Italeri 1/35 Tiger I Ausf. E/H1 - authentic heavy tank in scale

The Italeri 1/35 Tiger I Ausf. E/H1 kit reproduces the heavy tank famed for its offensive capability and thick armour. Active on key fronts from 1943 to 1944, the Tiger I combined battlefield presence with demanding upkeep, traits that this scale model reflects.

Modeller guidance and historical context

Building this Tiger I helps modellers appreciate the engineering behind the original vehicle. Crews often faced harsh maintenance routines in deserts and plains alike, and recreating the machine's fine details in plastic requires methodical assembly and careful finishing.

Collectible appeal and presentation tips

Detailed parts and accurate proportions make the Italeri Tiger I a worthwhile addition to any WWII armour display. It suits stand-alone presentation or integration into a painted diorama representing authentic operational conditions.

Intermediate modelling skills are ideal. Familiarity with small part handling, seam cleaning and painting will improve the end result.
The kit contains a decal sheet for period markings so you can replicate authentic unit insignia after painting.
Prime parts first, apply base coats in thin layers, then use washes and dry brushing for depth. Finish with a matt or satin varnish to protect the paintwork.
