German Tiger I Steel Scale Model

This Metal Earth kit reproduces the German Tiger I tank as a steel scale model with true-to-scale exterior detail. It arrives in a brand-new box and is officially licensed. The set contains 60 parts and assembles to approximately 2.87 by 1.77 by 1.18 inches. It is rated moderate difficulty and suited for adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts.

Upgrade from basic snap-together kits

The moderate difficulty rating makes this kit a step up from simpler snap-together models that require no tools. Builders who have completed entry-level kits and want finer detail without glue or paint will find the jump worthwhile. The 60 steel parts deliver a more complex assembly and a display-grade finish. It replaces the need for separate painting or gluing steps.

Check your toolkit and workspace

No glue or paint is required, but tweezers or similar precision tools are recommended for handling the small steel parts. Ensure you have a well-lit, stable surface and enough patience for the moderate-level assembly. The model has no openings, so interior detailing is not a factor. Verify you are comfortable working at the stated scale before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much space does the assembled 2.87 by 1.77 by 1.18 inch tank need for display?

The finished model measures roughly 2.87 inches long, 1.77 inches wide and 1.18 inches high, so a small shelf or cabinet space of about three inches square is sufficient.

What tools are needed to bend and connect the 60 steel parts without glue?

No adhesive is required; the kit is designed for tab-and-slot assembly. Tweezers or needle-nose pliers are recommended to fold tabs and seat parts securely.

Are any moving features such as hatches or wheels included that could wear out?

The model has no openings or moving components. It is a static display piece, so there are no mechanical parts to maintain or replace over time.
