The Tiger I gained a reputation for its 88mm gun and heavy armour plating. Late production variants adopted larger steel road wheels fitted with rubber rings and a revised turret profile, changes that improved operational reliability in the field.
Tamiya reproduces that late production specification in their 1/48 Military Miniature series, delivering the hallmarks of the larger kit in a smaller, display-friendly form suited to collectors and hobbyists.
The kit is aimed at builders seeking accuracy and a rewarding modelling challenge. It includes a newly designed plastic chassis and link-type assembly tracks that replicate realistic construction. Weights are supplied to enhance the model's stance, track treads are modelled to reduce unrealistic shine, and a torso figure is included for display options.
