Protected by up to 100mm of heavy armour and armed with a powerful 88mm gun, it could destroy Allied tanks from extreme range. The late production version, built from 1944, featured various improvements such as steel road wheels and a revised commander's cupola with a periscope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/48 scale Tamiya kit realistically models the solid, imposing appearance of the late production Tiger I. Special weights are included to be installed inside the hull, creating a satisfying sense of weight in the finished model. The tracks are an articulated, assembly type with integrated straight sections that make achieving a realistic sag effect easy. A commander half-figure and decals for two famous heavy tank battalions are included to complete the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccurately reproduces the late production Tiger I features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes weights to be installed inside the hull for a heavy feel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tracks are an articulated assembly type with natural sag\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA half-length portrait of the commander is included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures late-production all-steel road wheels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint Options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e505th Heavy Tank Battalion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e101st Heavy Tank Battalion (Wittmann's unit)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe perfect centrepiece for any 1\/48 scale collection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 177mm (6.97\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tiger I Late Production Plastic Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Commander Half-Figure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Set Of Metal Weights\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS Plastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor an even more detailed finish, the Tamiya Zimmerit Coating Sheet set for this kit is available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426423091401,"sku":"10032291","price":48.93,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40426725048521,"sku":"10032291","price":31.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/24033c4457a5400d84fd8572dab32cf2.webp?v=1763346683","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-48-german-tiger-i-late-production-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
