“Achtung Raketen!” – Tiger 1 and Typhoon Mk.Ib 

 

This small diorama features a Tiger 1 - Ausf.E (Late Production), Turret Number 313 of 3./s.Pz.Abt. 503 (3rd Company 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion) and a Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib ZY-Y of 247 Squadron. 
The Tiger - ‘313’ - would become famous as the one which was overturned at Manneville during the Allied heavy bombing at the start of Operation 'Goodwood' on the 18 July 1944. Three of the crew actually survived that bombing. My version is modelled before that date while the detachment was still fighting against Allied tank forces during the battles around Caen. My scene depicts a close call for the Tiger 1 during a rocket attack from the Typhoon.

 

Kits: 1/48 Skybow Tiger 1 and 1/48 Italeri/Hasegawa Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib
Paints: Humbrol, Revell, Citadel and Railmatch Acrylics all applied by brush
Extras: Typhoon - Eduard PE set, Airfix motor and Airfix pilot
Extras: Tiger 1 - Hauler Grill set, Skybow track links, Stetched Sprue arial and Vallejo Mud
Base: MDF, polystyrene, filler, Woodland Scenics Trees and Turf, Army Painter Tufts, coffee stirrers and Tamiya figures

362nd fs p51d.

 

I’m not sure I should really be putting this up here as I couldn’t find any evidence that the 362nd were active over Normandy other than long range bomber escort and I certainly couldn’t find any evidence of full or even partial invasion stripes but none the less - got to,love a mustang with stripes! 😁
