Academy 13229 - 1/35 German King Tiger 'Last Production' Product Notes

The Academy 1/35 German King Tiger 'Last Production' kit presents a faithful miniature of the heavy Tiger II tank. Famed for its heavy armor and large 88mm gun, the King Tiger appears here in its final production form. The kit is suited to modellers who want to build a historically faithful static model.

Background and Modelling Value

Built late in World War II, the Tiger II married heavy armor with long-range firepower, making it a formidable vehicle on the front lines. The 'Last Production' variant carries the finishing changes from the final runs. This kit helps modellers recreate that late-war appearance with accurate moulded parts.

Tips for Building

Academy intended this release for intermediate and advanced modellers. Careful trimming, dry-fitting and precise gluing are important, especially around the suspension and turret. The result, when painted and detailed, is a convincing display model that highlights period engineering.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Required for realistic finish
This release is best for those with modelling experience; beginners may find the fine parts and assembly challenging without prior practice.
The kit focuses on exterior detail for display; internal compartments are not modelled as part of the standard assembly.
Use model paints formulated for plastic models and follow historical colour references for authentic finishes; primer and weathering products help achieve a museum-style look.
