BuildArmy WW2 German Tiger 1 Ausf.E tank (1043 pcs)

Step back in time and build your very own iconic WW2 German Tiger 1 tank in Lego compatible bricks! Widely regarded as the most iconic tank of World War II, The Tiger 1 was developed by Germany in response to the Soviet T-34 tank. Its heavy armour and a powerful 88mm gun made it a formidable opponent on the battlefield. Its distinctive design and role in key battles such as the Battle of Kursk and Normandy landings have cemented its status as a symbol of the war.

The Tiger 1 tank is the first heavy tank recreated by Dr. Ruibin Zhang. It has undergone several revisions since its inception and remains the undisputed centerpiece of our collection. With 1056 high-quality ABS bricks that stick to the rule of Lego, this Lego compatible Tiger tank accurately captured all the authentic details that make it so special.

On the whole, the armour plates are mostly vertical with some slight sloping in areas such as the frontal glacis plates and the rear armour plate. This resulted in the very distinct, boxy appearance of the Tiger I's hull. As for the turret, the sides and rear had a distinct curved shape. This was achieved by bending a single long 80mm-thick armour plate into the shape of a horseshoe by means of a giant press (Figure 1).

Additionally, this kit features the schachtellaufwerk interleaved and overlapping road wheel arrangement for its functional suspension. The original purpose of this design was to spread the Tiger I's ground pressure out evenly across its tracks.


The attention to detail doesn't stop on the surface: this Lego compatible Tiger 1 tank also has interior structures such as the driver seats, the control panel, the turret ring and the engine. Its accurate design provides an educational experience, allowing you to learn about the tank's history while enjoying the relaxing process of building.
