Overview of the Tamiya 35227 1/35 Tiger I initial production kit

The Tiger I made its mark with the 88mm main gun and imposing silhouette. This Tamiya 1/35 kit focuses on those first production traits, recreating the look of early wartime Tigers used in desert operations.

Period correct details and realistic tooling

Detailed moulding captures the initial production elements including side pistol ports, the turret-mounted tool locker and the unique front fender angle. The exhaust cover with radiator slits, typical of North African machines, is modelled for authenticity.

Assembly experience and display scale

Finished length is 240mm, offering a satisfying assembly that displays well on a shelf. Builders get four 501st Heavy Tank Battalion marking schemes and a figure to enhance display realism and painting options.

Tamiya reproduces the initial production characteristics faithfully, including pistol ports, the turret toolbox and the North African-style exhaust cover, based on historical references.
A single crewman figure is supplied to help with display options and to give context when creating a vignette or small diorama.
Standard plastic model cement and hobby paints for German wartime camouflage are recommended. Use fine brushes or an airbrush for best results on the 1/35 scale details.
