Tiger I, German Army Heavy Tank: Eastern Front, 1942

This illustrated guide examines the famous WWII German tank and its operations in the Eastern Front, with extensive resources for modeling enthusiasts.

The Tiger I tank might have been a break-through—and even war-winning—weapon if Germany had produced it in sufficient numbers and introduced it earlier on the Eastern Front. Instead, the Tiger played a mainly defensive role as the Wehrmacht struggled to withstand the advances of the Red Army. In his third book on the Tiger in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver focuses on this fascinating period in the tank’s short history.

Oliver uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the tanks and units of the German army’s heavy panzer battalions. A large part of the book showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.

Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of the Tigers of 1943.
