Academy #13264 Tiger-1 Early Production
The German Tiger tank was one of the most powerful tanks to see use in WWII and was greatly feared and respected by the Allies because of its 88mm main gun and thick armour plate. Tiger production began in 1942 and the tank remained in production with minor modifications through the end of WWII. Typically Tigers had a crew of 5. They could travel at up to 23mph on hard roads and were powered by Maybach 21 353cc V-12 engines that delivered 642hp.
