Tamiya 32591 - 1/48 Scale German Sturmtiger Kit for Scale Modellers  [32591]

Tamiya 32591 1/48 German Sturmtiger - Scale Model Overview

This Tamiya 1/48 German Sturmtiger kit gives scale modellers the chance to build a faithful replica of one of World War II's most distinctive assault mortars. The model highlights the vehicle's 38cm rocket launcher and preserved silhouette, mounted on the Tiger I chassis. Key combat features included heavy armor protection, with roughly 15cm at the front and about 8cm on the flanks, reflecting its designed role against fortified positions.

Limited Production and Combat Service

Only 18 Sturmtiger vehicles were produced between August and December 1944, making this subject rare among military vehicle kits. Those units saw service in operations across occupied Poland and on German soil during the conflict's closing months, which adds historical interest for collectors and diorama builders.

Why Builders Value This Kit

The Tamiya 1/48 scale kit reproduces the Sturmtiger's distinctive lines with fine moulding and parts that reward careful assembly. It is suited to model makers who enjoy a detailed build for display, whether finished in battle weathering or a clean museum-style finish. The compact 1/48 scale makes it easy to include alongside other WWII armour in a shelf display.
