Tiger I mounted on wooden display base, painted Black enamel paint. Model attached to this base via a screw drilled from inside of hull through floor base. Model was 1980s-era TAMIYA Tiger I kit, which had symmetric turret design although real Tiger tanks had asymmetric design (bulge on loader side for ease of interior artillery shell handling).

German term for any combat vehicle was called Kampfwagen (fighting wagon or combat vehicle). Tanks given a special designation Panzerkampfwagen (metal box fighting vehicle), abbreviated to just Panzer, thus adopted as-is into English vernacular.

English term "Tank" derived from British experiment of using armored tractors to cross enemy barb-wire laden and machine-gun swept No-Man's Land during WW1 trench warfare in northern France. Since tractor prototype was large and bulky, they concealed its purpose by stating it was a special "water tank" carrier designed to bring fresh water to frontline infantrymen. Hence term "Tank" became part of English vocabulary.

Inset 1 : Tiger tanks had frontal Antrieb (drive) system by which sprockets would gripe the tracks, rest of assembly wee road wheels and rear idlers. However, the Schachtellaufwark (interleaved suspension) was unique feature incorporated into other WW2 German tanks. Interleaving design provided more stable cross-country performance up to 40 km/hour (impressive for a 60-ton tank), but also acted as defacto armor protection since enemy rounds had to penetrate multiple road wheels before reaching the hull.
