German Tiger I Mid Production Tank

Oh, I absolutely loved this model! This kit was great! I highly recommend this kit for someone just starting out! The only problem a beginner might have is the road wheels, but that is about it

This is a large model. The exterior detail is excellent and the addition of Tamiya Kit (35180 German Tank Engine Maintenance crew set), rounds the detailing of this model out excellently. The only challenging build on this model was making the individual tracks. Building the tracks is time consuming but when completed they look so much better than the rubber tracks supplied with most models. This is a great model for a diorama, specifically due to the exterior detail.

My first Tiger since building the Tamiya kit from the 70's. This one goes together very well and is nicely detailed. I added the Eduard zimmerit set and photo etched details. Those sets added a lot of extra effort in the build, but is very worth it. This kit has individual tack links which take time to put together, but look much better than the rubber band type tracks. I sanded off the ejector marks on the track links which took quite a bit of time. I wish it had the length and individual links like the Trumpeter KV-2. That system worked very well. This kit builds up into a very nice mid-production Tiger.
