Historical Context:
The Tiger I's immense weight and wide combat tracks made rail transport essential for strategic movements. Before loading onto railway flatcars, crews removed the outer road wheels and wide combat tracks, replacing them with narrower transport tracks to fit within railway loading gauge limits. This configuration was commonly seen as Tiger units moved between fronts, making it a fascinating subject for modelers interested in logistics and transport operations.
Perfect For:
This kit is ideal for intermediate to advanced modelers interested in German heavy tanks, railway transport operations, or creating unique dioramas depicting Tiger I units in transit. The transport configuration offers a distinctive alternative to standard combat poses.
