Academy 13314 1/35 Tiger-1 Late Version - Detailed Scale Replica

The Academy 13314 1/35 Tiger-1 Late Version kit recreates external fittings and contours for modellers seeking authentic late-war looks. It suits builders who take time with painting and ageing to produce a museum-style miniature.

Provenance and Collector Appeal

The Tiger-1 was noted for its heavy protection and the 88mm gun mounting that defined its service role. This kit renders those visible features faithfully, making it a solid choice for historical collections.

Tips for a Successful Build

Careful test-fitting and cleanup of parts will improve final appearance. The kit's precise mouldings reward patient assembly, and good surface preparation helps paint and weathering show detail clearly.

Does this kit show late production details?

Yes, the Academy 13314 is modelled to reflect late production external features rather than earlier variants or interiors.

Are upgrade parts available to enhance realism?

There are third-party upgrades such as metal barrels and photoetched details that many modellers use to add finesse, though these are not included with the kit.

What finish techniques work well on this subject?

Layered base coats, subtle washes and dry brushing help bring out panel lines and surface texture. Sealing with a matt or satin varnish preserves the weathered look.

Is this kit suitable for contest entries?

With careful build and finishing, the finished model can meet competition standards in display categories focused on historical accuracy and finish quality.
