Modelling a Tiger I Gruppe Fehrman, Germany 1945: In 1/35 scale

By Darren Thompson

Probably the most famous tank of World War II, the Tiger I was originally conceived in 1941 in response to the German Army’s experience in fighting British tanks and anti-tank guns in Western Europe and the North African desert. Following the invasion of Russia, the appearance of the Soviet T-34 and KW tanks lent a further impetus to the programme and 1,350 Tigers were produced between August 1942 and August 1944. The Tiger has proved to be one of the most popular modelling subjects of all time, with a vast and ever-increasing range of kits, aftermarket products and references available. This title is a detailed modelling guide on the ‘F05’, Gruppe Fehrmann, Germany 1945 in 1/35 scale. This guide forms part of Osprey Modelling 37 Modelling the Tiger I also available as an ebook.

Darren Thompson

An old friend, Dr. Nauer, always refers to Thompson as ‘Dr. Thompson’. It is not known if either is an actual doctor, but Dr. Thompson has been giving practice to the arrangement of words for a lifetime. He lives near the mountains along a river and hums while muddling around his garden. He writes daily and sometimes it’s good. That about sums things up. He writes, gardens, and has lived life in love with his family and friends for the past forever. A black cat named Siggy-Simone likes to ride his shoulder and has been integral to the process.In other worlds, he has ridden big waves on the back of a fishing boat in the Bering Sea, attended a random wedding at a pyramid in the middle of a jungle, and skied some of the finest powder in the world. These days he works in Space supporting an interesting program where he spends time thinking about explorations into the outer limits and writing.
