Academy 13264 - 1/35 TIGER-I Early Exterior Model Kit Overview

The Academy 13264 1/35 TIGER-I Early Exterior model kit gives scale modellers a close look at one of World War II's most recognisable heavy tanks. Praised for its imposing silhouette on the battlefield, the Tiger I reflects German wartime engineering and tactical design. This exterior-focused kit captures the surface features of the original vehicle so hobbyists can build an accurate miniature representation.

Scale Accuracy of a Notable Armoured Vehicle

The Tiger I was notable for its thick armour and the powerful 88mm main gun that defined its battlefield role. Its form and fighting capabilities made it a feared opponent in its day. The Academy 13264 kit mirrors these external traits of the early production variant with careful moulding and part detail.

Craftsmanship and Detail

Academy's focus on exterior fidelity shows through in the kit. At 1/35 scale, surface textures, turret contours and hull fittings are modelled to provide realistic assembly and finishing options. Builders who enjoy fine detail work will find the parts rewarding during construction.

Display and Collecting Value

When finished, the TIGER-I exterior model makes a strong display item for military collections and dioramas. Its period-correct appearance pairs well with other WWII armour and helps convey the scale and presence of mid-20th-century tanks. The completed kit is suited to display cases or shelf exhibits.
