During the Taros campaign, the T’au deployed a new variant of its Tiger Shark fighter-bomber. Codified as the AX-1-0, this heavily armed aircraft replaced its drone racks and ion cannon with two heavy rail cannons and a seeker missile array. These massive weapons, usually mounted on the far larger Manta, turn the Tiger Shark into a formidable ground attack craft.
Designed to cut through the air like a knife while deploying the kind of apocalyptic weaponry previously unseen on a craft of its sleekness and efficiency, the T’au Tiger Shark AX-1-0 is a complete multi-part resin kit. It features several modelling options – there is a choice of either cyclic ion blasters or burst cannons for the wing-tip drones, and the undercarriage can be modelled open or closed. Struts and landing gear are supplied for the open undercarriage option, and there are recessed areas sculpted into the underside of the miniature – should you wish to use magnets in order to switch between the open or closed undercarriage at your leisure, the space is there.
Besides those options, the kit is covered in details; whilst obviously dominated by the 2 enormous heavy rail cannons (perfect for puncturing Imperial Titans), there are also 6 seeker missiles, upper and lower exhaust systems for each of the 2 engines, 2 electronic countermeasure pods, and 2 chaff launchers.
The T'au Tiger Shark AX-1-0 is a complete resin kit comprised of 67 components. This modelling kit is not a toy – it is a collectible item and construction should only be undertaken by expert Warhammer hobbyists aged 15 years and over.
This kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
