The original Tiger I papercraft photos are from an acquaintance in Germany.
I heard this completed 1/20 scale Tiger I papercraft was contributed by a collection of Walter J. Spielberger and had been displayed in the Panzermuseum Munster until recently.
I researched the history of the Panzer papercraft in WW2 German and wrote two articles for TAMIYA NEWS Magazine before. A publisher produced several papercrafts of German tanks in WW2, German citizens could purchase them by proving their ID at OKH office. The Tiger I papercraft was in 1944.
