Introducing the Tamiya 35194 1/35 Tiger I Mid Production kit

The Tiger I heavy tank is a notable World War II design developed to tackle the Soviet T34. The mid-production variant, manufactured from July 1943 to January 1944, incorporated battlefield-driven updates such as a revised commander's cupola for improved vision and the application of Zimmerit paste to reduce magnetic mine risks.

Background and collector interest

The Tamiya 35194 accurately renders the mid-production Tiger I profile, including the suspension and hull detail. Some 470 examples of this variant were constructed and they were heavily involved on the Eastern Front. The kit appeals to modellers focused on historical fidelity and display work.

Assembly highlights and components

Contents include finely moulded plastic parts, separately moulded track links and a German soldier figure to enhance display scenes. Waterslide decals and clear pictorial instructions support an organised build, making the kit suitable for collectors and study models.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: German soldier figure, waterslide decals
  • Assembly: Glue required
A set of sharp cutters, files, plastic cement, brushes and hobby paints will cover the essentials. Tweezers and a pin vice are useful for small parts and track assembly.
While beginners can attempt it, the separate track links and finer details favour modellers with some experience. Start with patience and follow the pictorial guide to avoid common mistakes.
Tamiya's tooling delivers accurate external panels and suspension components that match the mid-production Tiger I. These details support realistic finishing and enhanced display authenticity.
