Trumpeter 07201 1/72 King Tiger Sd.Kfz. 182 with Henschel Turret

Renowned for heavy armour and the 88mm main gun, the King Tiger is a standout WWII subject. This Trumpeter 07201 1/72 kit captures the vehicle's mass and profile in a small footprint, making it suitable for cabinets, vignettes or battlefield groupings.

Catalogue Context and Model Focus

The King Tiger evolved from the earlier Tiger I, emphasising protection and firepower. The Henschel turret variant is a notable late-war configuration and is modelled here with attention to visible surfaces and fittings. The kit is useful for those studying late-war German armour in miniature.

Tips for Accurate Small-Scale Results

The kit comprises 101 grey plastic pieces and two track parts across four sprues, assembled to recreate the King Tiger's external appearance. Careful seam work and thin paint layers will preserve the moulded detail and give a convincing final model.

Yes, the model's accurate silhouette and scale make it a good candidate for small dioramas, especially with groundwork and a few weathering effects.
The kit is well detailed out of the box; however, advanced modellers may add photo-etched parts, metal barrels or resin stowage to raise realism further.
Assembly time varies by skill, but expect several evenings to complete careful fitting, seam work and painting at 1/72 scale.
Decals are sized for 1/72 and fit typical surface areas; use decal setting solutions and careful trimming to ensure correct placement on curved panels.
