The Master GM-72-021 set is dedicated to modellers building German tanks from the Second World War in 1/72 scale. It offers high-quality details intended for the legendary PzKpfw VI Tiger I, especially models depicting the first production batches. This product includes MG-34 machine gun barrels and a precisely reproduced 88mm KwK36 L/56 gun barrel, equipped with an early version of the muzzle brake and a standard gun mantlet, as per the historical examples used by German forces in 1942-1944.

Historical background: The Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I was one of the most powerful field tanks of the Wehrmacht used during World War II, and its first units were fitted with a characteristic muzzle brake, an integral part of the shelling effectiveness of the 88mm gun. This tank participated in, among others, battles on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, from the Battle of Leningrad, through Kursk, to the Normandy campaign. The Tiger I has made its mark in history as a synonym for the might of German armoured weaponry, and its clean lines and distinctive details pose a challenge for any modeller wishing to faithfully recreate historical reality.

The Master GM-72-021 set is made from top-quality CNC-turned brass, ensuring above-average durability and exceptional detail. The metal components are a perfect replacement for original plastic parts in the model, enabling a significant improvement in realism, especially at such a small scale. Avoiding the simplified details of model manufacturers, this set allows for a presentation of the Tiger I tank fully in line with the original.
