Numbers 13 and 14 the Osprey Modelling Series see the start of a regular subseries on modelling specific AFVs. The first covers the best German tank of WW2, the Tiger, the mount of top tank commander Michael Wittmann. With detailed step-by-step model photography, specially commissioned walkround photography, scale drawings and wartime shots, these books provide all the details needed to model the main Tiger I version – the Ausf E – and its variants. There is a full roundup of the models available on the market, details of where you can see the real thing, a select bibliography, and survey of websites of interest.

About the author

John Prigent built his first tank model in 1947 using cardboard from breakfast cereal packets and has been modelling ever since using all the materials available. He wrote two books for Darlington Publications, contributed to the first four armour books in the original Osprey Modelling series, and has also served as technical proofreader for both armour and modelling books from various publishers. Since 1970 he has contributed many articles and news columns to magazines such as Military Modelling, Boresight, IPMS Magazine and Scale Models International. He retired in 2004 as an armour class judge at Euromilitaire. In addition to John, this volume will contain the work of three other modellers of international reputation: Steve Zaloga, Frank De Sisto and Nic Cortese. These three will be building a selection of the models. John Prigent lives in Sussex, UK.
