Italeri 6557 1/35 Pz. Kpfw. VI Tiger Ausf. E early production kit for display

The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E, or Tiger I, stands out in WWII armour history for its combination of armour and the powerful KwK 36 L/56 88 mm gun. Its design prioritized protection and firepower, making it a dominant influence on mid war tank engagements.

First fielded in September 1942 near Leningrad, the Tiger I was later deployed on several fronts, including the Don region and the Tunisia operations in North Africa. This Italeri 1/35 model reproduces the early production layout, offering a solid base for a detailed scale build.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic with glueable rubber tracks
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Includes: Color instruction sheet

Does this kit reflect correct early production fittings?

Yes, the parts and detailing emphasise early production characteristics such as hull fixtures and turret features, which help recreate the authentic early Tiger I appearance.

Are any special tools required to fit the rubber tracks?

No specialised equipment is required, but fine cutters, sanding sticks and precise glue application will ensure neat joins. Rubber tracks may need trimming and gentle shaping during assembly.

Can this kit be seasoned with weathering for a more lived-in look?

Absolutely. Use filters, washes and pigment powders to simulate mud, dust and paint wear. Layering weathering makes a static 1/35 display more convincing.
