Academy 13431 1/72 German Tiger-I Late Version Model Kit - Compact Military Build  [AC-13431]

Academy 1/72 Tiger-I Late Version Scale Overview

This Academy 1/72 German Tiger-I Ver. Late model kit brings a small but accurate representation of one of World War II's most noted heavy tanks. It highlights the late production layout and provides an engaging assembly that appeals to modellers focused on historical detail and neat display results.

Scale Accuracy and Part Quality

The 1/72 scale parts are moulded to capture the Tiger-I's late-war shape, including the turret profile and hull lines. The kit supplies crisply detailed components for wheels, tracks and external fittings, along with textured surfaces that suggest the anti-magnetic coating used on many late examples. Builders will benefit from careful fitting and light putty work to achieve a clean finish.

Context and Collector Appeal

The Tiger-I had a significant effect on armored engagements after its introduction, pairing heavy protection with a high velocity 88mm gun. This model offers a hands-on way to study that period of development and produces a display piece suitable for dioramas or shelf presentation.
