Academy 13422 - 1/72 German Tiger I Ver. Early: A vignette-ready early Tiger I

The Academy 13422 - 1/72 German Tiger I Ver. Early kit offers a faithful miniature of the early Tiger I layout, aimed at modellers seeking authentic silhouette and surface detail in a small format. It balances accuracy with a compact display footprint.

Period context and model fidelity

The Tiger I became notable for its armour and the 88mm main gun, and this 1/72 reproduction keeps those key visual elements. The kit is useful for historians and hobbyists who wish to represent early production variants alongside other WWII pieces.

Tips for assembly and final presentation

Assembly involves small-scale parts that benefit from fine tools and careful gluing. After painting and finishing, the model makes a tidy addition to shelves or dioramas where space is limited but detail matters.

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required

Is this a good starter kit for someone new to armour models?

While manageable, the small parts and precise fits are better suited to builders with some basic modelling experience rather than absolute beginners.

What scale accessories match this kit?

Use 1/72 figures, vehicles and scatter materials to create consistent scenes; these scales are widely available from multiple manufacturers.

Any special care during painting?

Prime small parts first and use fine brushes or an airbrush for even, scale-appropriate coats to preserve engraved and raised detail.
