1/35 German Tanker ‘’Reloading Tiger/King Tiger/Panther‘’ No.1

Historical Context & Theme

During World War II, German tank crews performed countless critical reload operations under immense pressure — moments that often determined the outcome of an engagement. The “German Tanker Reloading” No.1 figure captures this intense, everyday aspect of armored warfare. Designed for compatibility with iconic tanks such as the Tiger I, King Tiger, and Panther, this model represents a crewman in action, embodying the coordination, discipline, and fatigue of life inside an armored behemoth.
This figure allows modelers to recreate a realistic reloading or resupply moment — a pause between battles when the crew prepared their vehicle for another mission.

Figure Details & Realism

This 1/35 scale resin figure is sculpted with exceptional anatomical precision, showing a German tanker bent slightly forward, holding an 88mm shell or lifting an ammunition case. The clothing and accessories are modeled after authentic Panzer uniforms, complete with the signature field overalls and subtle insignia of the German armored troops.
The set includes two interchangeable heads, one with a field cap and another with a headset-equipped tanker cap, giving flexibility to match various diorama settings. Fine surface details — such as creased fabric, gloves, and metal shell texture — make this figure ideal for advanced painting and weathering techniques.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfectly suited for use alongside the Tiger I, King Tiger, or Panther tanks, this figure can be placed in loading positions near the turret, ammunition crates, or vehicle rear. Whether in a field rearming scene or a maintenance vignette, he brings realism and motion to armored dioramas.
Combining this figure with others from the German Tank Crew “Reloading” series can create dynamic multi-crew compositions showing teamwork, stress, and exhaustion in the midst of battle preparation.

Material & Customization

Produced in high-quality resin, the figure comes unassembled and unpainted for complete creative control. The resin’s crisp detailing allows precise brushwork on folds, insignia, and facial features. The included head options enable modelers to choose between an open or closed expression, or even modify further with aftermarket parts.
Painters can experiment with oil stains, dirt, and metal effects on the shell or uniform to match any Eastern or Western Front scene.

Who It’s For

A perfect choice for intermediate to advanced modelers, this figure adds technical and emotional depth to any WWII German armor project. Collectors and diorama builders will appreciate the natural pose and authenticity — ideal for bringing armored maintenance or supply moments to life.
