THOMAS BIRZER
RECREATES A FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPH IN 1:35
2
If you want to model a scene from
an original picture, it’s always a
special challenge.
Sometimes the picture raises more
questions than it does answers. If there was
anything unclear in this case, I tried to
present the feature as logically as possible.
There is only one known photo of the wreck
of the infamous “Wittmann Tiger 007”. In
order to depict a wreck with a blown-off
turret, you need a full interior. For this
reason, only the Tiger #5080 from Rye Field
Models (RFM) was considered.
This build report hopefully shows the kit can
equal those from Dragon, a long-time
benchmark for Tigers in 1:35.
