Description
This is a sheet of decals for marking military vehicle models.
A collection of markings for Tiger I heavy tanks of 3rd Company, 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion, as seen during Operation Zitadere, the famous Battle of Kursk, the largest tank battle in history, on the Eastern Front in the summer of 1943.
The Tiger I of the 3rd Company took part in the battle alongside the 7th Armoured Division and the 25th Tank Regiment, and more variants can be seen than other companies.
As with all decal sets, this set has been carefully produced over a period of more than two years of study and the collection of a vast amount of information.
The vehicles belonging to this unit show a mixture of letter styles, uneven number spacing and slopes, and confusion over the type of Balkenkreuz.
The decal set neatly organises these various markings for each vehicle and eliminates the need for the modeller to estimate them by simply selecting the options.
In particular, the special black and white numerals on cars 314 and 323 have been faithfully reproduced in filled-in detail.
