At the time of its introduction in August 1942, the Tiger I was the most potent and heavily armored tank in the world. Weighing 57 tons and armed with a mighty 8.8cm main gun, it was a dangerous predator on any battlefield. During the course of its life, various modifications and improvements were made to various components. The Late Production version, for example, was characterized by having steel road wheels instead of rubber-rimmed wheels of earlier vehicles. This Dragon kit will build one of the following: Tiger I Late Production, Tiger I Final Production, or Tiger I Late Production (Command Version). Paint colors needed: White, Black, Red, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Copper, Flat Black, Steel, Off White, Wood Brown, Flesh, Wood Brown, Red Brown, Field Gray (2), Middle Stone, Burnt Iron, Khaki Green, Metallic Red, Clear Red, and Dark Yellow.
