Panzer Art FI35-259 DAK “Tiger” Turret Set 1/35

Panzer Art FI35-259 DAK "Tiger" Turret Set 1/35 is a specialist resin turret set designed for demanding modelers seeking to create an authentic replica of the German heavy tank Tiger I as used by the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) in the North African campaign. The model is designed for 1/35 scale, one of the most popular in military modeling, ensuring broad compatibility with Tiger I kits from renowned model manufacturers.

The turret has been precisely reproduced using resin technology, allowing for high-quality details – from armor plates, through DAK-specific tropical equipment and external storage boxes, to accurately rendered visor guards and antenna mounts. The set perfectly reflects the specific modifications applied by German tank crews in desert conditions, such as adapted cooling and field accessories.

Tiger I tanks appeared in the African theater at the end of 1942, supporting DAK units in Tunisia. During World War II (1942–1943), these units became a symbol of the German armored might on the southern front. The high fidelity of detail in this set allows modelers to faithfully recreate the appearance of DAK Tigers from historical photos of the Tunisian campaign.
