A Formidable Feline
When it appeared in 1942, the Tiger I represented a significant evolution in German armor, with its heavy armor and powerful 88mm gun. Tiger Is produced between November 1942 and June 1943 and can be termed early production versions and featured a tubular cupola and hull rear air cleaners. Mainly deployed in new heavy armored battalions, early production Tiger Is were largely sent to the Eastern Front, where they enjoyed clear initial superiority.
About the Model:
★ The powerful heavily-armoured form of the Tiger I is artfully rendered accurately in compact 1/48 scale, with a moving turret and gun and faithful depiction of early production.
★ One-piece straight sections are employed in the assembly type tracks, which offer excellent detail.
★ The hull rear features early production air cleaners. Plenty of accessories give the model even more life.
★ There is plenty of detail to show despite the compact size, from accessories to fender hinges and much more.
★ The model features a realistic depiction of the suspension, with assembly-type tracks using one-piece straight sections.
★ The plastic chassis contributes to a fuss-free assembly and can be fitted with the included weights in the plastic lower hull to give the model a realistically heavy feel.
★ The kit comes with two marking options that can be used to depict Tiger Is fighting on the Eastern Front.
★ It measures 175mm (6.89in) in length and 77mm (3.03in) in width.
