German Tiger I Early Production Tank

A very good kit. Tamiya has produced an exceptionally detailed kit. The figure in the turret is really detailed, and the instruction book also has placement for the photo-etched grills (not included). There are also six different markings for three different variants of the tank. It also includes a length of fabric tube for the exhaust. It is a nice detail that makes the tank more realistic however, the fabric frays easily and is a little hard to cut. Also, I would recommend putting the wheels on after you paint it, because of the overlapping suspension system. All in all, a very great addition to any modeler's collection.

This is yet another Tamiya kit that pretty much falls together. Fairly few parts, which makes for fast assembly. Also includes easy to complete rubber band tracks, and the kit gives good instructions as to how to assemble them. They are certainly much better than the annoying track links you will find on many kits from other brands. The detail is good, the instructions are clear, and it goes together really well. What more could you want from a kit? It comes together to create a realistic and fearsome model Tiger I tank, making it a must have for any World War Two armor modeller. Would definitely recommend.

I've just finished with the tiger. It's everything and more than I thought it would be. Just a beautiful model once it's together. It was a good enough challenge but easy enough. Everything literally fell into place. The detail is spectacular. It's one you must have if you like a great looking model. I can't say enough about it. Four different versions with paint schemes. Tamiya was on point with this one. I want another one.
