Academy 13509 - 1/35 Tiger-I Early Version 'Operation Citadel' Plastic Model  [AC-13509]

Academy 13509 - 1/35 Tiger-I Early Version Representative of Operation Citadel

The Tiger-I is widely recognised for its heavy armour and the powerful 88mm gun it carried during World War II, notably in the Operation Citadel confrontations. This Academy 13509 - 1/35 model reproduces the early Tiger-I in plastic with attention to period detail.

Historic Role and Model Detail

During the 1943 offensive, the Tiger-I's protection and armament defined its battlefield role. The kit reflects these defining characteristics so modellers can replicate an early-war Tiger-I accurately in 1/35 scale.

Construction and Finish

The Academy 13509 - 1/35 is best suited to modellers comfortable with precise assembly and painting. Finely moulded parts reward patient preparation, and careful painting brings out rivets, hatches and other surface detail.

Collection Use and Display Advice

Finished examples look strong on display plinths or within dioramas. Pair the model with other 1/35 era vehicles and figures to present a believable Operation Citadel vignette.
