Tamiya 26501 Finished 1/48 Early Tiger I Display Model

This finished 1/48 representation of an early production Tiger I is supplied fully assembled and professionally painted, intended as a display piece within Tamiya's 1/48 military range.

The Tiger I was a German heavy tank introduced in 1942, designed to deliver superior firepower and protection on the battlefield. Fitted with the 88 mm KwK 36 gun and heavy frontal armor, it served on the Eastern, Western, Italian and North African fronts. Early production examples, made from late 1942 to mid 1943, show features such as the tall cylindrical commander's cupola and turret pistol ports.

The model is supplied fully assembled and professionally painted with pre-applied markings reproducing tank No.213 of sPzAbt 502 (Russia, Summer 1944). Distinctive early production details are captured, and the lower hull is die-cast metal to increase weight and improve stance. The finished length is stated as 175mm and the set includes a display base with a name plate.

A ready-to-display interpretation of an early production Tiger I, supplied complete and focused on authentic external detailing for collectors and shelf presentation.
