About this ebook
Darren Thompson
An old friend, Dr. Nauer, always refers to Thompson as ‘Dr. Thompson’. It is not known if either is an actual doctor, but Dr. Thompson has been giving practice to the arrangement of words for a lifetime. He lives near the mountains along a river and hums while muddling around his garden. He writes daily and sometimes it’s good. That about sums things up. He writes, gardens, and has lived life in love with his family and friends for the past forever. A black cat named Siggy-Simone likes to ride his shoulder and has been integral to the process.In other worlds, he has ridden big waves on the back of a fishing boat in the Bering Sea, attended a random wedding at a pyramid in the middle of a jungle, and skied some of the finest powder in the world. These days he works in Space supporting an interesting program where he spends time thinking about explorations into the outer limits and writing.

Introduction
Arguably the most famous tank of World War II, Germany’s Tiger I tank has been one of the most popular subjects of modellers for many years. Developed as a breakthrough weapon, combining thick armour and a lethal 88mm gun, the Tiger I became a feared adversary for the Allies who faced it in North Africa, Italy and on both the Eastern and Western fronts. The Tiger’s production run went from July 1942 to August 1944, with 1,354 vehicles completed. Many improvements and modifications took place over that two-year period, including upgrades to the engine, turret and running gear. Stages of the Tiger’s development have been categorized as ‘initial’, ‘early’, ‘mid’, ‘late’ and ‘final’, but there were numerous overlaps in factory-produced features that make some vehicles difficult to label.
Modelling the Tiger I came into vogue in the early 1970s when Tamiya produced a kit in their new line of 1/35-scale military miniatures, following soon after with a 1/25-scale version with an interior. In the early 1990s Tamiya produced a retooled 1/35-scale kit of a late-production Tiger I that was a quantum leap ahead of the previous offerings with regard to accuracy and detail. Earlier versions of the vehicle were also released after this, and a flood of aftermarket products followed allowing modellers to create very detailed versions of the tank. Academy and AFV Club later released Tiger I kits, with the Academy one
