About product

The model captures some of the very first production Tigers with the characteristic features of the early vehicles. The package combines injection-molded plastic with photo-etched parts and details; check the exact contents and the schemes against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The Tiger I (Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.E, Sd.Kfz.181) was a German heavy tank armed with the feared 88 mm KwK 36 gun. The initial production vehicles can be told by details such as the commander's cupola with vision ports, the drum headlight and the side stowage bins. The first Tigers were fielded in Tunisia at the beginning of 1943 and became the first Tigers the Allies met in battle. Thick armor and a massive gun made them a feared opponent.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and paint the running gear with its interleaved road wheels and the interior before you close the hull, as the running gear is the key detail on a Tiger. Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic and the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). North African vehicles usually wore a single-color desert camouflage: after the base coat, bring out the panel lines with a wash and add light dust pigments for a desert look.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of German heavy armored vehicles of the Second World War
  • Experienced modelers who will appreciate rich detail and photo-etched parts
  • Anyone interested in early Tigers and the fighting in North Africa
  • Fans of desert weathering with washes and pigments

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