The
Dragon 1/35 Tiger I Late Production (3 in 1 set) is a
plastic model kit in the
Dragon WW2 Military Plastic Models range. At the time of its introduction in August 1942, the Tiger I was the most potent and heavily armoured tank in the world. Weighing 57 tonnes and armed with a mighty 8.8cm main gun, it was a dangerous predator on any battlefield. During the course of its life, various modifications and improvements were made to various components. The Tiger I Late Production version, for example, was characterized by having steel road wheels instead of rubber-rimmed wheels of earlier vehicles, which is reflected in this plastic model kit. The Dragon Tiger I Late Production plastic model kit is the perfect addition to any WWII collection.
