Historical information

The German Tiger I tank, officially Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E, was a symbol of the Wehrmacht's armored strength during World War II. Versions adapted for desert conditions were used in the North African campaign, where their exceptional protective features and structural robustness were put to the test by the specific climate. Proper protection of the air intakes was crucial for safeguarding the powertrain against desert sand and dust. The FE48009 set allows for faithful recreation of these modifications, known from original vehicles used by the Afrikakorps.

• Easy integration – the set is specifically designed for the TAMIYA 32529 model

• Assembly difficulty level: 3/5 – basic skills in working with photo-etched parts and the use of cyanoacrylate adhesives are required for assembly

Voyager Model FE48009 is a recommended choice for modelers seeking to achieve the highest level of detail and historical accuracy in Tiger I tank models from the African theater of operations. Perfect for World War II dioramas and themed collections.
