Tamiya 35146 - 1/35 German Tiger I Late Version Heavy Tank Kit for Collectors  [35146]

Tamiya 35146 - 1/35 scale Tiger I Late Version overview

Introduced in 1942, the German Tiger I remains one of World War II's most recognisable heavy tanks. The Tamiya 35146 kit recreates the late production Tiger I in 1/35 scale, giving hobbyists a faithful model that reflects the vehicle's battlefield presence and engineering detail.

Late production history and faithful detailing

The late version of the Tiger I, built from January 1944, included a number of field and factory updates. This kit reproduces the signature 88mm KwK36(L/56) main gun, the heavy armor sections reaching up to 100mm in places, and the distinctive steel-rimmed roadwheels, delivering a convincing representation of the period vehicle.

Model details such as the revised commander's cupola with seven vision slots, the anti-aircraft machine gun ring, and refined turret fittings are modelled to give builders an authentic late-war appearance.

Assembly notes and presentation tips

Builders will find the Tamiya 35146 rewards patient assembly and careful painting. Parts are detailed and require precise fitting and finishing to reveal the kit's full potential. Once completed, the model makes a strong display piece that highlights late-war Tiger I features for display cabinets and dioramas.
