Vehicle History

The PzKpfw VI Tiger I, known as the Tiger-1, is one of the most iconic German heavy tanks of World War II. The "Early" version entered service in 1942. The presented model replicates a vehicle used during Operation Citadel—the largest tank battle in history, which took place in the summer of 1943 near Kursk on the Eastern Front. The Tiger-1 had a significant impact on the course of battles thanks to its powerful 88-mm KwK 36 cannon and solid armor, making it a formidable adversary for Soviet machinery.
