Distinct for its 88mm gun, 100mm thick armor, and a host of other features including its air cleaner at the rear of the hull, the cylindrical commander's cupola, smoker dischargers, and turret pistol port, it was built to tackle almost anything you could throw at it. However, the tanks suffered under their own weight, and transmission issues required drivers to avoid overtaxing the engine. Most famously, a captured Tiger was acquired by the Soviets after it was abandoned in a swamp where it was stuck. The Soviets were able to develop countermeasures based on this salvaged vehicle. This kit with over 180 plastic parts faithfully recreates the German Tiger-I Ver. Early \"Operation Citadel\", with three finishing options in 1\/35 scale. The fully assembled model is 23.6cm long and 8.2cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic parts for assembling the Tiger-I Ver.
