German Tiger I Early Production Tank

In 1976 I had three of these Tigers in my Afrika Korps armor collection and all painted with Tamiya German Sand to blend into the desert in which I depicted each one! They were very well detailed for the age of the modern models beginning with Tamiya back then. The tracks were easy to place on the then complex suspension as the three rows of wheels had to be placed on the model in a certain sequence which was difficult as no one except Monogram had come out with such an enormous job. With prices of kits back then I could afford three tanks and have money left over to purchase the Tamiya up and coming Afrika Korps figures which went along side the tanks as in real life. Lots great memories with the kit.

this was a great kit to build. no probs at all. all parts fit well. no flashing to speak of. I think this is one of the better tigers to build..it comes with many versions. I went with the older version to go along wit my Pommern collection. for a diorama. if you are looking for something easy but versatile? this is it.

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.
