Italeri 6557 1/35 Tiger I Ausf. E early production modelling kit

The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E, or Tiger I, became synonymous with heavy German armour in World War 2. Its 88 mm KwK 36 L/56 gun and substantial frontal armour gave it a reputation for long range lethality and crew protection that influenced combat matches across several campaigns.

Deployed from September 1942 near Leningrad, Tiger I units saw action on the Don Front and later in North Africa during the Tunisia campaign. This Italeri 1/35 kit recreates the early production variant, making it a solid choice for historically minded modellers.

How faithful are the kit's details to period photos?

The kit follows known early production details visible in period photographs, including turret and hull fittings. It provides a reliable base for authentic painting and marking schemes.

Does the kit include movable parts or is it static?

This is a static display kit. Tracks are supplied as glueable rubber items for a convincing look, but the model is not designed for radio control or moving suspension.

What finishing tips improve realism on a 1/35 Tiger I?

Use subtle chipping, panel line washes and pigment dusting to emulate wear. Focus on lug nuts, track links and exhaust stains for added authenticity on a static model.
