Italeri 72005 - 1/72 Sd. Kfz.182 King Tiger: Model Brief

The Italeri 72005 in 1/72 scale recreates the Sd. Kfz.182 King Tiger with attention to its main structural features. This small-scale kit gives hobbyists a chance to add a key WWII heavy tank to compact displays without taking much shelf space.

Wartime Background and Scale Accuracy

Known officially as Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, the King Tiger appeared in 1944 and was noted for its heavy armour and powerful armament. The full-size vehicle used a strong engine to move its heavy frame; Italeri reduces those proportions to 1/72 while keeping characteristic details intact.

Build Notes and Tips

The kit provides a satisfying build that rewards careful work. Small components call for steady handling and precise gluing, while painting and weathering will enhance the model's realism. Its compact footprint makes it straightforward to display with other 1/72 items.
