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.
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.
With 125 plastic parts across nine sprues, the 1:72 kit yields a finished model 87.1mm long, 51.2mm wide and 48mm high. The small scale rewards careful trimming, test fitting and delicate glue application to preserve fine detail.
