1/35 WSS – Tiger ‘’222‘’ Crew Normandy 1944 Set 2

Historical Context & Theme

The Tiger I “222”, part of Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101, symbolizes the might of German armored divisions during the Normandy campaign of 1944. This set represents two essential crew members — the radio operator and the driver — who worked in perfect coordination to maneuver and maintain communication under combat conditions.
Set during the intense battles of Normandy, these figures capture both the precision and fatigue of elite Waffen-SS tankers facing the Allied advance. Their relaxed yet ready poses embody the moments between engagements, bringing a powerful human touch to one of history’s most formidable tanks.

Figure Details & Realism

Each figure in this 1/35 scale resin set showcases exceptional sculpting detail, from the folds of the black Panzer uniforms to the subtle textures of equipment and headgear.

• The driver is depicted leaning from the hatch or standing beside the Tiger, focused and composed, complete with two head options (helmeted or bare-headed).

• The radio operator features a lifelike stance and expression, fitted with headset details and alternate arm positions for customization.
  Both figures include optional accessories for flexible display — allowing modelers to adapt them for battle scenes, refueling breaks, or inspection moments.

Diorama & Display Use

This set is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Tiger I “222” tank from RFM, Tamiya, Dragon, or Takom. Together, the figures can occupy the open hatches of the turret and hull or be positioned outside the vehicle for dioramas depicting repair, briefing, or resupply.
Combine them with Set 1 (35104) to recreate a full Tiger crew scene or use individually for smaller, story-rich vignettes. Their balance between relaxed realism and operational readiness makes them ideal for dynamic WWII German armor displays.

Material & Customization

Produced in high-quality resin, these figures provide crisp, sharp detailing and minimal cleanup. Each comes with two interchangeable heads and optional parts to tailor them for specific Tiger I variants or environments.
Painters can highlight the unique contrasts of the Waffen-SS black Panzer uniform with subtle weathering and realistic skin tones. The clean sculpting allows for intricate brushwork and layering techniques, perfect for advanced hobbyists.

Who It’s For

Perfect for experienced modelers, WWII armor enthusiasts, and collectors who value authenticity, personality, and storytelling. This set adds depth and cohesion to any Tiger I build — capturing the professionalism and quiet intensity of German Panzer crews in Normandy 1944.
