Tamiya 32591 - Retro-Inspired 1/48 Sturmtiger Build Kit  [32591]

Overview of the Tamiya 1/48 Sturmtiger Model

The Tamiya 1/48 German Sturmtiger kit reproduces the wartime assault mortar with attention to its distinctive 38cm rocket launcher and the robust Tiger I chassis. The vehicle's protective layout included roughly 15cm frontal armour and around 8cm on the sides, reflecting its role in siege and urban operations.

Scarcity and Historical Notes

Only 18 Sturmtigers were completed between August and December 1944, a factor that adds interest for collectors. These vehicles were deployed in actions across occupied Poland and later in German theatres as the war drew to a close.

Why this Kit Appeals to Hobbyists

Tamiya's precise moulding and part fit make this 1/48 kit a satisfying project for modellers who enjoy authentic detailing. It works well as a centrepiece in a small collection or as part of a mixed-scale display where the unique design stands out.
