Historical Representation and Construction Details

The Tiger I tank (Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E, Sd.Kfz. 181) in its mid production version was manufactured in Germany between 1943 and 1944. This vehicle served on many World War II fronts, including during battles on the Eastern Front (such as Kursk), in northern France after the Allied landings, and in Italy. The Tiger I gained fame as a highly armored and heavily armed tank, commanding respect among both Allied and Soviet armored forces. The mid production variant was characterized by, among others, a new commander’s cupola, reinforced turret, and a modified exhaust layout, all faithfully reflected in the details of the Airfix 1359 model.
