The Tiger was hurried into action on the Russian front as a response to the heavier Soviet tanks that had caught the Wehrmacht unawares. Its massive square body and rounded turret was an intimidating sight to enemy tankers. The armour was tremendously thick and made of quality steel, making it largely invulnerable, at least frontally, to anti-tank fire. Its hard hitting 88mm gun was a deadly weapon, effective against enemy tanks up to three kilometres away and also firing a lethal high explosive shell. The kit includes a plastic crewman model as well as decals to add authentic markings. Note: This product is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints not included.
