Academy 13422 - 1/72 German Tiger I Ver. Early: Small-scale historical reproduction

The Academy 13422 - 1/72 German Tiger I Ver. Early kit recreates the early Tiger I profile with compact accuracy for model enthusiasts. It focuses on the key visual features so hobbyists can produce a credible wartime vehicle in limited space.

Why the early Tiger I matters on the bench

The early production Tiger I stood out for its heavy armour and 88mm main gun, traits that are represented in this small-scale model. The 1/72 size keeps display footprint low while retaining recognisable hull and turret shapes for collectors who track production variants.

Building notes and display tips

Expect a hands-on build with small, well-defined parts that need precise assembly. Once finished, the model suits shelf displays and compact dioramas where period accuracy and a neat finish are priorities.
