About product

Tiger I in the Eastern Front version — a distorted kit from Fujimi

A distorted kit from the line of cute models of the Japanese company Fujimi, this time with the German heavy tank Tiger I as its subject, in an Eastern Front version. This is not a scale model: the hull is shortened, the turret enlarged and the whole comes across as a playful caricature. The build is simple and quick, yet the model keeps the characteristic features of the subject — the boxy hull, the massive barrel and the typical running gear with interleaved road wheels.

The real subject

The Tiger I was a German heavy tank of the Second World War, committed from 1942. It carried a gun of 88 mm and thick armor, thanks to which it was among the most feared machines of its day, but it paid for that with high weight, complicated production and unreliability. It appeared first on the Eastern Front and served there for the whole rest of the war; this version refers precisely to the machines from the eastern battlefield.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with nippers and sand the edges lightly. For the Eastern Front, German dark yellow with a simple camouflage suggests itself, while winter machines were often whitewashed in haste — a worn winter coat can be suggested strikingly on a distorted model with a sponge. A fine wash will bring out the detail, but the playful style also suits clean painting without weathering.

Who the model is for

  • For beginners and younger modelers — a quick and rewarding build.
  • For collectors of distorted models of military hardware.
  • For modelers who want a restful project between more demanding kits.

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

FAQ

No. It is a deliberately distorted cute kit with no scale. The proportions are shortened as a caricature, so the model does not match the real dimensions of the tank.

The line of distorted Fujimi models is conceived as a simple build, so it is suitable for less experienced modelers as well; for younger children we recommend adult supervision.
