The Tiger I is famous for its powerful 88mm armament and heavy armor protection. The late production machines adopted larger steel road wheels with rubber rings and a revised turret shape, refinements that changed handling and field serviceability.
Tamiya brings that late variant into the smaller 1/48 Military Miniature range. The scale keeps the essential textures and fittings of larger kits while saving shelf space, making it a practical choice for hobbyists with limited room.
This kit offers a satisfying assembly process with realistic components. It includes a redesigned plastic chassis and link-type assembly tracks to reproduce authentic construction methods. Weights are provided for better stance, track treads are modelled to avoid unrealistic shine, and a single torso figure is supplied to boost display realism.
