Tamiya Models Tiger I Early Production Model Kit,Plastic, Multicolor

The media could not be loaded. Everything is perfect but I would only recommend this kit for people who are slightly experienced with model kits

was not expecting a metal hull

Die Verarbeitung der Modellteile ist gut. Anleitung ist auch verständlich, sowie die tarnung- und Beschriftungen sind geschichtlich korrekt und akzeptabel.

The media could not be loaded. This is the best model kit I ever built from Tamiya so far! The details are great and it's easy to build. When I normally build model tanks, it's usually a lengthy process where I assemble a lot of parts. The more parts there is to a model kit, the better the details and realsim. That was traditional thinking that model builders believed. Tamiya has tooken the old school ideas of a great kit and turned it upside down. Instead of making a complicated model, they decided to make a complicated looking model that has fewer parts to assemble but still looks very real! They first decided to use entire piece of metal as the main body of the tank. The metal body gives the model a good weight that makes you feel that the kit is substantial and worth your time to build. Second instead of using the traditional "rubber band" type tracks they decided to use make the tracks more realistic by using small pieces of plastic tracks where you glue them together. In order to aid your building of these tracks, they included a jig for you to properly shape the track realistically; that's very inovative for Tamiya. Lastly, many of the parts that would normally be assembled piece by piece in a 1/35 scale tank has been molded right on the hull of the tank instead. You might think this would make it unrealistic but because it's in a smaller scale in 1/48, it looks realistic.I had so much fun building this kit! It was so much fun because it was easy to build and it still looks very realistic in 1/48 scale. It looks as good as the 1/35 scale. I highly reccomend this kit with an average model building skills. I'm sure you will be as happy as I was when I first built this kit. Highly reccomended.

数十年ぶりのMM復活となり、1/35のTIGER1　初期を購入、練習用に1/48を購入したはずだったのですが・・・正直なめてました・・・キャタピラ組み立てが難関ですね。何度バラけたことか・・・細かい部分まで再現されており、まだ、サフェーサーのみの状態ですが素組みでも充分かっこいいです。同時進行中の極初期型と併せて、カラーリングをどうするか、専門誌海外サイトとにらめっこしながら思案中です。時間をかけてじっくり仕上げるつもりです。

it is very good toy. it was very good to make this toy it was joyfull,and who like history about WWII must buy this toy
