The Panzerkampfwagen VI-B Tiger II, or King Tiger, is a hallmark of late Second World War German heavy armour. It combined a potent 88mm high-velocity gun with substantial frontal protection and saw limited production from Henschel beginning in August 1944.
The vehicle was driven by a Maybach HL230 P30 V-12 generating about 700 hp and mounted a turret front plate reaching roughly 185mm in thickness. Those tangible technical features give scale builders a wealth of reference points when recreating the subject.
Tamiya supplies accurately moulded plastic parts in light brown and black tones, a correctly scaled 88mm gun and flexible tracks suitable for a static display. The set includes a commander figure, waterslide decals and a vinyl intake net. As with typical static kits, paints and adhesives are not included and must be sourced separately.
