The Tiger I was developed after German forces encountered heavily armored enemy tanks during World War II. Production began in 1942, and the vehicle was armed with the formidable 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun. The Early 1943 variant is considered by many enthusiasts to represent the classic appearance of the Tiger I. During this production period the tank still featured the large Feifel air cleaners designed for dusty environments, the early turret equipment and several manufacturing details that were later simplified to speed up wartime production. Tigers of this type saw action in North Africa, on the Eastern Front and during the Battle of Kursk, one of the largest tank battles in history.
