This brand new 1/35 scale plastic model kit of the Tiger I "Mid Version" Tank by Airfix comes in the manufacturer’s original unopened box with vintage style packaging. The kit is officially licensed and contains over 200 detailed parts molded in light brown unless otherwise indicated. Paint and cement are required but not included, and the model does not include a display stand. Decals are provided to create two different schemes, and the assembled model measures approximately L-9.48, W-4.01 inches. The Tiger I Mid Production Version emerged in 1943 as a refined iteration of Germany’s heavy tank, addressing mechanical and operational shortcomings of earlier models. Key upgrades included steel road wheels, a redesigned commander’s cupola for improved visibility, and an enhanced turret traverse mechanism. These tanks were heavily engaged during the Battle of Kursk in July 1943, playing a central role in Operation Citadel and inflicting severe losses on Soviet armor despite the battle ending in Soviet victory. Tigers from units such as schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503 and 505 also saw action in Ukraine, Italy, and Normandy, often holding strategic points and delaying Allied advances. Throughout late 1943 and 1944, Mid Production Tigers were increasingly used in defensive roles, demonstrating formidable firepower despite being outnumbered, though their heavy weight, fuel consumption, and maintenance demands limited strategic mobility. This 1:35 scale model captures the tank’s powerful presence with authentic detail, including steel wheels, Zimmerit coating, and battlefield accessories, making it a fitting tribute to the engineering and battlefield legacy of one of WWII’s most iconic armored vehicles.
