Historical Data and Application

The Tiger I Ausf. E first appeared on the Eastern Front in late 1942; however, by December of the same year, it was deployed to North Africa, where it took part in the fighting in Tunisia during the African campaign of World War II (1942–1943). Tanks of the 501st Battalion have a lasting place in history, and their North African modifications—such as characteristic operational wear on the fenders and additional elements mounted by the crews—present a fascinating subject for modelers and historians alike.
