Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this kit, while older and lacking some of the intricate details of newer models, offers excellent fit and ease of assembly, characteristic of Tamiya engineering. Many appreciate its simplicity, making it ideal for beginners or quick weekend builds, though some note the absence of certain details like photo-etch screens which can be added separately. Overall, it is praised for being a solid representation of the subject, particularly for dioramas or specific historical versions, with clear instructions and minimal need for sanding or flashing.

A bit dated but still a good kit

By: Tarasdad (Lancaster)

This kit dates from 1989 and it shows in the lack of extra details compared to newer kits of the same subject. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as it offers a great no frills Tiger I as used by the Afrika Korps. Fit and finish of the parts is excellent, the instructions are superb, and the decals well made. This would make an excellent kit for the beginning armor builder, as well as a good starting point for the super-detailer.

Basic, solid, easy to build Tiger I

By: saerdo

Tamiya engineering is second to none for fit and easy of assembly. With that however, you sacrifice detail. Fair warning, if you're looking to build Tiger 131, this isn't the kit, you need the early model for that. This kit went together without any issues, it just about falls into place. My only issue with Tamiya Tigers is that they don't come with the photo etch screens for the back deck. You have to order those separately. I recommend that because they do add detail the the kit and stand out. Great kit for a a weekend build. Highly recommend.

Great Tank

By: Rehder88

It was a great build. Extremely easy to assemble and in my opinion very detailed for an older kit. This was so far my favorite model and I am happy how it tuned out. I always try to have only Tamiya models for my tanks and so far I have not been disappointed.
