Academy 13299 1/35 Tiger-I 'Gruppe Fehrmann, Essel 1945' Overview

The Academy 13299 kit gives a finely modelled 1/35 scale representation of the Tiger-I used by Gruppe Fehrmann in Essel during 1945. The plastic parts capture the vehicle's distinctive silhouettes and surface detail, allowing scale modellers to build a convincing wartime subject.

Combat Role and Legacy

The Tiger-I earned a reputation for thick armour and an 88mm gun that dominated many engagements. Gruppe Fehrmann deployed these tanks late in the conflict, and this kit reflects that historical context for those interested in battlefield equipment and unit history.

Build Complexity and Detail

Designed for intermediate to advanced builders, this Academy kit includes multi part assemblies, detailed tracks and a realistic turret layout. Careful trimming and attentive assembly will reward builders with authentic proportions and fine surface features.

Shelf Presence and Collection Fit

Once completed, the Tiger-I model makes a robust centrepiece for any WWII collection. Its scale accuracy and textured parts work well with diorama bases or standalone display racks, highlighting both modelling skill and historical interest.

This kit is best for modellers with some experience. The assembly involves delicate parts and careful alignment, so it is not recommended for complete beginners.
Use standard polystyrene cement for main joints and thin CA glue for small details. Acrylic or enamel paints are suitable; prime parts first for best paint adhesion.
The kit includes plastic track components that are assembled and glued. Some modellers choose to pose the tracks on a base before fixing them to achieve the desired sag and realism.
