- HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Sd.Kfz.181 Tiger #131, a German Tiger I tank, gained historical prominence during its deployment in the North African theater, specifically in Tunisia during World War II. In 1943, during the Tunisia Campaign, this Tiger I was captured by British forces and subsequently became one of the very few intact Tiger tanks to be used by the Allies. The Tiger #131 was a significant asset for the Allies, providing valuable insights into the capabilities of the feared German heavy tank.
Deployed by the German Afrika Korps, the Tiger #131 participated in battles against British and Allied forces, showcasing its formidable firepower and robust armor. However, in an ironic twist of fate, the tank fell into British hands after sustaining damage in combat. The British Army managed to repair and restore the tank, recognizing its technological advancements and incorporating it into their own testing and evaluation programs.
This meticulously crafted 1:50 scale model replicates the historical Tiger #131, offering enthusiasts and collectors an opportunity to own a piece of World War II history. With authentic details and markings, this replica pays homage to the iconic Tiger I and its unique role on the North African battlefield. A must-have for military history aficionados, this replica captures the essence of a tank that transitioned from Axis might to Allied study.
