Academy 13423 1/72 King Tiger Henschel Turret - Model Brief

The Academy 13423 kit presents the German King Tiger in the Henschel turret configuration at 1/72 scale. It captures the tank's bulky silhouette and offers a compact option for historical modelling and display.

Historical Context and Model Focus

The King Tiger, or Tiger II, is known for heavy armour and distinctive profile. This kit focuses on the Henschel turret example, giving modellers a chance to replicate that well known variant in miniature form.

Tips for a Clean Build

Parts are moulded with reasonable detail and fit. Test fitting, careful trimming, and seam sanding will improve the appearance, while painting and subtle weathering will bring out the small scale details.

Specifications

  • Material: Plastic

Are there fragile parts to watch for?

Some smaller components can be delicate; remove parts from sprues carefully and handle tiny pieces with tweezers to avoid damage.

What preparation improves paint results?

Wash parts to remove mould release, apply a light primer, and build up thin paint layers to keep panel detail crisp at 1/72 scale.

Will the kit take weathering well?

Yes, washes, filters and gentle dry brushing work well on this kit to suggest operational wear without obscuring fine details.
