1:72 Scale Diecast metal and plastic parts – Eurocopter Tiger UHT - Germany - Length: 8.25" (from tail to tip of rotor at the front) Rotor span: 7”
This Tiger model is a twin seat model and does not include a pilot/crew figures. The cockpit can not open. The landing gear is nicely detailed. Attached to the wings are a variety of rockets and missiles. A stand where the model can be attached for display is included. The display stand has the model's info such as country, flag and scale.
The blades for the main rotor need to be attached. Although they are supposed to be snap/friction fit, it seems that it will be better is a tiny (very tiny) drop of super glue is applied just to keep things secure. The assembly for the rotor and the blades are very fragile, so one needs to be very careful when attaching the blades since it is very easy to bend or break things out of shape.
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.

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.
