Panzer Art RE35-036 Barrel with canvas cover for Tiger I tank (early) 1/35

Panzer Art RE35-036 is a high-quality aftermarket set designed for modelers building replicas of the Tiger I tank in 1/35 scale, specifically the early variant used by German forces during World War II. The featured product includes a precisely reproduced barrel with the characteristic canvas cover, which was installed on selected Tiger I vehicles operating on both the Eastern and Western fronts to protect the turret mechanisms from dust, mud, and adverse weather conditions.

Historically, the Tiger I tank (Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E – Sd.Kfz.181) is one of the most recognizable armored vehicles of World War II, introduced into service in 1942 and used until the end of the conflict in 1945. Thanks to its powerful 88mm gun and thick armor, the Tiger I posed a significant threat to most Allied tanks. Barrel canvas covers were a common sight in field conditions, where crews took care to protect the weapons from dirt and water.

The Panzer Art RE35-036 set is made from highest-quality resin, ensuring exceptional reproduction of even the finest details of the canvas texture, folds, and seams. Unlike standard plastic model parts, resin parts guarantee much sharper detail, giving your Tiger I model an even more realistic appearance once the barrel is assembled. The set includes the barrel and the canvas cover imitation, which require careful cutting, fitting, and gluing, and then painting with your choice of hobby paints.
