Tamiya 35146 - 1/35 German Tiger I Late Version Scale Model Kit - Workshop Edition  [35146]

Tamiya 35146 - introduction to the 1/35 Tiger I Late Version

The Tiger I made a strong impression on World War II battlefields, and the Tamiya 35146 captures that presence in 1/35 scale. This late version model reflects wartime changes and gives modellers an accurate platform for a historically informed build.

Late-war upgrades reproduced on the model

From January 1944 the Tiger I adopted a range of updates. The model accurately presents the 88mm KwK36(L/56) main gun, the heavy armor layout with sections up to around 100mm, and the steel-rimmed roadwheels that defined its running gear.

Other reproduced items include the updated commander's cupola featuring seven vision ports, the anti-aircraft machine gun mount, and improved turret fittings for a close-to-original look.

Building process and display advice

Assembly of the Tamiya 35146 rewards careful preparation and tidy joins. The kit's parts offer good fit and detail, so patience during painting and weathering will reveal a convincing late-war Tiger I that suits shelves or diorama scenes.
