The Aber 35043 set is designed for modelers building the Sturmtiger vehicle (Sturm-Mörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW61) in 1/35 scale, specifically dedicated to models from Tamiya and Italeri. This product is a professional upgrade set enabling advanced enhancement of plastic Sturmtiger models, the German assault gun from World War II.

Historical Information

The Sturmtiger was a specialized armored vehicle developed by Germany during World War II. Equipped with the powerful 38 cm RW61 rocket mortar, it was designed for destroying fortifications, strongpoints, and urban combat. It was used by the Wehrmacht primarily in the later years of the war – from 1944, including during the Warsaw Uprising and the fighting for Cologne. Only 18 units were produced in total, and due to its niche role and limited numbers, today it is highly valued by modelers and military historians.
