor which reached a thickness of 102 mm and represented, along with the owner, the strength of the Tiger: The German tank was in fact made before the German engineers and builders to learn the lesson of the Russian T-34 where the protective plates, considerably tilted, conferred the capacity to resist virtually identical to while those of German tanks with a thicker armor but consists of vertical plates. The turret, as the hull, was heavily armored, with 110 mm steel on scudatura, and had the characteristic horseshoe-shaped plant, and his swing is obtained through an electromechanical system, it was very slow because of weight and was one of the major defects of the Tiger. The main armament, as already mentioned, was formed by anti-tank gun KwK 36 by 88 mm (56-gauge), which was installed in the tower and protected by a heavy steel scudatura 110 mm thick, was able to penetrate any U.S. car or UK to over 1500 m, while the heavy tanks Soviet-type JS-2 proved to be ineffective, with possible penetration on the front only within 300 m. In the tower was also installed a machine gun MG34 7.92 mm coaxial gun that was operated by the pointer via a pedal, while another MG34 was positioned right in the front wall of the hull. The suspensions were torsion bar, and to decrease the pressure on the land of the wagon, were taken 725 mm wide tracks, which could be replaced by a 520 mm track closer to the rail transport of Tiger. Its powerful engine requires constant maintenance (every 3 hours the car was on for about 20 minutes) and especially a lot of fuel (the tank was 540 liters sufficiente per soli 195 km su strada, molto meno in condizioni di terreno accidentato), che l'esercito tedesco non fu più in grado di fornire nelle ultime fasi del conflitto.
Il kit utilizzato per riprodurre questo modello è il fantastico Dragon 6253 della serie 3 in 1 che permette di realizzare un Tiger Late production, un Final o un carro comando; unica pecca del kit la mancanza della zimmerit in quanto per il resto è super accessoriato: canna in metallo, fotoincisioni e cingoli magic-truck. Per chi volesse una recensione completa del kit la può trovare sul sito di perthmilitarymodelling.
E' importante decidere subito quale versione realizzare onde evitare sbagli seguendo le istruzioni, io ho realizzato la versione cart-mounted control box with virtually the sole addition of crawlers Friul Model ATL-06. To achieve
Zimmerit may be used at different houses that produce aftermarket or printed in photogravure Zimmerit (Tamiya type), as I've always preferred the good old way home by spreading a thin sheet of stucco two-component Milliput then I went to affect a very small flat screwdriver, more particularly for the uninitiated is that the plot of Zimmerit Zimmerit is different from the turret in the hull.
As for the mounting of photogravures must say that damage to the model that little bit more but not all are easy to assemble, and I will have left many of the pieces in my bank.
The camouflage of a Late Tiger is only three tones, you can find different profiles on the Internet, I have laid a base of 94 and then with Humbrol Humbrol Humbrol 160 and 105 I have reproduced the data to airbrush camouflage.
After several washes with oil Bruno Van Dyck are passed to the pure pigments spread out on the vehicle using the Mig Dark and Dry Mud Mud for contrast but to make the model consistent with the board that I created. This is the final
risultao:
