Scale: 1 / 35
This is one of Takom's first three 1/35 Tiger kits, which were released together and shared most of their parts. This one builds a "Mid" Tiger from the end of the "Mid" period (i.e. after October 1943). The other two kits are a Tiger I late production and a Tiger I mid Otto Carius. All of these subjects have been covered by other model companies in the past.
This kit includes Zimmerit, a metal gun barrel, transparencies for the periscopes, 3-piece individual link tracks with an assembly jig, metal tow cables and P.E. mesh screens for the rear deck. It is the first Tiger kit to provide the umbrella for the cupola. Optional canvas covers are given for the MG and muzzle brake. There are also a number of diorama accessories including a ladder, rolled blanket, box of food, helmets, bucket, jerrycans etc.
My ongoing review and comments;
| Misplaced cupola | Cleats on tracks | Mantlet frame |
| Choice of tracks | Decal options | Shock absorbers |
| Umbrella | Gun sleeve | Cupola hatch |
| Types of jack | Holes for radiator |
