Michael Wittmann's Tiger I S04 - Heavy Tank | 1:25 Scale

Michael Wittmann and his crew, Knight's Cross Ceremony, 1944. S04 was his command tank.
THE MAN. THE MACHINE. THE LEGEND.

By January 1944, SS-Obersturmführer Michael Wittmann had already established himself as the most feared tank commander on the Eastern Front. His Tiger I, serial number S04, was his instrument — a 57-ton machine he understood intimately.

In the space of a single engagement at Prokhorovka, he had accumulated a kill count that made senior commanders stop and look twice. That same month, he was summoned behind the lines for a ceremony that would define his legacy.

Wittmann received the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords — one of the highest decorations issued during the war. S04 was the tank he rode into that history.

Every pad-printed marking on the S04 kit is historically referenced. Kill rings on the barrel. The tactical number. The Iron Cross on the hull.

What's in the box. What it feels like to build.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

The kit

1,544 precision-engineered pieces, organized in numbered bags.

Pad-printed markings. Factory-applied and permanent.

Full-color step-by-step instruction manual. Large illustrations, clear part placement, built for readability.

Premium ABS plastic. Tight tolerances. Every piece fits. Every connection holds.

Collector-grade packaging.

The build

No glue. No paint. No mess. No special tools. Just you and a quiet weekend.

Clear enough for your first build. Detailed enough for your twentieth.

Average build time: 8-12 hours across a weekend or a few evenings. The kind of project you look forward to getting back to.

If you used to build Tamiya or Revell kits, this is the part you loved without the parts you didn't. No fumes. No drying time. No point of no return. Make a mistake, pull it apart, keep going.

"After 60 years of building plastic, this is a breath of fresh air. Hate to say this but after building 5, soon to be 6 of these sets I really have no motivation to do anymore 1/35 plastic armor. These are much more fun."

He didn't fight for abstractions. He fought for the men in the tank with him.

Michael Wittmann was killed in action on August 8, 1944, near Saint-Aignan-de-Cramesnil in Normandy. He was 30 years old. His remains were recovered in 1983 and re-interred at La Cambe German War Cemetery. We use this image with permission and with respect. This kit is not a toy. It is a tribute to the men, on all sides, who fought and died in these machines.

REAL BUILDS. REAL COLLECTORS.

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

Initially, I was skeptical of the claims made in this company's ads. At 60+ years old I had not attempted a model build since my teenage years. I ordered three different products from three different companies. From BrixKrieg I ordered the tank killer combo. Within four days I had my models. I started assembly with high anxiety. I sent an email asking for clarification on some instructions. Much to my surprise, not only did I receive an email in reply minutes later, I received a phone call from the owner himself. Since then, I have finished the Jagdpanzer with tremendous satisfaction. All of that while still waiting on delivery from the other two competitors. I have found my go-to place for any future purchases.

Awesome build experience. I'm not a model kit guy normally, but this was straightforward to follow. The instructions were clear with big illustrations that actually made sense. No glue, no paint, no mess. I built this thing at my kitchen table while watching TV. My wife was happy there wasn't a bunch of chemical smell or cleanup involved. Pieces fit together nice and tight. Nothing felt cheap or flimsy. Finished product looks legit sitting on my desk. Co-workers keep asking where I got it.

Great kits and superior customer service, no waiting for weeks for a package. Purchased a Panzer IV and a Sherman, they arrived only days later. Had a small issue with missing a bag of parts from the Panzer and got an immediate response and within days there was a replacement kit on my porch. Top tier communication and handling of the whole situation. Will be back for more.

I have had the chance to put my hands on the only operational Panzerkampfwagen V Panther in existence in North America. It was a truly awesome experience. So I took a chance and my first purchase was the Panther build. It is truly remarkable how accurate this tank is. When you build it and say to yourself, 'they added this detail?' it is greatly understated how accurate these are. Further, Tony has been extremely accessible via email since my purchase. What business does that? When I go out of my way to review, it is truly because everything went above and beyond my expectations.

I made a purchase from BrixKrieg recently, and within 3 days had my package. If you are like me and hesitant making purchases from someone new with little presence, don't be afraid to give these guys a try. From the moment I pressed pay (and prayed I wasn't making a mistake), I received confirmation, communication the next day it was ready to ship, and 2 days later the package arrived. The quality of the bricks is the best I have seen outside of the big name brand. Tight tolerances, and the fit and quality are on par. Will I buy from BrixKrieg again, absolutely. You have a new loyal customer.

Each kit I have purchased has brought me joy in the assembly and the display. I feel I have become addicted to putting them together!

GOT QUESTIONS

WE'VE GOT ANSWERS

  • No. The Tiger I S04 is a collector-grade building block kit designed for adults. It is not marketed to children, not sold in toy stores, and not built like a toy. The pad-printed details, tight tolerances, and 1:28 scale make it a display piece — the kind of thing that earns a permanent spot on a shelf, a desk, or a man cave.
  • The Tiger I S04 builds at 1:28 scale — substantial enough to be a commanding display piece without taking over your entire shelf. It is the most detailed Tiger I building block kit available at this scale.
  • Manageable for any adult builder. The instructions are clear, illustrated, and organized by numbered bag so you always know exactly where you are in the build. Most collectors complete it over a weekend. No glue, no paint, no special tools required.
  • Our California warehouse. Not overseas. Orders placed before 5PM Eastern ship the same day. 99% of all orders are fulfilled within 24 hours. Delivery is 2–7 days via UPS Ground.
  • Contact us and a replacement ships the same day. No runaround, no waiting weeks, no unanswered emails. A real person handles it immediately.
  • That's for you to decide — but here's what you're getting: pad-printed details that never peel, collector-grade tolerances, a historically accurate 1:28 scale build, fast US shipping, and a company that stands behind every single order. This is not a cheap kit. It is not priced like one either.
