Product Brief for Academy 1/72 Tiger-I Late Version

The Academy 1/72 German Tiger-I Ver. Late model kit recreates the late variant of the Tiger-I in a compact 1/72 scale. It is aimed at enthusiasts who want a precise little model that conveys the machine's silhouette and major external features.

Accuracy and Finish

Moulded parts represent the late production turret and hull layout, with separate elements for the running gear and external fixtures. The kit's textured panels suggest the anti-magnetic treatment applied on many vehicles, and careful preparation will reward modellers with a convincing final appearance.

Modelling and Historical Notes

The Tiger-I influenced armoured tactics after its debut, offering heavy protection and a powerful gun. Building this model gives hobbyists a practical way to examine that development and to create a neat display or diorama subject.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Yes, the 1/72 scale makes it ideal for compact displays or multi-model dioramas where space is limited but detail still matters.
Clean parts carefully, test fit before gluing, and use small amounts of cement. Sand seams lightly and use a filler sparingly to preserve panel detail.
Yes, but apply weathering with restraint: subtle washes, light pigment dusting and fine chipping will suit 1/72 better than heavy layers of grime.
