Border Model Plastic Model Kit Imperial Japanese Army Tiger I (1/35) BT-023 This imaginative 1/35 scale kit from Border Model presents the iconic German Tiger I tank reimagined in service with the Imperial Japanese Army. A compelling 'what-if' concept model, it explores the idea of Axis technology sharing during WWII, blending the formidable German Tiger chassis with Japanese markings and customisations. The kit features finely detailed plastic parts, including realistic surface textures, functional turret and gun components, and optional stowage elements styled to reflect hypothetical Japanese field use. Model builders can create a unique and striking version of the Tiger I that never saw historical deployment but offers fascinating modelling potential. 1/35 scale plastic model kit by Border Model Includes full detail Tiger I components Imperial Japanese Army markings Highly detailed exterior surfaces and components Optional parts for custom stowage and loadout Photo-etch parts and decals included Note: This model kit requires assembly and painting. Glue, paints and tools are not included and must be purchased separately. History: While the Tiger I never served in the Japanese Army, the concept of Axis collaboration has long inspired alternative history modellers. This 'what-if' version suggests what might have occurred if Germany had supplied Tiger tanks to Japan late in the war. Combining German engineering with Japanese camouflage and tactical doctrine, the model challenges builders to blend historical realism with speculative creativity. It stands as a unique addition to any collection focused on alternative military scenarios or Axis powers modelling.
