The Tiger I was a heavy tank put into production in 1942. It carried an 88 mm gun with a long barrel derived from an antiaircraft gun, and thick frontal armor with mostly vertical faces, without the pronounced slope that came to the fore on later designs. The running gear was made up of interleaved road wheels, which improved the distribution of weight but complicated maintenance. The early machines differed from the later ones in a number of details: rubber-tired road wheels, a different form of commander's cupola, wading equipment and filter units at the rear of the hull. Its high combat weight placed demands on the transmission and on transport, for which narrower transport tracks were fitted.
On this vehicle work from the bottom up: finish the hull, the running gear and the internal surfaces that a brush can no longer reach once it is closed. Keep the road wheels removable if you can and paint them separately from the tracks. After the base color apply a filter or a thin wash so that the detail comes into play, and only then build the mud and dust effects with pigments. The interleaved running gear calls for patience in filling the gaps; apply the pigment in layers and wipe the excess off with a dry brush. Pick out the metal parts, such as the barrel and the tools, with graphite or a dark metal shade.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
