Tamiya 32591 - 1/48 Scale Sturmtiger Model Kit for Modellers  [32591]

Tamiya 1/48 German Sturmtiger - Detailed Scale Summary

This Tamiya 1/48 scale Sturmtiger model lets modellers recreate the unusual WWII assault mortar complete with its 38cm rocket launcher on the Tiger I chassis. The original vehicle combined heavy frontal armour of approximately 15cm with side armour near 8cm, intended for attacking fortified positions.

Production Figures and Service Record

The Sturmtiger was produced in very limited numbers, with just 18 units made from August to December 1944. These saw deployment in sectors including occupied Poland and later inside Germany during the final campaigns, giving the subject strong appeal to military modelling enthusiasts.

Model Build and Display Notes

Tamiya's kit presents crisp detail and a compact footprint that makes the Sturmtiger suitable for display cabinets and groupings with other WWII armour. The build rewards careful assembly and painting, and the finished model carries a strong visual presence despite its smaller 1/48 scale.
