The Tiger I (Sd.Kfz. 181) mid-production variant bridges the gap between the original 1942 design and the definitive late-war tank, incorporating running changes such as a relocated turret pistol port, a redesigned loader's hatch and, from September 1943, a full coat of zimmerit anti-magnetic paste on every hull and turret face.
Dragon's 1/72 rendition moulds that zimmerit coating directly into the plastic, capturing the coarse ridged texture without any extra scribing work, while slide-moulded parts render the mid-production cupola, stowage and running gear with fine, crisp detail for the scale.
A decal sheet is included, offering authentic marking options for Wehrmacht heavy tank battalions of the mid-war period.
Ideal for modellers building a chronological Tiger I collection alongside Dragon's early and late production releases.
