Lego tiger 1 ausf E late

Iconic trapezoidal prism.

Mr. panzerbricklabs on instagram inspired me to further improve the design by adding the frontal slope to the tiger 1.

 

If you didn't know the history of the tiger 1 already; it was a heavy tank introduced in 1942 designed for breakthrough operations. It featured a 100mm frontal armour and an 8.8cm kwk 36 gun good for long range. The late war variants specifically had design changes such as a much lower profile commanders cupola, simplified steel rimmed road wheels, and a couple more battlefield reliability improvements. The problem with the tiger 1 was that it was expensive, mechanically complex, and produced in limited numbers. It had a fearsome reptation in the allied forces on both western and eastern fronts.
