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

The King Tiger was noted for its heavy frontal armour and potent 88mm armament, traits replicated in this 1/72 Trumpeter release. The parts capture the silhouette and surface detail of the Henschel turret variant, giving modellers a compact yet accurate representation of the vehicle.

Why Builders Value This Kit

As an evolution from the Tiger I, the King Tiger combined improved protection and firepower. The Henschel turret is one of the recognised late-war forms, and this kit focuses on those defining features. Model fans will find the assembly both informative and engaging.

Assembly Tips for Small-Scale Accuracy

The kit includes 101 grey plastic pieces plus two track parts across four sprues, arranged to recreate the hull and turret details at 1/72 scale. Builders should use fine tools and thin glue to preserve panel lines and small fittings. Painting in thin layers will maintain sharp detail.

This release is modelled specifically as the Henschel turret variant; converting to other turret types would require extensive kit-bashing and reference work.
The kit supplies two track components intended for static assembly rather than flexible, working tracks common on larger scales.
While not the most complex subject, the small parts and precise fit make this kit better suited to modellers with some prior experience in 1/72 modelling.
The decals provide a sand, green and brown scheme typical of late-war German practice; builders may still reference period photos to refine weathering and placement.
