1/35 German Tiger Crew No.2 ” Hast Du Feuer, Kamarad? “

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 German Tiger Crew No.2 “Hast Du Feuer, Kamerad?” by Dynamo Models captures an authentic moment of downtime amid the brutal tank warfare of World War II. Representing a crewman from the feared Tiger I heavy tank, this figure embodies the subtle interactions that occurred between tankers when the guns were silent. The phrase “Hast du Feuer, Kamerad?” (“Got a light, comrade?”) symbolizes fleeting moments of humanity and companionship in the chaos of the front lines — a cigarette shared between men who faced immense danger together.

Figure Details & Realism

Expertly sculpted in 1/35 scale, this resin figure presents a German Panzer crewman captured mid-conversation, likely responding to his comrade’s request for a light. His posture is natural yet dynamic, showing a relaxed stance while his facial expression conveys camaraderie and mild amusement. The figure includes two interchangeable heads, allowing modelers to customize his expression — from calm to slightly smiling. Details such as the Panzer uniform folds, headset, and rank insignia are meticulously rendered, ensuring authenticity and depth when painted.

Diorama & Display Use

This figure is ideal for pairing with Tiger I or Tiger II tank models, especially when displayed alongside German Tiger Crew No.1 to recreate a natural two-man interaction. Together, they form a perfect vignette for depicting life behind the front lines — moments of conversation, laughter, or reflection between crew members. Whether used in a workshop scene, rest period setup, or part of a larger tank diorama, this figure adds balance and humanity to any composition.

Material & Customization

Cast in high-quality resin, this model offers sharp surface details, minimal cleanup, and high compatibility with standard modeling materials. Painters can experiment with weathered black Panzer uniforms, subtle tonal variations, and shadow effects to bring out the realism of the sculpt. The two head options allow versatility — you can create slight emotional shifts or use both heads for alternate versions in different builds.

Who It’s For

Perfect for WWII armor enthusiasts, historical figure painters, and advanced diorama modelers, this figure complements any 1/35 scale German armor project. It is especially suited for those who appreciate subtle, story-driven compositions that highlight human presence within mechanized warfare.
