About this deal

Vimoutiers in Normandy, France. The renowned " Vimoutiers Tiger tank". Abandoned and then destroyed (to prevent enemy capture) by its German crew in August 1944. An outdoor monument in poor condition due to the effect of time and the elements (many original parts such as hatches and both rear exhaust pipes missing).

The captured tank was officially handed over to the Bovington Tank Museum by the British Ministry of Supply on 25 September 1951. In June 1990, the tank was removed from display at the museum and work began on its restoration. This was carried out both by the museum and the Army Base Repair Organisation and involved an almost complete disassembly of the tank. The Maybach HL230 engine from the museum's Tiger II was installed (the Tiger's original Maybach HL210 had been sectioned for display [107]), along with a modern fire-suppressant system in the engine compartment. In December 2003, Tiger 131 returned to the museum, restored and in running condition. This Tiger was used in the film Fury, the first time an original, fully mechanically operable Tiger I has appeared in a movie since World War II. [108] The fire suppression system was removed as it interfered with engine maintenance and was too obtrusive.

If you're interested in certain time periods, you'll find plenty of options from our World War I and WW2 model kits. The Armortek late variant Tiger 1 kit is the version from circa 1944. The most obvious visual changes on this variant compared to the early variant Tiger 1 are that the late variant had “steel wheels”, there is no fiefel air cleaner and at the front of the tank there is a monocular sight (single hole to the right of the main gun barrel) and notched extensions were added to the front of the hull for tow cables. A report prepared by the Waffenamt-Prüfwesen 1 gave the calculated probability of perforation at range, on which various adversaries would be defeated reliably at a side angle of 30 degrees to the incoming round. Regarding the overheating engines, the HL 210 engine caused no troubles during the recent time. All occurring breakdowns resulted from the low quality of driver training. In several cases engine failures have to be put down to the missing remote engine thermometer. Five engines have reached more than 3,000km without essential failures. A good driver is essential for the successful deployment of the Tiger, he must have a good technical training and has to keep his nerve in critical situations… [84]The Tiger I ( German: [ˈtiːɡɐ] ⓘ) was a German heavy tank of World War II that operated beginning in 1942 in Africa and in the Soviet Union, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. It gave the German Army its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8cm KwK 36 gun (derived from the 8.8cm Flak 36, the famous "eighty-eight" feared by Allied troops). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. [12] After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favour of the Tiger II. Bird, Lorrin Rexford; Livingston, Robert D. (2001). World War II Ballistics – Armor and Gunnery.

Post-war testing by the Allies found the tank to be uncomfortable and spartan. For example, the gunner suffered from clumsy controls and a cramped area. [44] This was in contrast to German crews who found them to be spacious and comfortable. [45] Cost [ edit ] Australian Armour and Artillery Museum.

Model Tanks Australia Henschel & Sohn began the development of a large tank design in January 1937 when the Waffenamt requested Henschel to develop a Durchbruchwagen ("breakthrough vehicle") in the 30–33 tonne range. [16] Only one prototype hull was ever built, and it was never fitted with a turret. The Durchbruchwagen I's general shape and suspension resembled the Panzer III, while the turret resembled the early Panzer IV C turret with the short-barrelled 7.5cm L/24 cannon.
