Italeri have re-released their 1/35th scale Sturm Tiger which is a reasonable kit to bring back to the market due to what is included in the box. Take a look inside for details.
Italeri has re-released their 38 cm RW 61 auf Sturmmörser Tiger. The kit is supplied with a partial interior, an engine, and is one of the early kits to be supplied with moulded on zimmerit. If the price is right with this one it could sell well. Here is the short write up Italeri supplied with the kit;
During World War II the German Army had to combat frequently fortified positions or urban defence centres. Due to tactical reason - the troops were at short distance to the enemy lines - artillery and air support could not be engaged. This led to the development of the “Sturm” - version of the “Tiger” heavy tank (Italeri N. 293). Onto the heavy-duty chassis the efficient and unique 38 cm mortar was mounted, which had a short range but enormous fire power. Only few units of the Sturm Tiger were built and were mainly used in 1944 at the Eastern front.
