Dragon Models (MONO) 1:35 scale Tiger I Early Production "Wittmann's Tiger" (Kursk 1943) MD006 scale model kit
This 1/35 scale kit is a special collaboration release between Dragon Models and the Japanese brand MONO, depicting the legendary Tiger I Early Production as commanded by tank ace Michael Wittmann during the Battle of Kursk (Operation Citadel) in 1943. Designed to be more builder-friendly than Dragon's complex "Smart Kits," this edition combines Dragon's superb molding quality with simplified assembly features.

User-Friendly Tracks: Replaces the complex individual-link Magic Tracks with high-detail, one-piece flexible belt tracks, significantly speeding up the assembly process for intermediate modelers.
