Introduction to the Trumpeter 07274 Sturmtiger Model

The Trumpeter 07274 Sturmtiger recreates a rare WWII assault mortar on the Tiger I chassis, fitted with a 38cm Raketenwerfer 61 L/5.4 launcher. Only a handful were produced during the war, making the subject appealing to military model fans who enjoy niche vehicles.

Context and Collector Interest

Deployed by specialised mortar companies on the Western Front, the Sturmtiger is notable for its purpose-built short-range bombardment role. For kit builders, this model presents an opportunity to assemble a vehicle with a distinctive profile and historical relevance.
