This plastic kit allows you to create faithful replicas of two Panzerwaffe legends, known as the Wehrmacht's "steel cats," used on all European fronts from 1942 until the end of the conflict in 1945.

Historical Overview

The Tiger I, representing the peak of German engineering, was one of the most recognizable and feared tanks of World War II. Its debut on the Eastern Front at the Battle of Leningrad stunned opponents with its phenomenal firepower and armor. The Panther, in turn, was designed in response to the Soviet T-34—characterized by an excellent balance between armor, mobility, and firepower, it fought intensively in battles such as the Kursk Salient and during the offensives in Normandy.
