1/35 Tiger II “300” s.Pz.Abt 503 Radio ‘’Hannes Schneider’’

Historical Context & Theme

The Tiger II “300” s.Pz.Abt.503 Radio Operator “Hannes Schneider” represents one of the key crew members inside Germany’s most formidable heavy tank of World War II. Serving in the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion, Schneider operated the internal radio and machine gun systems that were vital to both communication and defense during the late-war campaigns of Normandy 1944.

Inside the confined space of the Tiger II, the radio operator’s role demanded precision, discipline, and calm under fire. This figure captures that quiet intensity — a soldier fully focused on his instruments while chaos unfolded outside the armor.

Includes multiple head options for varied display configurations, offering flexibility in presentation — whether positioned inside the turret or standing near the vehicle. The ultra-fine 3D printing process preserves sharp facial definition, crisp fabric folds, and authentic field gear details, making it an outstanding painting subject.
