PzKpfw. VI Tiger I Ausf. E: The icon as an exclusive special edition

If there is one tank that everyone really knows, it is the Tiger I. It is the epitome of the heavy battle tank of the Second World War and continues to fascinate historians and model makers to this day. With this special edition you don't just get a kit into your home, but a real experience package. You are spared the frustration of missing accessories: Since glue, brushes and the matching Aqua Color colors are already included, you can open the box and start building the legend straight away. A must for anyone who wants to make military history tangible.

Features

  • All-round carefree: As a gift set, the box already contains basic colors, a brush and the Contacta Professional Mini glue.
  • Exclusive Bonus: This special edition includes a high-quality poster of the Tiger I - perfect for your workshop or hobby room.
  • Amazing Details: Despite the compact 1:72 scale, the model with 182 parts impresses with details such as delicate fan grilles on the upper hull.
  • Moving elements: The rotating tower including storage box ensures a dynamic presentation.
  • Sophisticated construction: With Level 4, this kit offers experienced model builders and ambitious beginners a worthwhile challenge.

The Tiger I in version E is considered the most popular variant of this steel colossus. When assembling this model, you will be able to understand the massive construction in detail. From the nested castors to the powerful 8.8 cm cannon, everything is reduced to scale. With a length of just under 12 cm, the finished model can fit anywhere, but it doesn't look simple at all due to the large number of parts. It's the ideal project for a rainy weekend or as a valuable gift for history buffs.

Background information

Introduced in 1942, the Panzerkampfwagen VI “Tiger” changed the battlefield forever. It was more heavily armored and more heavily armed than anything the Allies could muster at the time. Powered by a massive water-cooled V12 Maybach HL 230 P45 carburettor engine that produced an impressive 694 hp, the 57-ton colossus could reach up to 38 km/h. His reputation was so fearsome that the sound of his chains often caused panic in opponents. With this set you can reconstruct a piece of contemporary technical history.
