Italeri 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.Vi Tiger I Ausf.E Mid Production - A Compact History in Scale

The Italeri 1/35 Tiger I Ausf.E mid-production kit brings the iconic German heavy tank to the modelling bench. Representing the mid-1943 production pattern, the kit highlights updates such as improved turret armour and a revised commander's cupola. It provides a faithful platform for modellers investigating wartime engineering changes.

Historical notes and modelling interest

Renowned for heavy protection and its 88mm main gun, the Tiger I dominated many battle accounts. The mid-production examples originally used rubber-rimmed road wheels, with steel wheels being introduced from early 1944. This kit includes alternate parts for two configurations, photo-etched fittings and individual track links to enhance authenticity.

Construction tips and presentation

Modellers will appreciate authentic touches like the Feifel filtration unit, smoke grenade launchers and optional Zimmerit surface texture. With careful assembly the finished model is well suited to display in a diorama or as part of a historical collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Injection plastic
  • Photo-etched components included
  • Individual link tracks
  • Requires assembly and painting
Basic modelling tools cover most steps, but small files, sprue cutters and a good brush set will make photo-etch and track work much easier.
Yes, the kit provides parts to portray two sub-variants and allows for different external fittings such as the Feifel unit or smoke launchers so you can match photos or references.
This kit is best for modellers with some experience due to link-by-link tracks and photo-etched parts. Newcomers can still build it but should expect a steeper learning curve.
The kit includes moulded options and representations that allow you to depict Zimmerit coating; final realism depends on careful painting and weathering techniques.
