Tiger I heavy tank


Arguably the most fearsome tank in Company of Heroes, the mighty Tiger can devastate enemy infantry and armor while absorbing tremendous punishment. This 1:72 scale model is made from sturdy die-cast metal and painted with the drab green-and-brown camouflage scheme used by the Wehrmacht in Normandy following D-Day. It's approximately 3.5 inches long, with a 2-inch barrel that mimicks the real-life 88mm gun responsible for countless burned-out Shermans. German steel indeed! To have any doubts about the coolness of this model resolved, click here to read my review on Rifles Ready!

  • Turrent rotates
  • Cannon elevates
  • Moving vinyl treads with realistic texture
  • Includes 5 German soldiers and 3 U.S. soldiers
  • Includes sandbags, tank traps and other terrain elements for use in dioramas

Price: $25 (includes free shipping within U.S.)


ADDITIONAL DETAILS: You can click this image to greatly enlarge it. The commander figure is not removable; however there are other FoV Tigers without the figure that we will hopefully be able to offer at a later date. The detail on this Tiger is not as fine as the Sherman, in my opinion. However the dimensions and shape are dead-on. Really it's the paint job and weathering that's lacking here. Still, it's a TIGER! Achtung Panzer!!!
