1/35 Tiger II “300” s.Pz.Abt 503 Driver ‘’G.Wunderlich’’

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 Tiger II “300” s.Pz.Abt.503 Driver “G. Wunderlich” from Dynamo Models depicts one of the unseen heroes inside Germany’s most formidable heavy tank. As the designated driver of the Tiger II “300” from the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion, Wunderlich operated within the narrow confines of the hull, controlling over 69 tons of steel through the chaos of late-war Europe.

During the Normandy and Paderborn campaigns (1944–45), the battalion’s Tiger IIs symbolized both engineering excellence and the desperate final push of the German armored divisions. This figure captures the fatigue, precision, and professionalism of an elite tank driver focused on survival and mission performance amid collapsing fronts.

Figure Details & Realism

Sculpted in 1/35 scale with extraordinary fidelity, this resin figure represents Driver G. Wunderlich seated or partially emerging from his hatch, wearing regulation Panzer overalls and authentic field gear.
The kit includes two interchangeable heads — one without helmet for interior display, and another wearing the Panzer field cap for exterior positioning.

Every uniform crease, cable, and mechanical detail has been faithfully modeled. Subtle anatomy and facial sculpting allow painters to express emotion and realism, emphasizing the strain and focus of operating within the Tiger II’s cramped compartment.

Diorama & Display Use

Ideal for pairing with the Tiger II “300” Kommandant and Gunner figures (Refs. 35144 + 35145) or as part of a complete s.Pz.Abt.503 crew composition.
Wunderlich’s seated pose fits perfectly through an open driver’s hatch or maintenance scene, while his alternative head enables open-air diorama setups beside the vehicle.

Modelers can create high-impact vignettes — a driver awaiting orders, conducting repairs, or conversing with fellow crew — bringing authentic atmosphere to any late-war Panzer scene.

Material & Customization

Cast in premium-quality resin, the figure offers crisp surface detail and minimal cleanup.
Two head options allow for flexible presentation in interior or exterior configurations.
Painters can highlight the texture of fabric, metal headset components, and dust-stained overalls to achieve a lifelike appearance.
Assembly and painting are required; glue and paint not included.

Who It’s For

Designed for intermediate to expert modelers, WWII armor enthusiasts, and collectors of historically accurate German tank crews.
Whether displayed alone or integrated into a full diorama, Driver G. Wunderlich adds authenticity, human emotion, and technical depth to any Tiger II build.
An essential addition for builders completing the full Tiger II “300” crew lineup by Dynamo Models.
