Dragon’s famous 1/35 scale Tiger I Initial Production, Item No. 6252, was a
landmark kit. At the time of its release, it represented a huge leap forward
in the quality and comprehensiveness of plastic model kits. Indeed, this Tiger
I set a milestone that all high-quality AFV models still aspire to. The kit
portrayed a tank from s.Pz.Abt.502, a unit that was formed in August 1942 and
immediately dispatched to the front near Leningrad. It was the first Tiger I
unit to enter combat, and it bravely soldiered on in the Eastern Front until
the end of the war.
To the delight of modelers, this remarkable and much sought after 1/35 scale
kit has now been downsized to 1/72 in the form of Item No. 7370. Fortunately,
none of the detail of its larger brother has been lost. The kit features the
exact detail of vehicle #100 of s.Pz.Abt.502, the “Mammoth” tank unit. This
particular Initial Production tank fought on the Leningrad Front before being
captured by the Soviets. At the time, this remarkable war trophy was widely
photographed by its gleeful captors. Dragon’s new kit in this smaller scale
is remarkably detailed and widely uses slide-molded components to deliver the
level of detail required. The Tiger I is a legendary tank, and tank #100 is
a legend in its own right. Thus modelers receive two legends in a single kit!
