* HISTORY ASPECTS:
* The German Sd.Kfz.181 PzKpfw VI Tiger Ausf. E heavy tank, known for its formidable armor and powerful gun, was a key component of the German Army during World War II. The initial production model of the tank, marked with the number 121, saw action on the North African Front in Tunisia as part of the Schwere Panzerabteilung 501 in 1943.
* The Tiger E's thick armor and potent 88mm gun made it a formidable opponent for Allied tanks and anti-tank guns. However, its weight and mechanical complexity made it prone to breakdowns and difficult to transport, limiting its effectiveness in the field. Despite these limitations, the Tiger E saw action in some of the most significant battles of the war, including the Battle of Kursk and the Normandy Campaign.
* This 1/32 scale model of the Tiger E is a highly detailed replica of the tank, including accurate markings and weathering. It is a must-have for any World War II history enthusiast or collector of military memorabilia. The model's high-quality construction and attention to detail make it a standout addition to any collection or display.
