Description
The German Sturmmörser Tiger, German for Assault Tiger, was a World War II German assault gun built on the Tiger I chassis and armed with a 380 mm rocket propelled round. Its primary task was to provide heavy fire support for infantry units fighting in urban areas. The few produced vehicles saw combat in the Warsaw Uprising, the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of the Reichswald. Known by various informal names, Sturmtiger became the most popular name.
Rye Field Model‘s Sturmmörser Tiger consists of 16 tan plastic sprues, a slide moulded turret, lower hull, and 380 mm rockets, 1 PE fret, and fully workable tracks. The kit features a complete interior for the turret and fighting compartment showcasing the details if the modeller chooses to have the turret removable hatches in the open state. The turret features a crisp steel rolled texture with the inclusion of a transparent roof showing all the intricate details of the fighting compartment.
The kit also features a fully workable torsion bar suspension system with a full set of workable tracks after assembly, for various diorama scenarios. The kit contains slide moulded 380 mm rockets, minimizing the clean up time required in cleaning seam lines.
The included PE fret contains parts for enhancing the engine grills, tools’ clamps, and the rifling for the 380 mm barrel.
