A striking and highly collectible uniform component from one of Dragon Models Ltd.’s most iconic officer releases, this 1/6 scale Wehrmacht-Heer white walking-out tunic represents the crisp summer dress worn by Oberleutnant Otto Carius during the Eastern Front period of 1944.
Produced as part of the Cyber-Hobby Exclusive Tiger Ace series, this tunic captures the distinctive appearance of late-war German officer field-dress when worn in non-combat settings — particularly for travel, inspections, or rear-area command duties.
Item Description
This listing is for the tunic only, as shown.
Features include:
Authentic white Heer summer officer-style cut
Four-pocket front with detailed flap stitching
Officer shoulder boards with red Waffenfarbe piping
Embroidered Wehrmacht breast eagle insignia
High-quality Dragon tailoring and proportional fit for 12” figures
Correct walking-out / dress presentation associated with armored officers
This is an excellent upgrade piece for collectors building a late-war German officer or Panzer commander display.
Historical Context
By 1944, German armored officers often retained walking-out or service dress uniforms for use away from the front lines, especially when operating in rear command posts or during transfers between units.
Otto Carius — one of Germany’s most well-known Tiger commanders — became strongly associated with this type of officer presentation in the later war period, particularly during quieter intervals behind the immediate combat zone.
This tunic reflects that rare intersection of front-line fame and formal Wehrmacht officer tradition.

Collector Notes
Dragon’s Cyber-Hobby exclusives from the early 2000s remain among the most sought-after WWII 1/6 releases. Uniform components from the Otto Carius Tiger Ace set are increasingly difficult to source loose, making this tunic an excellent standalone collectible for serious Wehrmacht and armor historians.
