Tackling the Tiger: A Sneak Peek at Takom's New Tiger I Early Big Box Kits

Hey hobbyists! We're thrilled to be back with some exciting news and updates—both about our shop and a pair of amazing new kits from Takom.

Big Changes at HQ ?

Before we dive into the plastic, a quick update: we’ve been deep in the process of moving our entire online warehouse into a much larger facility. It's been a massive job, but the expansion is allowing us to build something incredible: a brand-new superstore retail front and YouTube studio. You might already notice the new surroundings—blue screen, green screen wall, the whole works. I’ll be doing a full tour once it’s all finished!

Now Let’s Talk Tanks: Takom’s Tiger I Early Big Box Kits ?

What’s the big buzz? Takom has dropped not one, but TWO new Tiger I Early kits—and they’re bundled together in a massive “Big Box” deal for just $69.99 during pre-order.

What’s in the Box?

Inside this Tiger I Early Big Box, you get:

• Two highly detailed 1/35 scale Tiger I Early kits

• A BONUS 1/16 scale Michael Wittmann figure

• A 1/35 scale Wittmann figure included in the Command Tiger version

• Tons of options and accessories

Takom didn't hold back—these kits are absolutely packed. Bigger boxes, more sprues, metal barrels, clear vision blocks, and even photo-etched brass details like star antennas and grill guards. Everything you need to build multiple versions of early Tigers with authentic historical accuracy.

Standout Features ?️

• Torsion bar suspension that’s workable

• Link-and-length tracks with separate, hollowed-out guide horns for realism

• Multiple mantlet and turret basket options

• Early-style tracks, vision ports, stowage bins—even Panzer III bins!

• Metal 88mm aluminum gun barrel

• Copper wire tow cables that bend and hold shape

• Zimmerit texture mantlets included, though not used on these early versions

• Markings for SO4, Michael Wittmann’s own Tiger, with multiple camo schemes

Andy’s own Tiger build even gets a shoutout in the kit with custom SO4 markings—so yes, you can replicate the very Tiger from Andy’s 1/16 scale build in 1/35!

Assembly & Instruction Rundown ?

The instruction manual is super detailed, showing all the steps for both kits. There’s also a full breakdown of how to assemble the figures and apply markings. Whether you go for snow camouflage or classic tri-tone, the decals give you flexibility.

What’s Next? 

With the move nearly complete, we’re revving up the content engine again! Expect build videos, studio tours, a deep dive into our expanded online store (we’ve added over 600 Gundam kits already!), and more.
