About product

Tiger I decals in 1:16 scale, vehicle 217, May 1944

A set of decals for a large-scale model of the Tiger I heavy tank. It is an accessory to a finished model, not a kit. The markings relate to the machine with the number 217, which in 1944 was commanded by Otto Carius; this set captures how it looked in May 1944.

The real subject

The Tiger I was a German heavy tank deployed from 1942. It carried an 88 mm gun derived from an anti-aircraft gun and thick frontal armor, for which it paid with high weight, demanding maintenance and limited mobility on soft ground. Otto Carius was among the commanders of these machines on the Eastern Front. The abbreviation Schw. in the name refers to assignment to a heavy tank battalion. The vehicle with the number 217 is a frequently built subject among modelers precisely because photographic documentation of it from several periods of 1944 survives.

How to work with the decals

  • Prepare the surface with gloss varnish so that the edge of the carrier film does not show.
  • Place the numbers symmetrically on both sides of the turret and, according to documentation, on the rear as well.
  • A softener helps a decal flow around the rivets, lifting eyes and grab handles on the turret.
  • Seal the markings with varnish and only then apply dust, mud and scuffs.

Who the set is for

The set suits modelers who build the Tiger I in 1:16 scale and want to capture exactly how a particular machine looked in a particular month of 1944. If you are building the same machine in a different time slice, watch the month given in the name, as the series covers several variants of the same vehicle that differ precisely in dating.

FAQ

It is not. This is a set of decals; the Tiger I model in 1:16 scale is obtained separately.

The distinguishing detail is the month given in the name. The markings of the same vehicle changed during the year.

Yes, 1:16 scale is the usual one for radio-controlled tanks and the decals are applied in the same way.
