Tamiya 35146 - 1/35 German Heavy Tiger I Late Version summary

The Tiger I has a prominent place in World War II armoured history. The Tamiya 35146 presents a 1/35 scale representation of the late Tiger I, crafted to highlight the tank's imposing silhouette and period upgrades.

Historical notes and model accuracy

The late wartime Tiger I, from January 1944, included specific updates that this kit mirrors. Key features modelled include the 88mm KwK36(L/56) main gun, substantial armour areas up to around 100mm, and the characteristic steel-rimmed roadwheels.

Model-specific details reproduce the redesigned commander's cupola with seven vision ports, the anti-aircraft machine gun ring, and revised turret fittings for an authentic late-war look.

Modelling guidance and presentation

Complete the Tamiya 35146 with careful assembly practices and layered finishing. Attention to seam sanding, accurate painting, and restrained weathering will produce a display-worthy Tiger I that reflects the late production changes faithfully.
