This 1/72 plastic assembly kit reproduces the German Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger with the Henschel turret, scaled for compact display and aimed at experienced hobbyists and collectors.
Known officially as Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. B (Sd.Kfz.182), the King Tiger was developed in 1942-43 to succeed the Tiger I, featuring heavier armour and a long 88 mm main gun. It combined substantial frontal protection with powerful firepower and appeared in limited numbers late in the war on both Eastern and Western fronts.
The kit emphasises external accuracy and scale proportions for 1/72. Components include hull, turret and accessory fittings spread across several sprues for systematic assembly; tracks are supplied as individual parts. Decal sheets cover typical late-war German three-colour camouflage. Builders should expect to provide paint and weathering for a museum-quality finish.
A neat 1/72 scale King Tiger kit that prioritises external detail and tidy sprue layout, ideal for small dioramas and shelf displays.
