Italeri 6557 1/35 Tiger I early production scale assembly kit

The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E, widely known as the Tiger I, became a benchmark for heavy armour during World War II. Renowned for its robust construction and the KwK 36 L/56 88 mm main gun, the Tiger I delivered long range firepower and formidable frontal protection that shaped many frontline engagements.

Introduced into service in September 1942 near Leningrad, Tiger I units soon saw action across multiple fronts, from the Eastern Front to the Tunisia campaign in North Africa. This Italeri 1/35 kit recreates the early production Tiger I variant, giving modellers an accurate platform to explore its engineering and battlefield role.

How accurate is the kit to early production Tiger I details?

The kit focuses on early production features, reflecting period hull fittings and turret details. It is suitable for modellers aiming for a faithful static display of the Tiger I early variant.

What does assembly involve and are the tracks realistic?

Assembly requires standard modelling glue and basic tools. The kit includes glueable rubber tracks that give a more authentic look than single-piece mouldings, but they still need careful fitting and trimming.

Which paints and finishes work best for this 1/35 Tiger I?

For an authentic finish use enamel or acrylic military colours meant for 1/35 armour. Start with a primer, apply base camouflage tones, then add washes and dry brushing to highlight panel lines and weathering.
