- The Sd.Kfz.181 PzKpfw VI Tiger Ausf. E was a heavy tank used by Germany during World War II. The initial production model was deployed to the Eastern Front in February 1943 by the Schwere Panzerabteilung 502, specifically No.100. The Tiger was feared by Allied tank crews for its thick armor and powerful 88mm gun, which made it a formidable opponent on the battlefield. The tank saw action in several major battles on the Eastern Front, including the Battle of Kursk, and was also deployed in smaller numbers in Italy and France. Despite its successes, the Tiger suffered from reliability issues and production difficulties.
- This 1/32 scale model accurately represents the initial production model of the Tiger, complete with intricate details and markings specific to the Schwere Panzerabteilung 502. Display it as a reminder of the German tank forces' impact during WWII, and the fierce battles they fought on the Eastern Front. This model is perfect for collectors and history enthusiasts alike who want to bring a piece of WWII history to their collection.
