This 1/72 plastic assembly kit models the German Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger with the Henschel turret, produced as a compact heavy tank suitable for experienced modellers and display collectors.
The vehicle, Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. B (Sd.Kfz.182), was developed in 1942-43 to follow the Tiger I, combining thicker armour with a long 88 mm gun. It entered limited production and was deployed late in World War II, primarily in defensive roles on Eastern and Western fronts.
The kit offers a small-scale representation emphasising external detail and scale-correct proportions. Moulded parts cover hull, turret and accessory fittings on several sprues, with tracks supplied as separate pieces. Decal options are provided for late-war German three-colour camouflage patterns. Builders should apply appropriate paints and subtle weathering to achieve a realistic display finish.
A compact 1/72 King Tiger that focuses on accurate external form and tidy sprue presentation, ideal for shelf models and compact dioramas.
