Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the most famous German heavy tank of the Second World War in the giant 1:16 scale. The box contains over 1500 parts on 47 sprues, a full interior of the hull and the turret, individual track links (no rubber band tracks), photo-etched parts, copper cable and metal pins for the running gear. Trumpeter also adds tools for creating Zimmerit. The finished model measures 527.5 x 230.6 mm - it is a heavy piece that needs a good share of a display case and of a workbench.
The Tiger I was the German answer to the Soviet T-34 and KV tanks. It weighed around 57 tons, was powered by a Maybach twelve-cylinder engine and carried the eighty-eight KwK 36 L/56 - a gun that at ordinary combat ranges penetrated practically everything that stood against it. Only about 1350 were built. Late production can be told from early machines at a glance: steel road wheels with internal springing instead of wheels with a rubber tire, a new commander's cupola with periscopes instead of the early cylindrical one, a single headlight on the hull front and a range of simplified details. This is therefore a late Tiger, not an early machine.
Work from the bottom up: first the running gear and the interior, and only then close the hull up - otherwise there is no reaching the inside again. Glue with thin cement for plastic. At 1:16 every single scratch left by filler shows, so sand in several stages and spray the surfaces with filler primer before painting, as it reveals the flaws. Apply Zimmerit in small sections. Paint with an airbrush, then gloss varnish, decals and weathering: dust and mud effects on the running gear, a metallic sheen on the track edges. The large format is an enormous opportunity for weathering - even fine dusting with pigments will show.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
