Academy 13264 - 1/35 TIGER-I Early Exterior Scale Presentation

The Academy 13264 1/35 TIGER-I Early Exterior model offers hobbyists a faithful external reproduction of a key World War II heavy tank. Known for its heavy armour and distinctive profile, the Tiger I represented a leap in wartime armoured design. This kit concentrates on the tank's external components to let builders recreate its imposing look at scale.

Faithful External Representation

The Tiger I gained a reputation for its thick frontal armour and the long 88mm gun which dominated engagements. Its engineering translated into battlefield dominance in many encounters. Academy's 13264 mouldings capture the early production exterior details so modellers can present an accurate early Tiger I on the shelf.

Craftsmanship and Detail

Attention to surface detail is a highlight of the kit. The 1/35 scale provides room for realistic textures, accurate hull fittings and turret features. Those who enjoy careful assembly and painting will appreciate the parts' fit and finish.

Display and Collecting Value

A finished TIGER-I exterior model makes an effective showpiece in a themed collection or diorama. Its historical character and scaled realism make it a natural companion to other WWII models for illustrating period armoured formations.
