Historical background: The Tiger I Ausf.E is an icon of German armored forces from World War II. The vehicles of the so-called “Gruppe Fehrmann” consisted of tanks taken from depots and hastily repaired at the turn of 1944/45, fighting, among other places, in the Hanover region and in northern Germany against the Allies. They are distinguished by unique "field" camouflage and a mixture of parts from different Tiger variants, making them especially appealing for modelers.

The Dragon 7368 kit replicates the details characteristic of the machines used by Gruppe Fehrmann, such as non-standard shields, unique external mounts, and features from late production runs. This model is ideal for building dioramas depicting the late-war period or for expanding a collection of German armored vehicles.
