Tamiya German Tiger I Mid Production (1:35 Scale)

Developed in response to the Russian T34 tank threat, the German Tiger I entered service in 1942 and soon evolved through a series of practical updates. This Tamiya German Tiger I Mid Production model kit recreates the mid production configuration used from July 1943 to January 1944, reflecting changes introduced to improve visibility, equipment layout and battlefield usability.

Key revisions of this period included a redesigned turret commander’s cupola with seven periscopes, a side pivoting hatch and an anti-aircraft machine gun ring mount. The specification also introduced Zimmerit coating on the vertical surfaces of the hull and turret, a rear hull gun travel lock, and a revised headlamp arrangement. Further updates removed the turret side pistol ports, while the large diameter rubber rimmed road wheels remained in use, with the outer first road wheels often removed in muddy and snowy conditions. Intended for adult constructors, it suits military modellers looking to build an accurate Tiger I variant from this production window.
