1/35 Panzerkampfwagen VI(P) / Bergepanzer Tiger(P) – (2 in 1)

Continuing Dragon’s wave of 2-in-1 kits is this convenient 1/35 scale set that allows modelers to build either a Tiger (P) coated or a Bergepanzer Tiger (P). Only five Tiger (P) vehicles were produced in 1942. They were issued for training and testing purposes and only one saw combat as a command tank on the Eastern Front in September 1942. Three hulls were also converted into Bergepanzer recovery vehicles in September 1943. These featured a raised superstructure at the rear and the only recovery equipment installed was a small derrick crane, rams and timber beams.

Topic – Jason Eaton Interview

3-D printing, Star War Studio Builds, researching ILM models,

Jason Eaton was born in Annapolis Maryland to two loving hippie parents, who nurtured his creative desires to what must have been to them an exhausting degree. At an early age, he enjoyed building models. He took a break from that to try to understand music and women, while a teenager and a young man. He eventually returned to the much easier to understand arena of scale model construction.
