The Dragon 6820 Tiger I 131 s.Pz.Abt.504 Tunisia model is an extremely detailed plastic replica of the German Tiger I tank in the popular 1:35 scale. This is a faithful reproduction of the famous tank with tactical number 131, which was captured by Allied forces in Tunisia in 1943 during the Second World War. Tank 131 came from the 504th Heavy Panzer Battalion (s.Pz.Abt.504), a formation that played a significant role in military operations on the North African front.

The Dragon 6820 model, released by the renowned Dragon brand, impresses with its precision detailing and exceptionally high build quality. The Tiger I 131 tank stands out with a wealth of characteristic features, such as a realistically modeled turret, imitation weld seams, precisely recreated suspension, hull detailing, and segmental Magic Tracks, providing an authentic appearance once assembled.

Historically, the Tiger I 131 is one of the most recognizable armored tanks, not only due to its participation in combat in Tunisia but also because it has survived fully operational after the war and is displayed at The Tank Museum in Bovington (United Kingdom). The example captured by the British allowed the Allies to thoroughly analyze German armored technology of that era.

We recommend the Dragon 6820 model both to intermediate and experienced modellers interested in the World War II era and armored vehicles. Building this kit will not only enhance your historical knowledge but will also allow you to develop modelling skills thanks to the presence of detailed photo-etchings and segment tracks.

We rate the construction difficulty at 4/5 – the model offers a large number of small parts, which will be a challenge and a satisfying experience for enthusiasts of precise detail reproduction.
