Academy 13264 - 1/35 TIGER-I Early Exterior Model Kit Summary

The Academy 13264 1/35 TIGER-I Early Exterior model kit presents the outer form of a historically significant WWII heavy tank. The Tiger I stood out for its heavy armour and long range 88mm gun, traits that made it a defining armoured vehicle of the period. This kit concentrates on exterior authenticity so modellers can recreate the tank's iconic appearance.

Recreating a Period Armoured Vehicle

The Tiger I was built with thick protective plating and a powerful main armament that shaped many wartime engagements. Its silhouette and defensive design made it a notable force on the front. Academy's 13264 mirrors the early production exterior features so collectors can display a convincing representation of the vehicle.

Craftsmanship and Detail

The moulding quality supports accurate external representation. In 1/35 scale, the parts show surface detail, turret outlines and hull fittings suited to careful assembly and paintwork. Modelmakers will find the kit useful for both display builds and diorama projects.

Display and Collecting Value

A finished TIGER-I exterior model adds weight to a military collection and works well next to other WWII armour. Its faithful external components and period look make it appropriate for themed displays and historical model groupings.
