Trumpeter Trumpeter Tiger 1 Mid Type (7243)

Trumpeter 1/72 Scale Tiger I Tank Mid Model Kit Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, often shortened to Tiger. It was an answer to the unexpectedly formidable Soviet armour encountered in the initial months of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, particularly the T-34 and the KV-1. The Tiger I is the first tank mounting the 88 mm gun, in its initia... morel armoured fighting vehicle-dedicated version, which in its Flak version had previously demonstrated its effectiveness against both air and ground targets. During the course of the war, the Tiger I saw combat on all German battlefronts. It was usually deployed in independent tank battalions, which proved to be quite formidable. While the Tiger I was feared by many of its opponents, it was over-engineered, used expensive and labour intensive materials and production methods, and was time-consuming to produce. Only 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944.   SPECIFICATIONS: Length: 116.4mm Width: 50.6mm Height: 46.4mm Number of Parts: 80+   Paints and glue are required to complete this model kit.
