WW2 Panzer VI Tiger I Tank Model

Step into history with the WW2 Panzer VI Tiger I Tank Model, a meticulously detailed replica built from 445 bricks at a 1:48 scale. Designed with precision, its bodywork features authentic pad printing and is accompanied by an easy-to-follow instruction manual, ensuring a rewarding building experience. Compatible with leading brands of construction blocks, this model offers versatility and convenience for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This build model pays tribute to the legendary Tiger I tank, a formidable symbol of German engineering from World War II. Introduced in 1942, the Tiger I was famed for its powerful 88mm KwK 36 gun and robust armour, which made it a force to be reckoned with in frontal engagements. However, its weight and complex design also led to notable mechanical challenges and limited manoeuvrability. The Tiger I 131 is especially significant as it represents the sole operational Tiger I preserved today, housed at the Tank Museum in Bovington, England.

Captured in Tunisia in 1943 by British forces, Tiger 131 was meticulously repaired and extensively studied by the Allies, providing invaluable insights into German tank technology. Restored to working order, this model is not only a fantastic building challenge but also a historical artefact, encapsulating a pivotal moment in tank warfare and engineering ingenuity. Whether you’re a history buff or a dedicated model enthusiast, this replica promises to be a standout addition to any collection.
