The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of German heavy tank in 1:35 scale.
When the situation of German forces in North Africa seemed hopeless, it was decided to send there a company of heavy Tiger tanks. They have already had their debut on the eastern front, but the Western Allies have not yet experienced combat with vehicles of this type. American and British Shermans suffered very heavy losses in skirmishes with the new enemy, and their biggest defeat was the Battle of Kasserine Pass, where they lost almost 200 tanks. It did not matter, however, because, in contrast to the Germans, Allies had a strong background in materials, which gave them a significant advantage and regular supplies of ammunition and new equipment.
Plastic model kit from Tamiya allows assembly of the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E heavy tank model of early production variant. Box includes a part of the hull, 6 sprues with model parts, air filters, rubber tracks, and decals.
Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction.
