1:48 Sturmtiger
38cm Self-Propelled Assault Mortar
Item #32591

Description
The Tamiya 1/35 Military Miniatures Sturmtiger is a classic kit
that has been around for decades. The 1/48 scale version has
received all new tooling and further extends the long line-up of
kits offered in this smaller scale!

The Sturmtiger was a seldom-seen variant of the Tiger I, using
existing chassis and suspension to mount a mammoth 38cm caliber
mortar for use against buildings and other fortifications in
urban warfare. Only an estimated 18 were ever produced, between
August and December 1944, and they were somewhat unwieldy in that
they weighed around 65 tons. Nonetheless, they would still have
proved a frightening foe to those who encountered them in the
Battle of the Bulge, the Warsaw Uprising and the invasion of the
German homeland.
