Product Description

--Make a Tiger Ace car !!
-A plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the 1/35 scale German heavy tank, Tiger I type medium-term production type Otto Carius specification on 1/35 scale.

[About the actual vehicle]
――The German Tiger I tank showed the power to overwhelm the Allied and Soviet troops.
――Production began in 1942, and when assigned to the heavy tank battalion, it showed its power on the North African Campaign and the Eastern Front.
--The type produced between 1943 and 1944 is called the medium-term production type.
――In addition, from the middle of the mid-term model, Zimmerit coating equipment to prevent magnetically attracted land mines has become a standard specification.
-Among the tank crew who manipulated the Tiger, many tank soldiers called Ace appeared by defeating many enemy tanks.
――Otto Carius was known alongside Michael Wittmann.
――The number of defeats during the war was said to be more than 150, and the name was to be engraved in the history of the war.
――Among them, Otto Carius and his companion Albert Kerscher took the IS-2 and T-34 / 85 with only two Tiger Is in the battle with the Soviet army in the village of Marinerfa in Latvia on July 22, 1944. It is known as a battle that destroyed a total of 17 vehicles.
――It has been highly evaluated as a battle unique to Karius, who did not lack careful preliminary research and also closely cooperated with infantry.
――At this time, Tiger I on which Karius was on board was turret number 217.
