TAMIYA German Tiger I
Description
An early precursor to the Tiger II tank, but the Tiger I is worthy of note too. It was a German heavy tank used throughout the Second World War and while its successor adopted sloped armour, the Tiger I was characteristically box-like. What stands out about the Tiger I was that it was a superb feat of engineering – in fact, it was so technically superior at its time, it was considered to be over-engineered – too complex to build and maintain. But, it was mechanically robust and did perform well on the most part, but ultimately was let down when the terrain didn’t suit it (it didn’t work well in mud or snow due to its weight), and also had a high rate of fuel consumption.
This is another great little kit from Tamiya and one that can be enjoyed by enthusiastic beginners and more advanced model builders alike.
