Publisher's Description of Tiger I Tank (Metal Earth 3D Laser Cut Models)
This German tank was the most powerful tank in the world when it was introduced in August 1942. The 88mm gun was extremely powerful and the heavy armor made it almost impervious to attack. The success of the Tiger was so profound, that no allied tank dared to engage it in open combat. This psychological fear soon became to be known as "Tigerphobia".

and more with these Metal Earth 3D metal model kits! Each kit holds one or more thin sheets of shiny metal with laser-cut
and engraved pieces. Follow the directions to assemble the models using tabs
and slots – no glue or solder required! The instructions are a bit tricky, so
these would be best for experienced model builders. You’ll need to supply
needle nose pliers, tweezers, and clippers, or purchase the Metal EarthTool Kit which
includes clippers, flat nose pliers and needle nose pliers. The Premium Series features more detail and slightly larger models.
