Excludes allglues,paintsand toolsnecessary to assemble.

The Sturmtiger based on the Tiger I was armed with a short-barreled 38cm Raketenwerfer 61 L/5.4, breech-loading rocket launcher/mortar. The RW 61 launcher fired short-range (4,600 to 6,000 meters). Sturmtigers equipped three Panzer Sturm-Mrser-Kompanie (PzStuMrKp)-1000, 1001 and 1002 that served mainly on the Western Front. Only 18 Sturmtigers were produced, and they did not have any effect on the outcome of the war. In their limited use, Sturmtigers proved to be excellent defensive weapons but were slow and mechanically unreliable
