1:72 Scale Plastic Model – Eurocopter Tiger UHT - German Army – Fuselage Length: 8.25" Rotor Span: 7”
This model is a twin seat model. No pilot/crew figures are included. The cockpit is glued shut. The landing gear is fixed in the extended position.
This plastic model is mostly assembled and painted. There is some minor assembly required. The propeller blades need to be attached to the main rotor. The attachment does not need glue but the pieces are very small and fragile and patience and a level of dexterity is needed. The fitting of the parts are held in place by friction alone but depending on the particular model, one might need to add a tiny smear of glue to hold pieces in place or on the other hand, sand/scrape some material make pieces fit.
This is not a toy. Recommended for 15 and up.
The Eurocopter Tiger is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter which first entered service in 2003. It is manufactured by Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter), which arose from the merger of Aérospatiale's and DASA's respective helicopter divisions. Airbus Helicopters designates it as the EC665. In France and Spain, the Tiger is known as the Tigre (which is French and Spanish for Tiger), while in Germany and Australia it is referred to as the Tiger.
