The Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I is a German heavy tank from World War II, known for its powerful 88 mm gun, solid armor and striking appearance. It first appeared on the front in 1942 and immediately struck fear into the ranks of the Allies. PANZER VI TIGER I No. 131 is the only working example of the German Tiger I tank in the world. It is located in the Tank Museum in Bovington, where it attracts thousands of military history enthusiasts every year.

Another old model from the closet...I almost finished the model 35-40 years ago...now I will finally finish it...The complexity is probably at the level of old ABC magazine models, these models (from Propagteam) also came with water stickers as standard. (like plastic models). I tried to use them, but they fell apart, so I will solve it differently (fortunately I scanned the stickers). It's a simple model, difficult to compare with, for example, Polish models, so it should be taken that way...The model is currently in this condition:

Some track work and a bit of greebling, and you will have an awesome armored division. ;)
 
Is this the finished model? It looks great. A bit at a loss here as to it's status,(my old age). :)
 
TO: zathros
thank you, the model is not finished...I've had it unfinished in this state for the last 35-40 years...;)

I've made some progress...I added the hatch to the turret, and this thing at the back of the turret...I added tow ropes...the stickers couldn't be used, so I printed them out on thin paper, cut them out and gradually glued them to the tank. I'll add a few more details and I've got the base for the base done, I'll probably add something there too and then I'll add a little more patina...;)
