Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the Tiger I heavy tank in 1:35 scale from the manufacturer Border Model. The box is listed as a 3in1 variant, that is with the option of building several different standards according to your own choice. Border Model is one of the newer brands that make their name with fine surface engraving and richly detailed moldings, so the model forms a good basis even for modelers who want to build without further accessories.
The Tiger I, officially the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E, was a German heavy tank of the Second World War with an 88 mm gun and a heavily armored boxy hull. The initial production machines differed from the later series in a whole range of details: a differently designed commander's cupola, rubber-rimmed road wheels, a system for drawing in and filtering intake air with external canisters at the rear, side-mounted dischargers and the arrangement of the tools on the hull. It is exactly these elements that set the early series apart from the more commonly built middle and late standards and they are the main reason why the initial production Tiger is built as a subject of its own.
Plan the sequence according to the final variant before the first gluing, because with sets of the 3in1 kind the choice carries over into the parts of the hull, the turret and the equipment. Finish and paint the running gear and the internal details before you close the hull up, otherwise you will no longer reach them. Use liquid cement on the plastic, which is drawn into the joint by capillary action. Spray a primer before painting and only then the base shade. With heavy tanks the weathering is built up in layers: a dark wash in the recesses and around the rivets, then dust and mud pigments on the running gear and the lower parts of the hull, and finally a dry brush on the edges. Leave the tracks and the wheels somewhat different in color from the hull, otherwise the model merges into one surface.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
