About product

An early-production Tiger I with interior equipment, 1:35 scale

A kit of the Tiger I heavy tank in the form of the earliest production of the beginning of 1943. The essential feature of this set is the complete interior equipment: the engine, the transmission, the fighting compartment, the seats, the ammunition stowage and the inside of the turret. The model can therefore be built with the hatches open or with part of the hull left uncovered, so that you can see inside. Rye Field Model is among the makers who work on tank interiors consistently, and this set is one of their most extensive. Workable tracks assembled from individual links are included as well.

The real subject

The Tiger I was a German heavy tank introduced in 1942. The earliest vehicles differ from the later ones in a number of particulars: they have a different arrangement of the commander's cupola, different exhaust covers, front headlights, a different treatment of the fenders and equipment for fording. It is exactly these differences that decide whether a model corresponds to a particular period or merely represents a Tiger in general.

Building and painting tips

A build with an interior has the order reversed: first the interior is finished and painted, and only then is the hull closed up. Lay the painting out in advance, therefore, and reckon with the fact that part of the work will not be visible in the end. Line the interleaved road wheels up dry; fitting them is the most laborious part on a Tiger. Put the track links together dry and only then join them. After varnishing, weather the model with a wash and pigments.

Who the model is for

  • For experienced modelers of German heavy hardware.
  • For those who want a model with the interior exposed.
  • For builders of workshop and repair-scene dioramas.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It does, and a complete one: the engine, the transmission, the fighting compartment, the seats, the ammunition stowage and the inside of the turret. It is exactly the interior equipment that sets this set apart from other releases of the same tank.

The other way around than usual. First the interior is finished and painted, and only then is the hull closed up. The painting therefore has to be laid out in advance.

In the arrangement of the commander's cupola, the exhaust covers, the headlights, the fenders and the equipment for fording. These details determine the period.

Rather not. The interior equipment means a large number of parts and the need to plan the painting in advance. The most laborious jobs are fitting the interleaved wheels and putting the tracks together.
