Why this kit matters

The Tiger I became one of the most recognised tanks of World War II. Introduced in 1942, it combined thick armour with the powerful 88mm KwK 36 gun. Allied forces respected the Tiger for its long-range firepower and battlefield durability. Early production variants featured distinctive details such as drum cupolas, Feifel air cleaners, and early exhaust layouts that make them highly sought after by armour historians and model builders.

Michael Wittmann became one of Germany’s most famous tank commanders during the war. His command Tiger gained attention during battles on the Eastern Front and later during the Normandy campaign. Wittmann’s actions and the reputation of the Tiger I helped cement the vehicle’s place in military history and popular culture. This large-scale model recreates those early production features with a strong focus on realism and historical detail.

How to use it

Build using plastic model glue, hobby paints, sanding tools, sprue cutters, and tweezers for smaller components. Carefully assemble the individual track links and detailed suspension parts before painting and weathering. Once completed, display the finished Tiger I in a collection cabinet, on a shelf, or within a detailed battlefield diorama.

This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
