Kit Summary for Academy 1/72 Tiger-I Late Version

The Academy 1/72 German Tiger-I Ver. Late model kit reproduces the late production Tiger-I characteristics in neat 1/72 form. It is aimed at builders looking for a historically accurate miniature that still shows clear external detail when painted and finished.

Parts Quality and Assembly Notes

The model features well-defined moulded parts for the turret, hull and suspension, including realistic road wheels and track detail. The surface texture hints at the anti-magnetic coating seen on late tanks and will respond well to light sanding and panel line washes during finishing.

Historical Background for Modellers

The Tiger-I made a notable impact on armoured warfare with its heavy armour and long-barrelled 88mm gun. Constructing this kit gives modellers a tangible way to explore that history and create a compact exhibit piece for a shelf or diorama base.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Basic modelling tools are enough: cutters, files, tweezers, and plastic cement. A magnifier and fine brushes help with the small components and painting details.
This kit requires glue for secure assembly. Some parts may fit snugly but adhesive is recommended for strength and neat joins.
Use a primer, then base colours appropriate to late-war schemes. Apply thinned washes and careful drybrushing for depth, keeping weathering subtle to suit the 1/72 scale.
