1/35 WSS – Tiger ‘’222‘’ Crew Normandy 1944 Set 1

Historical Context & Theme

The WSS – Tiger “222” Crew Normandy 1944 Set 1 depicts two members of the s.SS-Pz.Abt.101 Tiger I “222” crew commanded by Uscha. Kurt Sowa during the Normandy campaign. These men served inside one of Germany’s most formidable tanks, symbolizing both engineering mastery and human endurance in the chaos of battle.
Each figure captures a moment of realism—two soldiers performing their duties under pressure as Allied forces advanced through the French countryside. The sculpt conveys the blend of fatigue, discipline, and focus characteristic of the Waffen-SS Panzer troops during this critical phase of WWII.

Figure Details & Realism

This 1/35 scale set includes two meticulously sculpted figures: one representing the tank commander (Kurt Sowa) and the other the gunner/loader. Both figures feature two interchangeable heads, offering alternate facial expressions to personalize your display.
Uniforms and gear are faithfully recreated, featuring SS panzer uniforms with realistic textures, folds, and equipment such as headsets, binoculars, and ammo shells. Their postures allow for interactive positioning—ideal for scenes inside or beside a Tiger I. Whether engaged in reloading or scanning the battlefield, every detail reflects accuracy and dynamism.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for Tiger I dioramas, these figures integrate seamlessly with Dynamo Models’ Tiger 222 series or with Tiger I kits from Tamiya, Dragon, Takom, or RFM. Display them together atop the tank turret, during a reload sequence, or resting beside the vehicle. Their interaction and balance create a natural storytelling flow—evoking the tension and teamwork of armored warfare in Normandy.
For added depth, they can be combined with additional crew members (radio operator, driver, loader) to complete the full Tiger “222” set.

Material & Customization

Each figure is 3D sculpted and cast in premium resin, ensuring crisp detail and minimal cleanup. The resin’s fine resolution enhances subtle features such as facial expressions, cloth textures, and small accessories. Both figures include interchangeable head options and can be painted in multiple schemes—from dark SS black uniforms to weathered field grays—reflecting different campaign stages.
Modelers can easily modify hand or arm positions for unique configurations, and the included accessories make the set adaptable to both action and rest scenes.
