I'm in need of some photo references regarding the proper unit(s) fielding initial version Tigers on the Eastern Front.
I'm beginning to build a diorama depicting Dragon's Inital Production Tiger I (6252) in a winter scene. The unit designations contained in the kit are probably satisfactory, but I would prefer to view some photo references. Where can I find some informative as well as suitable ones?

Hi Randy, these are some very informative websites ( ref's, photo's, technical data, etc ).
They are 2 of the best websites I've come across on the internet. I'm quite sure you'll find "The Tiger I Information Center" to be very helpful.

Hey, Ralph
After a brief review of the sites you recommended, they appear to contain much, if not all, of the information I'd hoped to find. Now, I have some viable options to consider before continuing with my project.
Thanks, Randy

Hey, Andrew
The site you recommended is awesome as well. Now, it's a matter of determining what story to convey and focusing on the project. It'll be a winter scene using Tank's "German Tankers" as the crew. I'm pleased with the quality of the figures and how the finished product turned out.
Thanks, Randy
