Tamiya 1:35 Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger I late version

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of German heavy tank in 1:35 scale.

During the II World War there was a machine that wherever it appeared, aroused a panic among its opponents. It was a Tiger, an excellent heavy German tank. Its powerful 88 mm main gun and thick armor reaching 120 mm, made him a very difficult opponent. For every destroyed Tiger, it accounted for at least 10 destroyed Allied tanks. Despite its advantages, this vehicle also had shortcomings. Complex and expensive production process and mechanical failures caused that despite the huge potential of this tank, it was not able to change the fate of war.

Plastic model kit from Tamiya allows assembly of the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger heavy tank in the late production variant. Box includes a part of the hull, 6 sprues with model parts and decals.

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
