About this ebook
Probably the most famous tank of World War II, the Tiger I was originally conceived in 1941 in response to the German Army's experience in fighting British tanks and anti-tank guns in Western Europe and the North African desert. Following the invasion of Russia, the appearance of the Soviet T-34 and KW tanks lent a further impetus to the programme and 1,350 Tigers were produced between August 1942 and August 1944. The Tiger has proved to be one of the most popular modelling subjects of all time, with a vast and ever-increasing range of kits, aftermarket products and references available. This title is a detailed modelling guide on the '321', s.SS.PZ.Abt. 101, Normandy 1944 in 1/35 scale. This guide forms part of Osprey Modelling 37 Modelling the Tiger I also available as an ebook.

Introduction
Arguably the most famous tank of World War II, Germany’s Tiger I tank has been one of the most popular subjects of modellers for many years. Developed as a breakthrough weapon, combining thick armour and a lethal 88mm gun, the Tiger I became a feared adversary for the Allies who faced it in North Africa, Italy and on both the Eastern and Western fronts. The Tiger’s production run went from July 1942 to August 1944, with 1,354 vehicles completed. Many improvements and modifications took place over that two-year period, including upgrades to the engine, turret and running gear. Stages of the Tiger’s development have been categorized as ‘initial’, ‘early’, ‘mid’, ‘late’ and ‘final’, but there were numerous overlaps in factory-produced features that make some vehicles difficult to label.
Modelling the Tiger I came into vogue in the early 1970s when Tamiya produced a kit in their new line of 1/35-scale military miniatures, following soon after with a 1/25-scale version with an interior. In the early 1990s Tamiya produced a retooled 1/35-scale kit of a late-production Tiger I that was a quantum leap ahead of the previous offerings with regard to accuracy and detail. Earlier versions of the vehicle were also released after this, and a flood of aftermarket products followed allowing modellers to create very detailed versions of the tank. Academy and AFV Club later released Tiger I kits, with the Academy one featuring an interior. Tamiya’s 1/16-scale remote-controlled Tiger
