Casemate Books Tank Craft: Tiger I & Tiger II German Army & Waffen SS Eastern Front 1944

In spite of the relatively small numbers produced, the Tiger I and Tiger II tanks are arguably the most famous armored fighting vehicles of the Second World War. This book, the first in the TankCraft series, uses archive photos and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the tanks and units of the German Army and Waffen-SS heavy panzer battalions that attempted to hold back the Red Army during 1944.

A large part of the book showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details, as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field, are also examined providing everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of the tanks that fought from the snow-covered fields of Byelorussia and the Ukraine, through the Baltic States and into Poland and Hungary.

REVIEWS:

"This is one neat book. Lots of color schemes to please modelers and info about available kits. Book will also interest AFV enthusiasts.” - AMPS Indianapolis, March 2017

"From a technical standpoint the book is a winner. Throw in all of the unit histories and then add the modelling, and it is a superb book on the Tiger I-II tanks… The book is really a showcase of the modellers and their builds, and gives the rest of us a shot in the arm to up our game on our next Tiger tank.” - A Wargamer's Needful Things

A highly recommended source of inspiration and ideas for diorama and model builders looking to build a Tiger tank. - Model Builder International
