Tiger I Initial Production w/ Full Interior & Cutaway Parts

Germany’s Tiger I heavy tank was developed by the German armored forces in the months following the invasion on the Soviet Union, and later the North African Campaign. Fitted with an 88mm gun, the Tiger I initial production version provided the Deutsches Afrikakorps, DAK, with their first heavy tank on the battlefield. The Tiger I later on appeared in almost all front-line battles in Germany. The German Tiger I heavy tank had a strong psychological deterrent effect to many opponents. Its very complicated design, requiring a lot of expensive materials and heavy production facilities, combined with the manufacturing time led to around only 1,347 units built between August 1942 and August 1944.
