Close Inspection of the Tamiya 1/35 German Jagdtiger Model

The Tamiya 1/35 German Jagdtiger captures the presence of one of WWII's heaviest tank destroyers, known for its thick armour and the 128mm main gun. This kit gives hobbyists a chance to assemble a faithful representation, and the inclusion of ABER photo-etched parts brings fine-scale elements to the build.

Fine Scale Additions from ABER

The release includes brass photo-etched components from ABER, a respected Polish maker of aftermarket parts. These pieces let modellers replicate delicate features like engine grilles and small fittings, improving realism without heavy modification.

Building Appeal and Display Presence

Beyond assembly, the Jagdtiger model offers rewarding detailing opportunities such as adding metal fittings and realistic stowage. Finished builds make strong display pieces alongside other WWII armour and demonstrate careful modelling technique.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic with metal and brass photo-etched additions
  • Assembly Type: Glue required
  • Photo-Etched Parts: Supplied
The kit has fine parts and photo-etched pieces that add complexity, so beginners should expect a patient build and consider starting with simpler kits first.
Small flat tweezers, a sharp hobby knife, cyanoacrylate glue for brass, and a bending tool for PE parts will speed fitting and improve alignment.
Period-accurate schemes typically use dark yellow bases with green or brown camouflage. Use acrylic or enamel model paints and thin washes to bring out panel lines and weathering.
