Italeri 15755 1/56 PzKpfw. VI Tiger I (28mm)

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

The Tiger was certainly the most famous armoured vehicle of World War II. Its fire power (thanks to its main armament based on the lethal 88 mm. gun) and the strong protective armour, made it the dominating factor on all battlefields during the years 1943-44. It was, however, affected by considerable problems, due to its complex mechanical construction. The Tiger crews were continuously engaged in maintenance work, which was aggravated through extreme conditions in the African desert and the Russian Plains.
