Italeri 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.Vi Tiger I Ausf.E Mid Production - Scale Reproduction with Period Details

This Italeri 1/35 Tiger I Ausf.E mid-production kit recreates the look of late 1943 production Tigers, including the thicker turret protection and revised commander's cupola. The set is intended for modellers focused on historical fidelity and detailed assembly work.

Background and what the kit offers

Noted for heavy armour and the 88mm main gun, the Tiger I was a dominant heavy tank of its time. The mid-production examples often started life with rubber-rimmed road wheels before many were swapped for steel wheels around February 1944. The kit contains parts to depict two different versions, plus photo-etched components and link-by-link track sections for enhanced realism.

Construction notes and display tips

Items such as the Feifel filtration assembly, smoke grenade launchers and the representation of Zimmerit paste are included to support authentic finishing. Careful assembly, coupled with thoughtful painting and weathering, will yield a high-quality display model suitable for exhibitions or detail-focused collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic components
  • Includes photo-etched detailing
  • Link-by-link track system
  • Requires assembly, paint and finishing
The kit provides a solid baseline with photo-etch and detailed tracks; final competition quality will depend on the builder's finish, paintwork and additional detailing choices.
Light pre-weathering helps achieve a realistic look and can protect metal finishes. Many modellers apply rust and mud effects after initial assembly to ensure a natural finish.
Reference material is available in specialist books, historical photo archives and dedicated online forums. Use multiple sources to verify features like wheel type, Zimmerit patterns and field fittings.
