I'm considering picking up this kit and making it into a North African Panzer. Does the kit include decals/optional parts for North Africa, or am I'm going to have to go out and get some aftermarket parts? If so, what would I need?



And one last thing, I'd also need' to pick up a new commander figure, as the one provided with the kit (See above) is in the European uniform.. I'm looking for a similar pose, any advice?

Any help would be much appreciated. :-)

that will work, but tamiya already makes an early tiger 1 kit for the n. africa front. it even has a figure in tropical uniform.

Really? I can't seem to find it.

Hi,

Here you have one - Tiger I Initial Production - #35227

Thanks, I'll be sure to pick it up. :-)

Oh, and one more question- What color are the DAK uniforms? Is it a khaki or more of a dunkelgelb?

Hi,

Links for N. Afrika German uniforms from a thread started by Anders.

• Oberleutnant (Panzer, tropical)


• Unteroffizier (Tropical)


• Feldwebel (Panzer, Afrika Korps)


• Enlisted Man (Panzer, Afrika Korps)

Tuga,the tiger 1 in your photo does not include any decals for the africa korps but it has several painting instructions for a North Africa version sand color ,the rest of the painting instructions are for the russian campain Kursk,Leningingrad front campaings.Boa noit.

Nick, that gray one is one I just made a deal with a guy on HyperScale for $15 + 4.50 s/h. I checked Squadron's website and it does say it has the proper options and decals for a North African Tiger.

cool i saw this tank in my hobby shop this is a nice kit
