Tiger I Mid-Production

The Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, better known as the Tiger I, became one of the most famous German tanks of the Second World War.

Its combination of heavy armor and the powerful 8.8cm gun gave the Tiger a formidable battlefield reputation, while its distinctive shape has made it an enduring subject for military modelers.

This kit represents a mid-production Tiger I, capturing details associated with vehicles produced during the evolution of the design.

Zimmerit Coating

One of the standout features of this model is its Zimmerit texture.

Zimmerit was applied to many German armored vehicles during the war as an anti-magnetic mine coating. Its heavily textured appearance also creates a distinctive surface that can be especially rewarding to paint and weather.

The molded detail eliminates the need to manually reproduce the Zimmerit pattern yourself.

Metal Gun Barrel

The kit includes a metal gun barrel, providing a crisp and straight representation of the Tiger's famous main armament.

The metal component adds another premium modeling element while reducing the need to clean up mold seams along the barrel.

Link-and-Length Tracks

The included link-and-length tracks combine longer track sections with individual links around areas such as the drive sprockets and idlers.

This approach provides convincing track detail while reducing the assembly time associated with fully individual-link track systems.

Open or Closed Hatches

Multiple hatches can be assembled in either the open or closed position.

Closed hatches provide a clean combat-ready appearance, while open hatches can add more visual interest to a diorama or model displayed with compatible crew figures.

Included Accessories

The kit includes additional exterior details such as:

• Covered muzzle brake

• Front machine gun components

• Jerry can

• Ladder

• Clear parts

• Photo-etched components

These details help create a more complete and visually interesting finished vehicle.

Four Marking Options

Decals are included for four different versions, giving builders multiple choices when deciding how to finish their Tiger I.

Combine the markings with different camouflage, weathering, and terrain styles to create a historically inspired model.

Excellent for Weathering

The Tiger I's large armor surfaces, Zimmerit texture, tracks, and running gear provide an excellent canvas for advanced scale-modeling techniques.

• Mud and dirt
