1/72 Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.E Tiger I Late Production w/Zimmerit + Tiger Aces Figure Set

DRA7440
Dragon’s 1/72 scale armored fighting vehicle (AFV) collection is set to roll out some simply stunning new items. Among the vanguard is a Late-Production Tiger I and an accompanying set of crewmen. The German Tiger I is one of the most recognizable tanks of WWII. With its thick armor and potent 8.8cm gun, it terrorized enemy soldiers and tankers. Dragon has produced a 1/72 scale Late-Production variant of this formidable AFV, and what’s special about the plastic model is the finely textured Zimmerit coating. The pre-molded Zimmerit is produced to an astounding level of craftsmanship, and it fortunately saves modelers the burden of having to apply the coating themselves. The Tiger I includes sharply detailed components, and it will be warmly welcomed as it sets a new benchmark for quality in this scale.

As a special bonus, the kit includes a set of ‘tank ace’ figures. These figures have been downsized from a well-known 1/35 scale figure set, but they’re still remarkably detailed. The five figures are brand new toolings, and the crewmen can be adapted to many different dioramas, theaters or time periods, as selected by modelers. The figures may be grouped together on a Tiger as indicated in the box-top art, or they can be mix and matched with any other German tank type. The fact that the Tiger I is accompanied by such an impressive crew puts this set in a class of its own, for no other manufacturer offers such an ideal combination!
