The 1\/48 scale version has received all new tooling and further extends the long line-up of kits offered in this smaller scale!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe slightly outlandish form of the Sturmtiger is reproduced with accuracy, including the 38cm gun, bulky fighting compartment, lower hull, suspension and link and length assembly type tracks.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe 38cm caliber barrel is depicted by a molded part with rifling detail on the barrel tip.
