Tamiya 26501 Early Production Tiger I Finished Model 1/48  [26501]

Finished 1/48 Early Production Tiger I - Tamiya 26501

This is a finished 1/48 scale representation of an early production Tiger I, supplied fully assembled and professionally finished for display collectors in Tamiya's 1/48 lineup.

The Tiger I was introduced in 1942 as a heavy German tank intended to deliver superior protection and firepower. Equipped with the 88 mm KwK 36 gun and strong frontal armor, it saw action across the Eastern, Western, Italian and North African theatres. Early production tanks built from late 1942 to mid 1943 can be identified by details such as the tall cylindrical commander's cupola and turret pistol ports.

The model comes ready assembled and pre-painted with pre-applied markings reproducing tank No.213 of sPzAbt 502 (Russia, Summer 1944). Early production characteristics are faithfully modelled, and the lower hull is die-cast metal to add weight and enhance the stance. The finished length is given as 175mm and a display base with name plate is supplied.

A display-ready, detail-focused rendition of an early production Tiger I, supplied complete to highlight external accuracy and presentation.
