Trumpeter 1:72 King Tiger with Zimmerit - Precision Miniature of a Heavy Tank

The Sd.Kfz. 182 King Tiger, fitted with the Henschel turret and Zimmerit anti-magnetic paste, is a key subject for WWII armour modellers. Officially the Pz.kpfw VI Tiger II Ausf. B, this heavy tank combined thick armour with a long 88mm gun. The Trumpeter 07291 kit reproduces those notable features in tidy 1:72 form.

Service history and modeller observations

Entering service late in the war, the King Tiger aimed to outperform earlier tank designs through superior protection and firepower. This kit presents the vehicle's main characteristics and allows modellers to focus on small-scale detailing and correct surface treatment reflective of the period.

Construction notes and presentation tips

With 103 plastic components on eight sprues, the assembly offers a rewarding build that benefits from patient preparation and painting. The included Zimmerit texture and period German decals help produce an authentic looking miniature once completed.
