The German Tiger I first appeared on the front in 1942, becoming one of the most recognizable and formidable tanks of World War II. The "Late" variant presented by Tamiya was mainly used from 1944 onwards, including on the Eastern Front during the Battle of Kursk, in Normandy after the Allied landings, and during fighting in the Italian theater of operations. Tiger I crews were renowned for their effectiveness, with commanders such as Otto Carius and Michael Wittmann going down in history as ace tankers. The Tigers were used by the German army until the end of the war.
