1/16 scale Tiger 1 early.

A very early Tiger from before they were fitted with the external air filters... Does this help?

It sure does. Thank you Saul

I hate to bust the bubble, but there are big differences between an initial tiger and an early tiger. The kit would require serious work to back date. It would be much easier to convert an African Tiger to a Leningrad tiger than converting this kit.

If you want a fun easier conversion, may I suggest Das Reich’s SO2 at Kursk. Lots of photos of this tank from different angles. The only scratch building would be the rear mud flaps as SO2’s were unique.

Hi Tim, John is correct that this will be a lot of work, however this is most of the info needed if you wish to go down the Tiger 'rabbit hole'.

Ahhh. @Brokeneagle, taking advantage that I am too busy at work to challenge me for the title of TMI (Too Much Information)? Awesome!


Let's not forget this worthwhile site run by someone who actually measured and drew plans of the Tiger: Tiger 1 Info

Well...nuts.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm not attached to it, just thought the overpainted tactical numbers was interesting, as well as the 502's mammoth insignia. Moving on.

That's where I'm looking. He compares this kit's details with the decal numbers offered of that real real tank.
