1/35 Tiger II “300” s.Pz.Abt 503 Kommandant and Gunner

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 Tiger II “300” Kommandant & Gunner crew set from Dynamo Models immerses modelers into the steel heart of the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion, one of Germany’s most renowned armored units of World War II.
This two-figure set depicts the Kommandant and Gunner of the iconic Tiger II “300”, a tank that embodied technological dominance and battlefield precision during the Normandy 1944–45 campaigns.
Together, they portray the tense collaboration between commander and gunner inside the cramped turret — a combination of leadership, discipline, and mechanical skill that defined the elite Panzer crews of late-war Germany.

Figure Details & Realism

This 1/35 resin set includes two highly detailed figures, each featuring two interchangeable heads for flexible display options: one with a Panzer field cap, the other with headphones or headset for interior scenes.
The Kommandant is sculpted in a commanding pose, binoculars at hand, scanning the battlefield. The Gunner “G. Heider” adopts a focused stance, ready at his gun position.
Uniforms include authentic Panzer overalls, rank insignia, belts, and headset wiring — all reproduced with crisp casting and anatomical precision. Natural postures and expressive faces allow for advanced painting work that highlights realism and emotion.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for recreating the Tiger II “300” scene commanded by Hauptmann Walter Scherf, this duo is designed for seamless placement inside or around the turret.
The Kommandant and Gunner pairing brings balance, narrative, and dynamism to any WWII armor diorama — ideal for portraying tank coordination during combat, observation, or reloading phases.
Their complementary poses make them equally suitable for maintenance vignettes, open-hatch compositions, or crew interaction scenes, enhancing visual storytelling and atmosphere.

Material & Customization

Both figures are cast in premium resin with sharp surface detail and minimal cleanup required.
Each includes two optional heads, allowing four total variations within a single set — offering creative freedom for interior or exterior diorama compositions.
Painters can bring them to life through weathering effects, metallic reflections, and fabric shading, achieving museum-grade realism.
Compatible with major Tiger II kits (Takom, Dragon, Tamiya, Border Model), ensuring perfect scale consistency.

Who It’s For

Designed for intermediate to expert modelers, WWII armor collectors, and diorama enthusiasts seeking historically accurate, dynamic German tank crews.
This double figure set delivers both narrative depth and technical precision — ideal for those wanting to recreate the human dimension of armored warfare.
Collectors value its limited-run exclusivity, while painters appreciate the expressive anatomy and perfect compatibility with Tiger II “300” displays.
