The Pz. Kpfw. VI "Tiger" with the side number 114, which is located in the
Muse des Blinds in Saumur, France, is one of the most important exhibits of
this museum. Tiger tanks were some of the most famous and dangerous armored
machines used by Germany during World War II. They became famous for their
powerful armament, especially the 88mm gun and their thick armored shielding.
This particular specimen, marked with the number 114, is one of the few
preserved in the world, which makes it extremely valuable both historically
and technologically. This tank took part in the fighting and was captured by
the Allies. After repairs, it began service in the French army under the name
"Bretagne". It is currently undergoing renovation and will soon return to the
exhibition and will be used during dynamic field shows! The 1:35 scale model,
consisting of 870 elements, is 25cm long. It offers a choice of German or
French markings. The model features a removable Maybach HL 210 engine replica,
working caterpillar tracks, a rotating turret and a movable gun. It also
includes detailed German and French tank crew figures with accessories such as
binoculars and a wrench. The Tiger I, introduced in 1942, was one of the most
powerful tanks of its era, known for its 88mm gun and exceptional armor
protection. Production totaled around 1, 350 units.
