Trumpeter 1/72 Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Porsche Turret Assembly Kit

The German King Tiger, commonly referred to as the Tiger II, combined formidable firepower and heavy armor during the Second World War. Trumpeter's 1/72 interpretation reproduces the Porsche turret variant and the tank's characteristic silhouette for scale modelling.

Service History and Model Context

Developed as a successor to the Tiger I with work beginning in 1942, the King Tiger carried a long 88mm gun and significant 150mm frontal protection. This model lets builders represent a key example of late-war German armour in miniature form.

What to Expect When Building

Intended for display and reference, the kit contains 105 plastic parts arranged on eight sprues and assembles to a final length of 143mm. It uses only plastic components and does not include metal or resin extras, making it straightforward to construct and paint.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:72
  • Length: 143mm
  • Width: 53.7mm
  • Height: 43.6mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 105pcs
  • Total Sprues: 8pcs
  • Decal Marking: Germany ARMY
The kit suits intermediate modellers; careful trimming and filling are helpful for neat joins, but the parts fit well with basic modelling tools.
Plastic moulding captures the main contours and surface detail; those seeking finer fidelity may opt for aftermarket metal barrels or photo-etched upgrades.
Apply decals to a gloss-sealed surface, use a setting solution to conform markings, and finish with a matt or satin varnish to seal and tone them into the paintwork.
Yes, weathering techniques like washes, dry-brushing, and pigments can add operational wear and depth to the finished model for a more authentic look.
